View source for Auspex

Auspex is the [[:Category:Mental Disciplines|Mental Discipline]] of perception. At the lower levels it gives you control over ones own perception, allowing one to see more of the world, even things normally unseen. At the higher levels it begins to give control over the perception of others.

=== See the Unseen ===
For each level your ability to see through illusions improves; you can pierce Obfuscate and similar abilities of lower level. If given a hint (such as being told, touching the illusion or an invisible creature interacting with objects) you can pierce Obfuscate and similar abilities of equal level.

=== Powers ===

==== Level 1: Aura perception ====
Your senses expand into the mystical and you become able to perceive [[Aura|Auras]]. Upon activation you can see a targets current main emotion as well as if they are Mortal, Ghoul, Kindred or some other kind of supernatural creature.

==== Level 2: An ear for Lies ====
Where some have learned how to discern lying by body movements this power perfects that art by seeing how the aura moves, if it shifts as they are quickly coming up with lies or gains a tinge of worry of being found out.

==== Level 3: Soulsight ====
Your ability to interpret [[Auras]] has risen to such heights that you can discern and interpret surface level thoughts, especially of mortals.

Kindred are more resistant, but if you have more [[Willpower]] than your target you can discern the reason for their current main emotion.

==== Level 4: Telepathy ====
You are able to connect your mind to another, but only very shallowly. Both parties are aware of the connection and either side can transmit any or all things they currently perceive to the other. The connection is broken when either party loses consciousness or when the side with more [[Willpower]] breaks it.

Notably this connection makes both parties count as present and having eye contact with each other, enabling remote use of [[:Category:Mental Disciplines|Mental Disciplines]] for both of them.

While it isn't possible to directly transfer an internal monologue, speaking to oneself is a quick and easy workaround.
