--Enhanced Scent: You can use smell to locate creatures within 30 feet, and to track. You may roll a Search check at a +4 bonus to track any creature by scent, if you have some way of getting that creature's scent. You can identify different creatures by smell. This ability is not exact - you only know that creatures you can smell are close, and you can tell which general direction they are from you. The distance you can smell creatures from doubles if you are downwind, and halves if you are upwind.

Enhanced Scent Progression:
2 XP: Better Scent: Your scent range improves by 10 feet.

----

--Enhanced Sight: Your eyes can see more than normal humans. You make any vision-related Notice checks at a +2 bonus, and gain a +2 bonus to all ranged attacks you make. You can see just as well in total darkness as you can in broad daylight - illumination does not affect your vision.

Enhanced Sight Progressions:
3 XP: Better Eyes: The bonus to Notice and ranged attacks improves by 1. Each time you take this progression, it costs 1 more XP.

----

--Enhanced Hearing: You can hear extraordinarily well. You can make any sound-related Notice checks at a +4 bonus. In addition, via echolocation, you can tell where every physical object within 10 feet of you is, regardless of any visual interference. This does not work if you become deafened.

Enhanced Hearing Progressions:
2 XP: Improved Echo: Your echolocation range improves by 10 feet.

----

--Bloodsense: You can sense blood innately the moment a living creature enters within 20 feet of you. You know the exact distance and direction of each living creature in the area at all times. This ability ignores physical barriers.
