Sense-Based is a collection of enhancements (B109) and limitations for Maledictions (B115) in three basic forms commonly seen.

  • Sight-Based or Vision-Based
  • Hearing-Based
  • Touch-Based
  • Scent-Based (B70) or Smell-Based (possibly including Taste-Based though that may be discrete)

Mind Control[]

How this is applied is interesting since it basically has an either/or "reversed" requirement of touch or sight baked in.

-30% melee is used to remove the option to see (touch only) as opposed to -20% for touch-based reversed

P149 has two examples which apply traditional SB limitations

  • -20% if target must hear you Linguistic Programming using [[Hearing-b
  • -20% if target must see you in Super-Hypnotism

Latter case specifies "requires eye contact; a touch isn’t enough."

Powers: The Weird adds Must be able to speak and Only those who know your language atop Hearing-Based, as Mind Control is inherently a "No Signature" ability so a sound actually needs to be created
