Kirlian Weapon Sight

Unread post by Rockwolf66 »

hey all,
I've been looking into Kirlian Photography and Aura Photography and I got thinking. In games where you have lots of disguised Supernatural badguys wouldn't it be a major boon to mundaine players to be able to view beings Auras through a Modified weapon sight so that Aura's were visable.

even with simple photography such images would be really helpful in telling what the party was going up against. does anyone else have any ideas or thoughts as to how such a device would work?

Rifts Japan has something similar to what you describe.
Have you ever been thrown out of a Rifts game for being smarter than the Game Master?

their's worked somewhat differently though. not only was it purely technological and real time, but it actually detects PPE levels.

Only if the game he's in is Rifts or PW.
All others, excluding PF, some sort of tech item would be more available then anything magic in the game.

Not that Kirlian Photography would really show supernaturalness of something/-one.. blah blah blah, IRL.
