Echo Location

Unread post by GreenGhost »

I could've sworn that I saw a super power of Echo Location, but I can't seem to find it in my books. Is there an Echo Location Super Ability or am I nuts? :?

I believe Heightened Sense of Hearing allows for this.

You can estimate distances and speed and direction but it doesn’t give you a real echo location like power. The closest besides the Eugenics power I think would be Radar from the main book.

See also Sonar (PU1, p. 42), Sonic Power (HU2, p. 288), and Sonic Absorption & Reflection (HU2, pp 288-289).

Face piles of trials with smiles. It riles

and keep on thinking free.

Guys, this is just Radar by another name. Slap Radar in, change up the flavor text describing it.

8) I don't think anyone has written it up as a power for the New Powers thread, though it is easily adaptable to being one. You simply use the ability from Eugenics without having to pay for it as a eugenics mod. It would probably just be a minor power at best.

But I did it with style. You didn't suggest that until your second sentence and who is going to read that far?
