==== Eye of the Watchful Deity (Descendant Channel) ==== ''The Leviathan may ride the senses of its followers, making use of their eyes and ears to extend its reach and review the world from safety.'' * “Depth 0”: Birthright of Awareness * “Depth 1”: The Leviathan can share the senses of a Beloved within (Sheol x 10) feet, seeing and hearing what they do. The Leviathan is in a trance state (unaware, no Defense) while doing this, and does not independently roll to notice things - he or she merely perceives what the subject does. The Leviathan needs to know the vague direction towards a subject to tap in - they can't guess until they get the correct answer, however. The subject is aware of this effect. It lasts until terminated, until the end of the scene, or until the subject leaves the target area. The Leviathan ''must'' terminate the effect to move and act freely. People who can see into Twilight may be able to see the Leviathan hovering near its target; if the person's awareness is limited to certain kinds of Twilight entities, for Leviathans the relevant trait is the ability to perceive astral projections. * “Depth 2”: As above, but within (Sheol x 10) yards. * “Depth 3”: As above, but within (Sheol x 100) yards. The Leviathan may now expend 1 additional Ichor to target any Mortal or Lahmasu instead of just a Beloved. Targeting an unwilling subject requires a Contested roll (Presence + Investigation + Sheol vs Resolve). In addition to the direction to the subject, the Leviathan must also either know the target's name or be able to see them with the naked (if supernaturally enhanced) eye. * “Depth 4”: As above, but within (Sheol/2) miles. * “Depth 5”: As above, but within (Sheol) miles. * “Depth 6”: As above, but within (Sheol x 10) miles. The Leviathan can expend 3 additional Ichor to target unwilling subjects that are vulnerable to the Wake - this requires an Contested roll (Presence + Investigation + Sheol vs Resolve + Power Trait). The normal restrictions for targeting non-Beloved apply. '''Adaptations''' * Gentle Touch (O) If the Leviathan's Subterfuge + Sheol is greater than the subject's Willpower + Power Trait, they are not aware of being monitored. This does not prevent a subject from resisting if unwilling - in this case the victim, should they be affected, is aware that they were subject to mental assault but is not aware of whether they are still being "hijacked" or not. * Split Focus (OOO): In Depth 3 and below, when the Leviathan taps into the senses of a Beloved they retain awareness of both their surroundings and their subject. The Leviathan may also opt not to use a subject's senses for a while, regaining the ability to act normally, without breaking the connection. * All-Seeing (OOOO, requires Split Focus): At Depth 6, the Leviathan is able to act freely while simultaneously using the senses of a Beloved. * Anointing the Prophet (OOOO): The Leviathan may posses the body of her Beloved to use as her avatar. She uses the Beloved's physical Attributes, but her own Skills, Mental Attributes and Social Attributes. She cannot make use of Channels (even purely psychic Channels) but she can lead rituals, use any Mutations a Beloved possess and she projects her Wake and its associated effects through her avatar. The Leviathan must remain immobile while this power is in effect. * Lidless Eye (OOOOO, requires All-Seeing, Anointing the Prophet, and Sheol 6): In Depth 6 the Leviathan can obtain sensory information about anything within (Sheol x 100) miles of its position. The Lidless Eye pierces all mundane concealment and obstruction, allowing its user to, for example, see a person's internal organs or the inner workings of a safe. Only psychic wards or the Sigil of Marduk can protect against the Leviathan's gaze. When searching for faraway targets, the Leviathan merely needs to succeed on a Presence + Investigation + Sheol roll (opposed by any supernatural concealment affecting its desired target) in order to locate its target, though it can focus on only one subject at a time. In addition, so long as it remains in Apotheosis Form, the user gains (Sheol) automatic successes on any perception rolls related to its immediate environment even when unconscious, making beings with this Adaptation nigh-impossible to surprise. As always the Leviathan is visible in twilight where it's attention is focused. * Visionary Dreams (OO, Requires Anointing the Prophet, Piercing the Veil of Slumber): The Leviathan can make use of Anointing the Prophet while dreaming. The Leviathan faces the usual issues when attempting to split his focus between the Prophet and his own abilities, such as the usual uses of Piercing the Veil of Slumber.
