Stop me if theres already something like this in Mutant Experiance but my copy is still in the post.
In anticipation of getting my hands on the gribbly book of Mutant treason I tried to think of the worst possible mutation an unfortunate Troubleshooter could have. Then it dawned on me. Sense Treason.
The Computer noticed that quite a few mutants were appearing in the Registration beuraus with a Detect Mutant power. Utilising R&Ds experties on mutant phenomina it aranged secretly to develop a varient of this power with the aim of detecting treason by passive empathic scaning. Unfortunately with the amount of treasonous thoughts in the average citizen the test subjects were rather prone to mental overload so the project was abandoned. However an FCCC-P agent on the research team managed to introduce a sample of the mutation into the genetic mixers. Now potentially anyone can be born with Sense Treason.
Style: Classic/Straight (Did anyone else think it was odd that Detect Mutant is Classic only? I don't think its too far fetched for Straight its not Growth or insubstantiability)
Effect: If the character concentrates for a full round and makes a successful power roll he gains a vague idea of the direction of the most treasonous impulses in the vicinity. Only on the roll of a 4 or less does he know what kind of treason it is and only on a natural 1 is he sure of who the Traitor is. Failure results in a mental breakdown whereby the character shouts out all of the treasonous thoughts of every character within about 5 yards whilst flailing madly. If this wasn't bad enough on a natural 20 he starts singing the Internationale!
