Keen Senses Technique
- Cost: 3m, 1wp
- Type: Simple
- Duration: One scene
- Mins: Awareness 3, Essence 1
When activating this Charm, the Solar chooses a set of senses: sight, hearing and touch, or taste and smell. The Exalt gains two automatic successes on any check based just on that sense, and their effective range is increased by a factor of ten.
Sensory Acuity Prana
- Cost: 3m
- Type: Simple
- Mins: Awareness 4, Essence 2
- Prereqs: Keen Senses Technique
The Solar makes a single Perception+Awareness roll, and applies the result to each thing within reach of their senses that would warrant a check.
Unswerving Eye Method
- Type: Permanent
- Mins: Awareness 5, Essence 2
- Prereqs: Keen Senses Technique
While Keen Senses (Sight) active, the Solar is automatically aware of any effort to hide from, steal from, or conceal something from their vision. If the feat is undetectable, they are left knowing that something is amiss - but not what it is.
Blink

- Type: Reflexive
- Mins: Awareness 5, Essence 3

By taking a sip or bite, the Solar automatically succeeds at a read intentions roll against someone who has prepared or served food or drink.
Foe-Scenting Method
- Type: Permanent
- Mins: Awareness 4, Essence 2

The Solar is automatically aware of each person within range of their sense of smell and, if the Solar has smelt them before, their identity. This Charm does not reveal where they are.
Unsurpassed Taste And Smell Discipline

- Prereqs: Sensory Acuity Prana
When Keen Senses Technique is used to enhance taste and smell, the Solar gains four automatic successes rather than two.

As long as their subject is moving, the Solar receives no visibility penalties on rolls regarding them.

- Mins: Awareness 5, Essence 2
- Prereqs: Keen Senses Method
An attack enhanced by this Charm may be made against a hidden target that the Solar knows is nearby (treat as having a cover bonus of +4 Defence). If it hits, the target is forced to move, incurring appropriate penalties.
