  Awareness 
   Awareness senses electrical 
  and magnetic fields.

  UNDERSTANDING AWARENESS 
   The sense organ for awareness is the nervous system. As 
  a being moves within a field, the nervous system responds to 
  the microcurrents which the field creates, and this information 
  is processed by the brain (in much the way that the skin 
  senses wind or radiant heat). 
   A sophont with the sense of awareness is aware. A 
  sophont without the sense is unaware. 
   Awareness is an analog of Vision. When Awareness 
  functions in association with Vision, the result is a form of 
  Synthetic Vision. The brain maps its sensing of Mag and Lek 
  to a three-dimensional metal visual image.  
   Full Circle Coverage. Awareness functions in all 
  directions. As a result, awareness input is mapped to the 
  beings mental image rather than to the sights seen by the 
  eyes. 
   False Colors. Awareness is mapped to the mental image 
  using mind generated false colors Mag and Lek. They are 
  perceived as transparent colors which do not illuminate or 
  reflect. They are perceived despite intervening objects (more 
  or less). To the extent they are not absorbed or attenuated, 
  they create a kind of xray vision.

   Vision. The Aware Constant for the Race (Human do not 
  have Awareness). Higher numbers are better: a sophont with 
  Aware 20 has better awareness; one with Aware 12 has 
  worse awareness. 
   Benchmark. Object Size minus Range. 
   Mods. Mods based on circumstances from the Master 
  Mods table (as applicable). Higher Mods are better. 
   
  THE AWARENESS CONCEPT 
   The Awareness Action is the referee’s opportunity to 
  present sense information to a character. When the character 
  is trying to sense what he can (“I am trying to sense anything 
  unusual” or “I am concentrating on fields”). 
   The Awareness Action is resolved. Once an object is 
  noticed, the character continues to be aware of it until it 
  moves out of range or somehow becomes hidden.
