Spot Habit involves noticing behavioral patterns or signals that reveal a person's true intentions, particularly in situations involving deception or negotiation. Classically known from poker, but very useful in other stressing situations.
Opposed roll: 1d100 against target's d100 + presence.
In combat, Spot Habit lets you predict if an opponent will reuse a previously seen attack or skill. For each prior use of that maneuver, add +20 to your roll. If successful, you are forewarned and can prepare defenses or reactions accordingly.
+/- 10 DR – Target is calm or well-trained - bonus if opppsiite.
+/- 15 DR – You’re in a time-constrained or high-pressure situation - bonus if opposite
+/- 20 DR – You have little or no prior exposure to the target - bonus if opposite
When used correctly, Spot Habit allows you to connect subtle cues with likely actions or intentions. You can apply the success rate from this roll as a bonus to related skill checks like Detect Lie, Insight, or even Combat Prediction in a tense scenario. This makes it powerful in interrogation, negotiation, and psychological duels.
