Tier 8Bonus ActionAt-Will

Sense the Weak Point

Choose one creature, object, or structure you can perceive within range. For the duration, once per turn when you or an ally hits it, the attack deals an extra 3d8 damage, and the attacker ignores half and three-quarters cover if it can still perceive the target.

For the duration, within 120 ft. you perceive invisible, disguised, transformed, ethereal, illusion-veiled, magically silenced, and magically hidden creatures or objects as sensory outlines. This does not reveal thoughts, true names, memories, or distant information.

Tier 10Action1/Long Rest

The Perfect Hunt

Choose one creature, object, trail, scent, voice, pulse, or sensory signature you have personally encountered. For the duration, if it leaves any physical sensory trace on the same plane within 100 miles, you can follow the trail. This does not teleport you or reveal a location with no trail.

Tier 10Action1/Ever

The First Witness

Become mythic witness to a place, hunt, crime, omen, battlefield, truth, or hidden thing. Define its principle with the GM: the witness who cannot be deceived, the hunter who never loses the trail, the sentinel who sees the first danger, or the eye that names the hidden wound. It can be opposed only by Tier 10 concealment, divine intervention, or a story condition set when declared.

Had a meeting with my supervisor and she said that when she pulled my data this morning she realized that the tracker that has been being used in my monthly meetings was set up incorrectly so that since she took over my numbers have been wrong And I basically was like “Well it’s obviously not your fault, since you’re the one that identified it and didn’t make the tracker, but this is a great example of why I’m always so skeptical and vocal about the data and what it represents, especially since similar data has caused me to have bad mid years and end of years before” And she basically was like yeah you’re right
