[QUOTE="jkason, post: 4841795, member: 2710"] I had the same problem trying to figure out the right descriptors for Gavin's pain sense, particularly with Accurate allowing for targeting. Originally I'd been thinking it should be accurate, too, but then realized tracking worked better. I wonder if just leaving Taylor's deomn sense as Tracking would be enough? I mean, I realize that a move speed is associated with tracking, but at some point a hunting dog recognizes the fox is at the top of the hill rather than simply 'in that direction.' Being able to point to someone within range of your normal and super-senses and say "that's the demon" sounds like a reasonable function of Tracking, I'd say, and it's distinguished from Accurate because, while you can say "that guy in the corner is a demon," if said guy turned out the lights, you could tell where he was ('crap, he left the room!' 'He's heading north,' etc) but couldn't aim anything at him other than a generic lob in his direction. And as for Gale, I think it might be reasonable to say that Taylor sensed her on occasion, but never knew for sure who it was / never felt threatened enough to track it down. Since tracking slows you down, I think it's safe to assume tracking requires some level of concentration, which Taylor may not have been expending in Gale's direction. She might have at times discounted the tingle as being due to Gavin's presence, for example, or perhaps decided that a vague 'there's a demon around' feeling was the nature of the increasingly-demonic San Diego and didn't worry about it if there wasn't a clear threat associated with it?
