Intuition
When all the pieces fall into place and you’re finally able to make sense of things—that is Intuition. As a game mechanic, it’s a way for you to ask the game master (GM) for information they wouldn’t normally offer by themself. You can gain Intuition by:
- Rolling your exact Emotion/Logic or Magic/Tech number,
- Performing the Gain Intuition action and spending 1 XP,
- Trading in Intel on a relevant target, or
- Performing an ability which awards Intuition.
Once you have Intuition, you may ask the GM any question and they must answer truthfully. The answers to your questions will never resolve a situation for you, nor will they reveal something the GM isn’t ready to reveal. Rather, the answers will point you in the right direction if you’re lost or unsure where to go next.
The GM may occasionally ask if you’d like Intuition if they feel that you are lost or struggling with what to do next. You must still spend 1 XP, spend Intel, or use an ability to acquire the Intuition.
