+4 Perception to detect ambush; once/day auto-detect one trap or surprise round.
The character is a thread reader who senses Fold-echoes of
fate. The character gains +4 to Perception checks to detect ambushes, traps, hidden enemies, and
surprise attacks. Once per day, as a free action before
initiative is rolled, the character may declare Thread
Reader: if a trap, ambush, or surprise round is about to
occur, the character automatically detects it (no roll
required) and may warn allies with a 1-sentence cryptic
utterance, granting all allies +2 to their next save against
the surprise.
Special: Requires Fold Threshold (Psion archetype or Fold psion) OR the Psionic Gene trait. The auto-detect does not reveal WHAT the threat is, only THAT one exists -- the character receives a vague feeling of wrongness. The +2 to allies' next save is against any save triggered by the threat (e.g., trap Reflex save, mental save vs. surprise power). The character must be conscious and aware to declare the use. Stacks with Precognition power's re-roll mechanic.
