==Notice==

The Notice skill involves just that—noticing things. It’s a counterpart to Experiment, representing a character’s overall perception, ability to pick out details at a glance, and other powers of observation.

'''Potential Uses:''' Avoiding ambush, looking for details that stick out, examining a location for clues, observing things from very far away, looking for patterns

===Actions===
* '''Overcome:'''Notice is used in a reactive way: noticing something in a scene, hearing a faint sound, spotting the concealed gun in that guy’s waistband.
* '''Advantage:'''You use Notice to create aspects based on direct observation—looking over a room for details that stand out, finding an escape route in a debris-filled building, noticing someone sticking out in a crowd, etc. When you’re watching people, Notice can tell you what’s going on with them externally; for internal changes, see Empathy. You might also use Notice to declare that your character spots something you can use to your advantage in a situation, such as a convenient Escape Route when you’re trying to get out of a building, or a Subtle Weakness in the enemy’s line of defense. 
* '''Discover:'''Notice is the on-the-scene investigator’s best friend. You use it to justify uncovering clues and questions based off of observation. You can roll Notice to create free invokes on clues so you can ask more questions. Notice is a passive ability and something that happens quickly. Once it becomes an active process of testing out ideas, you’ve moved into territory for Experiment instead.
* '''Sample Questions:'''
** What detail is the most out of place?
** Where would something be hidden here?
** What here is dangerous?

===Example stunts===

'''Danger Sense.''' You have an almost preternatural capacity for detecting danger. Your Notice skill works unimpeded by conditions like total concealment, darkness, or other sensory impairments in situations where someone or something intends to harm you.

'''Body Language Reader.''' You can use Notice in place of Empathy to learn the aspects of a target through observation.

'''Eavesdropper.''' On a successful Notice roll to create an advantage by eavesdropping on a conversation, you can discover or create one additional detail or aspect (though this doesn’t give you an extra free invocation).
