OPT-IN: SUPERNATURAL AFFINITY

From Ghost's app:

As Rydia FinalFantasyIV can attest, you don't spend ten years in the Feymarch without making some friends along the way. Though Ghost is not strictly speaking a user of magic herself, she has had a variety of supernatural wards and blessings placed on her over the years. She is attuned to the supernatural in the form of a sort of psychic radar (think similar in nature to a Spidey Sense but operating mostly on nonspecific Vibes™) and has relationships with a variety of supernatural institutions that afford her a level of protection — though she is not immune from the trickery of the Fae or of getting a spell cast on her by a witch or having a fuath try to drown her, she carries something not unlike Fantasy Diplomatic Immunity™ with many of the more common varieties, and has had their respective acknowledgements of that fact placed upon her as a result.

This is largely a passive "ability" so I would say that, appropriate for a DWRP, supernaturally-inclined player characters could choose for themselves the level at which they wanted to recognize (or reject!) Ghost's Fantasy Diplomatic Immunityâ„¢, NPCs would of course not be beholden to it at all without specific mod confirmation that it might have that effect (and to what degree), and in general she would simply have an awareness of Vibes as appropriate and with player consent to produce interesting CR hooks.

If you would be interested in having Ghost pick up something about your supernaturally-inclined character, or conversely you'd be interested in having them Vibe™ with the various wards and blessings that have been placed on her, please comment here to let me know! This ability is rooted in the idea that Ghost works with a variety of fantasy races and supernatural creatures who have recognized her as a neutral party and afford her a given level of personal leeway (like an ambassador or a diplomat), so I'm happy to work with whatever you think would be fun for CR purposes!

Note that Ghost's default will be no vibes unless a player has specifically opted in for their character!
