[BNW] PP: Sentinel




The first Sentinel was documented only 10 years ago. 
Originally the type was called a "Tracker" but was changed to Sentinel
when this type was popularized by a short-lived TV show called "The
Sentinel" which featured a Tracker as the main character.
The Sentinel has enhanced senses far beyond any reg. He can hear in both
higher and lower frequencies and at lower dB levels. His sense of smell
approaches that of a bloodhound. His sight is as sharp as an eagle's and
can even see in the dark. His sense of touch and taste are also enhanced
to a lesser degree.
The Sentinels senses are also perfectly integrated. Whereas a blind man
can learn to better utilize his sense of hearing after losing his sight,
the Sentinel does not need to abandon one sense for the improvement of
another.

Powers:
+3 to Tracking, Scrutinize, Search and Perception rolls
Nightvision (as the Sneak PP)

Hinderances:
Light-sensative (as the Sneak PP)

Edges/Flaws:
Sharp Eyes +0
Sharp Ears +0

(Many Sentinels are also Alert and Light Sleepers, but these must be
bought as normal).

Personality:
"Yeah, I've worked for the other side. No, I'm not a Hunter, I'm better.
All those THINGS are good for is tracking down and imprisoning deltas. I'm
more multi-talented.
Every group should have me watching their backs (and fronts, and sides). 
I'm NEVER surprised in a fight and if a target, friend or foe, gets away
I'll find him for you.
So you interested in highering me on? Yeah, I knew you were. How? Simple,
you got a lot of nervous energy, which means you're excited about
something and I noticed a minute ago how you slid your hand off that
shotgun under the table (I could smell the gun oil)..."

Quote:
"Listen... Do you smell something?"

Comments?
Do you think the power level is set right? He gets bonuese to a wide group
of skills, but the bonus is proportionatly lower (+3 instead of +5) and it
is a tight group of related skills.
Do you think he should come with the Alert edge too?
