"Aw Bruno, C'mon, You know I never forget a face."
You have a the ability to memorize things via disparate forms of sensory input. Perhaps your character is a professional "Nose" in the perfume industry or has the weird ability to recall perfectly any song he's heard once. While you may not be eidetic like a stalwart can be, you might have the ability to vividly recall the scores of every cubs game ever played. Maybe you can identify wines by taste or you can reassemble a bolt action rifle in the dark. It's up to you.
System: The Daredevil player must choose a sense that is affected and typically, they ought to choose a body of sensory knowledge that they are well versed in. It's not out of line for a character to choose a particular field to devote himself to the study of. (like Sherlock Holmes did with his study of tobacco's) and this knack may be purchased multiple times to indicate a character who has honed his sensory apparatus to a razor's edge. When using the sense in question the daredevil may add his Reflective facet as additional dice to any Perception or Intelligence rolls involving the use of that sense.
Example: Randall Kramer has found his best friend murdered in the parlor. Taking in the scene of the crime as the police are arriving, He detects a slight aroma. Moving closer to the body he sniffs his friend's neck and with a successful Int+Style Check. Identifies the aroma as a mix of Jasmine and Honeysuckle...In a heartbeat's time he remember's that same scent was worn by Madame Wu's assassin, the Jade Dagger! He begins scanning the room for an Asian woman of about shoulder height and the hunt is on.
Prerequisite: The Daredevil must have a three or better in the skill he wishes to apply sense memory to. A person desiring a sense memory of music must have 3 or better in Performance. Many smell and taste fields fall under Style or Investigation by default.
