Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: None
In this degenerate time, the Lawgivers depend on a preternatural sense for danger. This Charm guarantees success on any valid Awareness roll to notice immediate mortal danger. This Charm works whether in or out of battle, awake or asleep. If the Exalt has a chance to notice a surprise attack during a prolonged struggle, a dart blown at him in the jungle, an invisible opponent or a cleverly concealed pit, he does so.
If the Exalt's player must make such a roll and has a chance of failing it, and if the Solar can invoke this Charm, this Charm invokes itself automatically. At that time, if the player has a Combo containing this Charm, he may declare the use of that Combo instead of just the Surprise Anticipation Method Charm. (They can create a Combo on the fly. See Combos.)
Surprise Anticipation Method does not invoke itself if the character has already used his Charm for the action, if the character does not have any motes of Essence, if the character is Inactive and cannot become active, if the character is already certain to succeed on the Awareness roll or if the character cannot normally attempt an Awareness roll.

Prerequisite Charms: None
Having died once, few Abyssals want to make another attempt. Knowledge of this Charm expands an Abyssal's contact with the Whispers of the Neverborn, filling her mind with a gloating hiss whenever she faces immediate mortal peril. This momentary warning identifies the threat and suffices to warn her of an incoming unexpected attack, to avoid sipping from a poisoned goblet or to otherwise circumvent death by taking a single critical action. She must have some remote possibility of detecting the threat on her own or she fails to understand the warning in time for it to help her. Moreover, this Charm does not function while the Abyssal has more points of accumulated Resonance than (10 – Essence rating).
