A magical scanner and psychic projector connected to
sophisticated 3D mapping software, an infiltration assistant can
create sophisticated representational maps of an area you’re
in. You wear the scanner on your head or headwear, wirelessly
connected to your comm unit or eyewear. The assistant counts
as a worn magic item unless you install it in your armor, taking
up one upgrade slot.
As a move action while wearing the assistant, you can cause
the device to magically ping an area within a 60-foot spherical
spread of you. Using this ping, the software creates a 3D
reconstruction of the area, which it psychically projects to you
and all creatures you consider allies in the affected area. This
image adjusts to show each creature where it is in the image.
The ping doesn’t sense through most objects, but it can sense
through a closed door or window that isn’t airtight, hidden, or
otherwise sealed. However, any starmetal in the structure of
the door or window blocks this benefit. The ping can detect
creatures and objects beyond your line of sight and places them
as features on the map. Images of such creatures and objects
are sometimes distorted, especially if they’re in motion.
The infiltration assistant grants you and your allies in its
area a +5 insight bonus to Perception checks to locate hidden
creatures and doors within the mapped area. The bonus to find
creatures applies only so long as those creatures remain in the
same place.
Creatures with ranks in Mysticism perceive the ping like a
barely audible sound that raises goose bumps, and they can
attempt a DC 25 Mysticism check to determine that something
magical just happened. A creature concentrating on detect
magic can sense the ping as a brief flash of magic, and a creature
benefitting from arcane sight can see the ping as a literal flash
of divination magic.
An infiltration assistant can send out 10 pings per day. Each
psychic image it produces lasts 5 rounds. As a move action,
you can save the image on your comm unit or a similar device
for later reference. This static image can provide you a map of
the pinged area later without needing to ping it again, but it
provides no bonus to Perception checks.
Using the assistant creates magical resonance in creatures
that benefit from it. Any creature that benefits from more than
10 pings in a given day experiences visual anomalies, becoming
dazzled until after an uninterrupted 8-hour rest.
