[Open] Heightened Perception Q

[snowflake.]

So what if you had a blind character? Could I purchase Heightened Perception twice, once for smell and once for hearing? Because if the character is blind, then the other senses should be stronger, right?

[Rani]

Even without heightened perception it is totally possible to have a blind cat learn to adapt to blindness and have more honed senses then a non disabled one! Heightened perception would just give you supernaturally strong senses, not like Dovewing level but say able to hear even a whisper all the way across camp or the breathing of a mouse in its den, which can totally be helpful for a blind character, just not necessary.
(An example for smell would be like the ability to scent the emotions of a cat youre talking to or ability to scent things even after they were washed off with water or overpowered with a herb, which is a common tactic ppl use to get away with murders)


As for purchasing the purrks twice to have two senses I vaguely recall a staff member saying it was cool but Id double check as I cannot remember who said that or find a screenshot.


Hope that helps a bit!

If you find out if a staff member said that for certain, I'ma throw hands with them!

We don't allow the same purrks to stack on the same cat - each Purrk needs to be unique!!!!

hey!!

So a lot of people / animals with disabilities normally have other senses a bit stronger to adapt with the loss of one!! Take me for example. I lost my hearing but i can see very well and feel vibrations pretty well, and that doesnt apply to just deafness!

due to that, i think that cats would be the same, and the other senses would get a bit stronger (just not as strong as w/ heightened perception) with the loss of one!!! (staff check me if im wrong but from experience -1 sense the other senses heighten to adapt)
