Object Reading

Effect

Object reading is the ability to detect psychic impressions left on an object by its previous owner, including his race, sex, age, and alignment. The power can also reveal how the owner came to possess the item, as well as how he lost it. The amount of information gained depends on the result of the power check. If the psionicist's power check is successful, he learns the information listed beside that result in the table below, plus all the information listed above it.

Power Check	Result Information Gained
1-2	Last owner's race
3	Last owner's sex
4	Last owner's age
5	Last owner's alignment
6-7	How last owner gained and lsot item
8+	All this information about all owners

An object can be read only once per experience level of the psionicist; additional readings at that level reveal no additional information. When the clairvoyant gains a new experience level, he can try reading the same object again, even if his object reading score has not changed.
Power Score - The psionicist automatically learns all information on the table above.
20 - The psionicist becomes obsessed with the object; he strives to keep it until he can attempt to read it again.
