The normal penalty for using both hands at once to perform different tasks (e.g., fighting with a weapon in each hand) is at a +1 difficulty for the "right" hand and a +3 difficulty for the other hand. You have a high degree of off-hand dexterity and can perform tasks with the "wrong" hand at no penalty. The difficulties of all dice rolls that relate to the sense in question (e.g., Perception + Awareness to hear a faint noise, taste poison in food or see an oncoming attacker) are decreased by two. You have exceptionally sharp hearing, smell, vision or taste. For Merits specific to a particular Kith, see Kith-Specific Merits. Some of the more powerful Merits listed may be subject to Storyteller discretion.
