The Expositor

You are the perfect spy. If you spend a few minutes observing a target, you feel a mysterious whisper in your mind that communicates a single, specific weakness or vulnerability of theirs. Most of the time it will be one or two words (never more than seven), and could be as cryptic as ‘My Dear Emily’ but it will be an incredible personal and powerful word to them. This of course could get you in incredible trouble were they to know what you know. You have no idea who or what is granting you this insight, but it has both helped and hindered you in the past. You actively struggle to resist the arrogance that comes with such knowledge, and often it is your downfall.

Long Description: You can look at an individual and determine certain weaknesses that plagues them. It does not always have to be their greatest weakness, but a weakness, certainly, often something they hold dear that could be used against them. The information is limited to a specific word or phrase in relation to this vulnerability, and it could be rather cryptic. If you want to get more specific, you have to have consumed their blood in the recent hour.

However, if you spend at least ten minutes in the presence of another and activate your power properly, you can discover which is their own personal, greatest weakness. You learn this in a vague sense, and it comes to you almost like a scent; you don’t know how you know, you just do. Older, more paranoid vampires might send only neonates to deal with you, or keep their distance. It might not be long before someone decides you know too much altogether.

Mechanics: To use your power passively just look at whoever you are talking to and say "Off-game, Human Power: The Expositor BUT I am not activating the big one. Just aiming to learn a general weakness of your character, can be in their personality or something they hold dear that is a vulnerability of theirs... etc." Tell them to think of a phrase or a word, but the answer should not be more than seven words.

To activate the "extreme" use of your power you must have been in a conversation with them for at least ten minutes - in a mixed group still counts as long as you are both interacting. Say "Off-game, Human Power: The Expositor, full power" and ask them to describe their character's single greatest point of weakness or vulnerability. They are not limited to seven words in this, and should be as clear as possible.
