Cognizance

Description:

The Psychic Pokemon's Concentration has seeped through the mental connection to its trainer and into the other members of the trainer's team, giving them a better sense of their own abilities.

Usage:

The User gives a +2 bonus to non-Psychic skill checks on its trainer and all of the trainer's Pokemon, including itself. This includes all of its trainer's Trainer Skills, all of its Pokemon colleagues' Skills, and its own non-Psychic Skills. (Passive)

Example:

Alakazam returns to the cave, with its trainer leading the way. Alakazam's trainer instructs Graveler to do a Tracking check to see if the Galvantula nest is still present. Through Alakazam's Cognizance, Graveler has a deeper understanding of Tracking the creatures. It rolls its Tracking check and gets a 7. It then adds 4 from its allocated Skill points, and 2 from Alakazam's Cognizance, resulting in a 13. Graveler turns to its trainer and its partner and nods, sensing the nest.

Notes:

Cognizance is a Level 2 Feat from Concentration.

Cognizance does not affect Psychic skills, even if another Pokemon connected to a Trainer has them.

Cognizance works identically to Concentration in battle situations.

Cognizance does not unlock other Pokemon's Skills. Only Skills that are already accessible get the bonus.
