Discriminatory Taste

10 points

This talent functions in most ways like Discriminatory Smell, but enhances the sense of taste instead, so tracking is not possible. You must ingest a small quantity of the material to be examined; for a living subject, this means bodily fluids. This gives you an IQ roll to recognize the taste, identify whether a substance is safe to eat, etc. You can perform a detailed "analysis" with a roll against a suitable skill (Chemistry, Cooking, Pharmacy, Poisons...). You get +4 (in addition to any Acute Taste and Smell bonuses) on any task that utilizes the sense of taste.
