Scan Perception -> Extra Sensory
Scanning abilities allow you to supernaturally know the powers, strengths, weakness, and other effects of a target. There are a diverse set of styles to the Scan ability, and examples are given below this section. NOTE: These are all defended against as though they are mental status effects; you are rolling vs. their Mental Status Resistance. Scan fooling would fall under Illusion -> Extra Sensory.
Range, Area of Effect, Duration
See the general rules for ability point costs for Range, Area, and Duration. Unfocused areas would be the most common, as scanning your own allies is not harmful.
