  • Sensory Overload
rdfs:comment
  • Sensory Overload was an Ee mental power, and part of the mental skills category. This skill allowed Ee to overload the senses of a target with influxes of sights, sounds, tastes, noises, and physical stimuli. The resulting overload caused the target to pass out.
  • One strategy for disabling someone without permanently incapacitating them is to debilitate them by overloading their senses. In some cases, an intensely bright light or loud noise is just as effective as a Tap on the Head, and can allow easy capture. If that fails, it's another form of Look Behind You!, without having to actually talk to the opponent. See also Poke in the Third Eye and First Time Feeling. Compare Sense Loss Sadness. Examples of Sensory Overload include:

This is a common tactic against those with Super Senses because it turns a strength into a weakness. Technology or magic may grant Badass Normals super-human senses that can be exploited this way. Used against a machine, this often results in Readings Are Off the Scale. In a Video Game, this is likely to be represented as an Interface Screw of some sort.
