MET LARP SRD

The Nagaraja are experts at studying murder scenes and tracking down the perpetrators of the crimes they investigate. By spending three standard actions studying a murder scene, you may utilize a special Tracking ability to hunt and pursue the killer (or killers) without the requirement of Heightened Senses, the abilities of Shape of the Beast, or the need to sniff or track by scent. Your skill in tracking killers is innate and involves a complex and a supernatural affinity akin to forensic science. To track a target murderer, you may employ your Mental attribute + Occult skill instead of the normal Mental attribute + Survival skill for any tracking challenges. You may utilize this specialized tracking skill only against the murderer or murderers of your discovered crime scene. Unlike normal tracking challenges, you are not limited to tracking killers travelling by foot and do not lose the trail if your target crosses water or gets into a vehicle, nor can your target utilize the Streetwise skill to evade pursuit. The Storyteller is the final arbiter of whether or not a character can be tracked by your knowledge of forensics. 

In addition, your skills in the mundane sciences involving murder scenes and forensics are unparalleled in the vampire community. You can assign 9 total dots between the following skills and backgrounds: Allies, Contacts, Influence (Underworld or Elite), Medicine, Science (Forensics). This is done by assigning 4 dots to one choice, 3 dots to the next, and 2 dots to the final choice. 

If you choose Allies, Contacts, or Influence, you must choose specializations involving people or groups involved with murder investigations such as police officers, medical examiners, etc. The dots granted by this merit do not require you to spend XP to purchase. If you previously purchased dots in an applicable background, the XP is refunded. If you assigned dots during character creation to an applicable background, you may move those dots to another background in which you currently have no points.
