Effect

On a win, ask a number of questions equal to the margin about the subject's emotional state, blood Resonance, supernatural nature, magical influences, or diablerie within the previous year. Answers are truthful. A critical win can reveal an additional unexpected fact.
A crowd scan instead uses a Difficulty based on crowd size, distractions, and the trait sought. Such a scan identifies the requested trait, not each person's full aura.
