By coincidence the character I'm making has the virtue... But I still dont think it'll justify him hearing heartbeats, even if he has a Per+Awaness Total (when it comes to hearing) of 8 in spite of only being a 12-year old apprentice (both his Perception and Awareness scores are bound to increase).
Cheers for the link, Sunken. I actually read through all the short description but didnt look much at the actual animals. A mole seems so obvious - thanks for reminding me. Now I can't help start wondering what MuCo (An) "Ears of the Blind Mole" spell could do.
For clarity's sake I'd better add that since I started considering this character concept last year I've now actually moved quite close to a final result (though as an apprentice and still not blind many of the notions havent been introduced yet). I seems I'll play the character in the online game initiated in this thread and the draft version of the character can be found here.
