  More About Smell 
   Smells are atmosphere or water-borne volatile chemicals and 
  biochemicals. 
  Smell-2 
   
  THE DETAILS OF SMELL 
   The characteristic smell of a Scent consists of its Primary Smell, an Overtone, 
  and a Nuance (together PON). Taken together, these three digits define the smell 
  of a Scent and how it is perceived by the individual. 
   A Scent is a characteristic of the substance that emits it. The Scent of a chemical 
  or being indicates that the chemical or being is present (or was recently present). 
   The Racial Characteristic Scent. Each Race has its own characteristic Scent 
  (as indicated on the Being Creation Card and on the Character Card) expressed a 
  PON. Beings of the Race emit (in greater or lesser amounts) a characteristic Scent 
  with the same initial PON. The Scent is further refined by the individual. All 
  members of a specific Gender emit the same G; if there is caste, those of the same 
  caste emit the same C (otherwise the C emitted is random). Individuals emitting 
  pheromones emit them as E (otherwise, the E emitted is random). 
   Intensity. A scent has a base Intensity at its origin, and reduces in strength with 
  distance from its origin (usually 1 level per 1 or 2 Range Bands). 
   
  Identifier 
   Most Scents have no effect other than as a marker. Some have specific effects. 
   Gender Identifier. Each Race includes in its definition Gender Identifiers for 
  each Gender. When the Smell of a Scent has been identified, the individual also 
  knows the Gender Identifier (if present and applicable). 
   Caste Identifier. Each Race includes in its definition Caste Identifiers for each 
  Caste (if the Race has Caste). When the Smell of a Scent has been identified, the 
  individual also knows the Caste Identifier (if present and applicable). 
   If the Race does not have Caste, this digit has no apparent or obvious meaning. 
   
  Substance Effects 
   The substance which a Scent identifies may have its own effects (which are 
  independent of the Scent). For example, the Scent of smoke indicates a fire 
  nearby. These effects are independent of the Scent. 
   
  Respiratory Effects 
   A Scent with a numeric GC (any numbers from 01 through 99) has a negative 
  respiratory effect when breathed, and equal to 1 hit per digit times Intensity. 
  Intensity-1 scent ABC-95A inflicts Poison-2. Intensity-5 scent ABC-00K inflicts 
  Poison-10. 
   
  PSEUDOMONES 
   Some Scents may mimic Pheromones based on similarities in the PON.  
   Strong Pseudomone. A Scent PON with the same three Digits (in any order) as 
  the Racial PON. For Race PON= ABC, BCA and BAC are Strong Pseudomones). 
   Equivalent Pseudomone. A Scent PON with two of its Digits the same (in any 
  order) as the Racial PON. For Race ABC, AYC and C4B are Equivalent 
  Pseudomones. 
   Faint Pseudomones. A Scent PON with two identical digits which are contained 
  in the Racial PON. For Race PON= ABC, AAT and CCN are Faint Pseudomones. 
   
  Pseudomone Effects 
   A Pseudomone takes its effect from the sixth digit E regardless of other digits in 
  GCE (see the Pheromone table). Equivalent operates at full strength; Strong 
  operates at Double Strength; Faint operates a Half Strenth. 
  PHEROMONES 
   A variety of pheromones exist, 
  although they are not necessarily 
  produced by individuals. 
   The Pheromone Marker. A Scent 
  with a Racial PON and GC=00 is a 
  pheromone with an effect determined 
  by E below. It exerts its effects only on 
  the race identified by PON.
