Imperceptibility Power?

I am wondering why there isn't a power like this where it is the ability to be undetectable by any sensory means such as invisibility, intangible, unable to detect one's sound, scent, taste.


If there is, what would their limitations be? Like would the user still be detectable by other sensory means? Or a sufficiently potent sensory user can detect them beyond conventional levels?

Thoughts?

In general, users simply redirect that kind of power to Perception Manipulation (self), or Stealth Mastery.
Okay, so I would think of certain limitations list like the following:

  • Despite having multiple types of stealth or perception concealment, that does not stop the enemies from detecting the user with other perceptions that they do not cover
  • Despite not being able to be sensed by conventional means, a saficiantly powerful enhanced sensory or extrasensory user can detect them.
 
Are you suggering to add those to the Perception Manipulation/Stealth Mastery pages as limitations?

Either way, I personally have issues with listing types of indetection as Perception Manipulation and Stealth Mastery, as the first one involve manipulating someone else perception (when most of the time do not work in that way), and SM is supposed to be the real life variant, like hiding, disgusing and, welp, stealth.

I recall someone suggesting to add that power, but not remember what happened.
 
I get it, it's just that, there are times when I see characters that have some advanced form of stealth, that makes them not only invisible, but completely erase their presence, yet they could still be detected though other means like physical contact, some extrasensory ability, or enhanced senses, it just confuses me as to what the enemy uses to overcome their stealth and such while they have advanced stealth.
 
Yeah, not all kinds of imperceptibility cover all the senses, few just avoid particular kinds of detection, such by touch, smell, sound, vision, psychometry, chi/aura/life-force, etc.
