Emphasis mine. Is this seriously supposed to mean that you can follow somebodies footsteps using thermographic vision? I've always thought of thermographic vision as being more for seeing active heat signatures and the residue of extremely warm things cooling down, such as an engine that has only been turned off for a short time. I would never have thought there was enough heat transfered in normal footsteps (especially if the person is wearing shoes) for there to be any kind of trail to follow. How do you guys play this? Do you allow runners to see the footsteps of people? If so, how long does the heat imprint last? |
