Perception (abbr. Per)-- This determines how perceptive your character is. 
It's based on one's peripheral vision, ability to process information, and
how finely tuned one's senses are.  
        HIGH PER = Can hear people coming from down the street.
                Example:  Sherlock Holmes.
        LOW PER = Easily startled, misses obvious clues.
                Example:  A rock.
NEGATIVE PER EFFECT: Beings with negative Perception go permanently blind.
