A person who is astrally projecting (PWAP)'s body is asleep; it lies on
the ground like the proverbial sack of potatoes. For someone just assensing,
They have the +2 mod you noted below. You could either have a Perception
test to notice if someone was assensing or roll if the assensing mage
blows one of his tasks because of the modifier.

Also, both states of being are discernable astrally.

You see both. Have you ever seen two video images mixed together on TV,
either accidentally or for effect? Same thing. Or, for an audio analogy, try
listening to two songs at the same time.
