How much information you can get depends on how many successes you get.
However, for what types of info you can get check page 145 of the Black
Book.

yes

yes

Okay, a short word on one of my house rules regarding Assensing. Anybody
with astral perception can attempt to get basic info. However, more
"essoteric" info, like evil deeds or trying to determine past events from
an aura take special training, hense the Aura Reading skill. Only
characters with astral perception AND this skill can attempt such tasks.
Difficulty is set by the GM based on how obscure the info is, and any
other modifiers the GM thinks relevant. The more success you score, the
more you actually learn. That's it, simple rule, has worked well so far.
