With just a few seconds of concentration, the character can commit something to memory to be instantly recalled when needed. People with this trait rarely have problems passing exams, and can remember exact lines from books.
The Photographic Memory trait can be used in a couple of different ways. If the character knows they’re going to have to remember something at a later time, such as the combination to a lock or the instructions to program a computer, they can spend a moment to take the information in and commit it to memory. If they want to recall the information, they can without having to roll, but they must have declared that they’ve taken the time to concentrate and remember it at the time. Similarly, if they want to remember something that they haven’t actively committed to memory, there’s a chance it may be stored in there somewhere along with last week’s shopping list or what time that film is on they wanted to watch. To recall something vital that they may have only glanced at or possibly missed altogether, you can spend a Story Point.
Cannot be taken with the Forgetful Bad Trait.
