So the easy stuff out of the way: the Effects field needs to have mechanical effects, the descriptive ones go in the Description field. Also, skill point costs are negative if the skill helps you and positive if it hinders you (so you gain more to spend on other skills that will help you later). 

 

More complex stuff now, there's a handful of ways to represent this kind of skill: 

• For example, the Inuzuka have a skill on this page (Scent Tracker) that weakens and ignores debuffs. 
• You can create a skill that gives you a boost to the Perception roleplay trait, as well as a minor secondary bonus. (Rinha Diplomacy and One With the Mist)
• Something that works similarly to or functions alongside Path of the Sensor, or even allows you to choose it regardless of your base path, could also be acceptable.
• Something involving critical hit rate or damage, or maybe even just a boost to Accuracy if certain triggers are met.
• Perhaps even a travel word reduction boost?

And I'm sure there are many other potential options! We'll help you build it after you decide which direction you'd like to take this.
