Limits[]
This ability means that these characters can access any sense through any of their other senses, and would therefore only be incapacitated if they lost all five senses completely. For example, if they were temporarily blinded they'd be able to "hear" sights, and if they were unable to feel anything they could taste the texture instead. It has been shown being used to "see" an invisible person through the other senses.
