Legacy Power: Hold Still So I Can Fuck You Up

“Have you ever seen Ghost Rider?”

A 1 Gift Restrict Power used by Kody Creighton, created by lumiq.

Description

Range isn’t a bad thing. Don’t get Kody wrong- it can be more effective, it’s easier sometimes, it doesn’t put gaping maws of teeth and acidic drool in your face. But Kody’s best work is hands-on. He needs you to be a little closer…

Kody pulls chains out of his bag, pulling them through his blistered, ungloved hands as they spill out. The heat catches quick; the metal glows red and is slung at the target, wrapping around their body link by link. He smiles and begins to pull.

System

Spend an Action, Exert your Mind, and roll Brawn + Brawl Difficulty 6 to Restrict a target within 20 feet. The target may contest this by rolling to dodge or Defend (as for an attack with a thrown weapon) as a Reaction. Success fixes the target in place at their location, although they still can move their arms, use Powers, etc.

The target may attempt to break free by making an attack against their bonds at +1 difficulty. Breaking the binding requires an amount of damage equal to double the initial Outcome. Damage from multiple attacks is cumulative and stacks linearly. Other individuals may also damage the binding by attacking it at +1 difficulty.


Enhancements

  • Momentum (This Effect pushes or pulls the target back towards a target surface within range and affixes them to that surface, rather than the ground where they stood.)

Drawbacks

  • Focus (Using this Effect requires a specific kind of item.)
    • Object - Chains
  • Sacrifice (Instead of Exerting your Mind or expending Source, activating this Effect gives a Severity-1 Injury that worsens by 1 Severity each time you use an Effect with Sacrifice. This Injury cannot be prevented by any means or healed before 1 day has passed.)

Parameters

Range: 1 ( 20 feet )
