Bang! Bang! Bang! The thrill of the kill~

2
The power to cause a destructive blast of damage in an area.
Used by Smoldep, Created by athanasynt.
(Anyone who witnesses you activate this Effect is very likely to be disturbed to see it gorily overkill everything in sight as Smoldep grins. You must actively and obviously be using a handgun.)

For a short moment, the handgun Smoldep wields glitches into a spectral neon grenade launcher as she rapid fires shots with glee, the murderous intent gleaming through her eyes. When the grenades go off, she revels in the literal bloodshed as comical amounts of blood and gore explode from the blast radius, the victims seeming like they’ve been hit by a mini-nuke. Smoldep cheerfully licks blood off her face.


Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Location no further than 40 feet from you and in your line of sight. You must actively and obviously use a handgun to activate this Effect. The area within 25 feet of the chosen Location immediately and obviously becomes imminently dangerous. Roll Dexterity + Firearms at Difficulty 6. Targets inside the radius may attempt an appropriate Reaction at GM’s discretion. Finding a physical barrier to use as cover will cut total Damage taken in half (applies after Reaction roll but before Armor).

If the Outcome is positive, your blast hits everything within 25 feet of the chosen Location with Damage equal to your Outcome + 4.

Any flammable Objects within the radius during the blast will catch fire, and any being who takes at least 4 Damage will catch fire. Starting the Round after they caught fire, flaming targets take 2 Damage per Round until the fire is extinguished.

If you successfully hit your target, the value of any Armor they are wearing is reduced by 2. For material armor, this penalty lasts until it is repaired. For intrinsic armor, it lasts until the end of Combat and any relevant wound is healed.

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see it gorily overkill everything in sight as Smoldep grins.
