As Clyde is fighting, when surrounded, he proceeds to hit the nearest solid object (including himself) creating a shock wave, shaking and shattering the earth around him, cratering the area within the blast.
When Clyde first started using this power, and to his surprise, he ended up scarring his face in the first blast, completely disfiguring it. A few more times, he did it again, resulting in the same thing, worsening the condition, making it permanent.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. The area within 25 feet of you immediately and obviously becomes imminently dangerous. Roll Brawn + Melee 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 you with Damage equal to your Outcome + 2. If you botched the activation roll, you will also take full Damage from the blast, otherwise it will not hurt you.
Possession of this Power grants the following Battle Scar: Disfigured.
Joseph's voice has always been complimented for being so enchanting and impactful to his audiences, so why not make it literally enchanting? When he sings and makes eye contact with a target, the lyrics of the song he's chosen will spill out of his mouth in glowing golden letters in the air, and Joseph will be able to draw out and manipulate the target's emotions as he so pleases. Anyone who the target interacts with during this may also fall under the spell, as the effect of his voice is just that hard to ignore. However, as all performers know, it's incredibly taxing to maintain such a strong command over a crowd, so for now, Joseph limits his usage of this ability -- after all, it is wise to keep your best performances for the best opportunities possible.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Living target within 45 feet as well as a specific emotion. Roll Charisma + Performance at Difficulty 6. Affected targets can resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 6 -3 dice.
If you succeed, for the next minute, your target will do things they otherwise wouldn’t have done, inspired by the chosen emotion. They will not necessarily display their emotions in an obvious way.
Actions they take will be in keeping with their character and the way they tend to deal with strong emotions. They will be unlikely to change their mind about any actions taken or decisions made until after the Effect ends.
When your target interacts with any valid target, they must roll Self-Control or be swept up in the same emotion. New targets pass it on as well, and so on, with the remaining duration decreasing by half until the chain stops.
While this Effect is active, you are at -2 dice to all Actions and cannot Concentrate.
You may only use this Effect once per day.
The brain slug emits a viscus slime around an injury in efforts to heal it, though the slug's occult nature may accidentally exasperate the injury
Exert your Mind and spend 1 minute. Roll a single D10 as a critical failure check. If you roll a 1, the Effect fails, and you worsens injury. Choose a specific Injury on yourself that has not yet been treated with this Effect and roll Brawn + Occult at Difficulty 6.
If you succeed, the Injury is reduced in Severity by your Outcome. If you reduce its Severity to 0, the Injury is fully healed. Otherwise, it is partially healed and will heal the rest of the way at its natural rate.
This counts as a successful Makeshift Stabilization if the Injury was not already Stabilized; any Battle Scars caused by the Injury will remain.
