Legacy Power: Sweat Ethic
Tempered with hard work
A 1 Gift Upgrade Power used by Theodore Walt, created by Serpentail.
Description
Theodore spends a minute of intense concentration and exercise with the item he wishes to upgrade. Afterwards he wipes the sweat from his brow and downs a large, very rich protein shake. The hard work put into it supernaturally enhances the item increasing it's power for the next 24 hours and causing it to seem lighter in the hand. The same work is supernaturally taxing on Theodore, causing his muscles to burn and weaken for an hour afterwards.
System
Exert your Mind and work on the target Device for One Minute. It receives 2 extra dice to all actions taken with the intended application. This effect lasts for One Day. Items enhanced in this way have half their normal weight.
This Power cannot be used on Alien technology.
Armor enhanced in this way has it's armor rating increased by 1 and it's penalty reduced by 1.
As always, dice bonuses to the same dice pool do not stack. Instead, the higher bonus is used.
Enhancements
- Compact (When calculating Encumbrance, the upgraded item weighs half its normal weight. If you are upgrading a piece of Armor with the Armorer Enhancement, its Penalty is reduced by 1 to a minimum of 0.)
- Armorer (You may Upgrade a piece of Armor, increasing its Armor rating by half the extra dice amount. If an upgraded shield and armor are both worn, the upgrade bonus does not stack with itself.)
