Legacy Power: Aversion

Not all motivations stem from positive forces. Sometimes a stick is stronger than a carrot.

A 1 Gift Suggestion Power used by Victor Vale, created by LiteraryAdventures.

Description

Victor presses on the pain centers of his target as he engages them in a discussion.

He reiterates the importance of following his suggestion while slowly amplifying the sensation of pain.

System

Spend a point of Pain, spend an Action issuing your Suggestion to your target, and make a roll (Charisma + Medicine); if you succeed, the target will follow your command for Outcome in minutes. The target may resist by rolling their Mind. The complexity of your command is capped at Conditional commands (If X, then Y) and cannot be obviously self-endangering, destructive, or in violation of the target's morality.


Drawbacks

  • Double-cross (The target informs anyone whom they see that they were sent by you.)
  • Useful Idiot (Target seems obviously mind-controlled for the duration or when acting on commands.)

Parameters

Complexity: 2 ( Conditional commands (If X, then Y) ) Duration: 2 ( Outcome in minutes )
