Legacy Power: Neuromancy

Pain was a gift Victor knew all too well and was all too willing to share with others.

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

Description

Victor focuses his gaze and splays out his fingers. A static field emerges around the target and emits a faint, high-pitched hum. The target's muscles freeze up as its neurotransmitters fail to send the proper signals.

System

Choose a target within 45 feet, spend an Action, take a one-point injury, and make a roll, determined at Power creation [perception + medicine], difficulty 4 plus the target's rating in Wits. They may always contest by rolling Mind, difficulty 6. If the Outcome is in your favor, the target is stunned for [[duration-outcome]].

The target may be awoken from the stun early if they are significantly jarred, such as by taking damage or being splashed with cold water.

Drawbacks

  • 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.)
  • Critical Failure (Roll a single D10 when you activate this Effect. If you roll a 1, you critically fail in a way that is extraordinarily dangerous. Failure should cause at least a Severity-4 Injury, a Major Battle Scar, or an effect counter to its purpose.)
    • Critical Failure effect - Hits all allies within the range

Parameters

Duration: 2 ( 3 rounds ) Range: 1 ( 45 feet )
