Legacy Power: Mind, Body and Spirit

Da! I am now you!

A 1 Gift Creature Possession Power used by Grigori, created by NeCrowMancer.

Description

By starting with a short prayer, a cold wave will wash over the user, as their body falls limp. The user's mind has transferred itself to the target and his body, while breathing, is cold to the touch, akin to a corpse, clutching onto his rosary beads.

System

Exert yourself, choose a Creature target within 300 feet, and spend an Action activating this Power to possess them. If the Animal is sapient, you must succeed a contested Mind roll, where your Difficulty is 6 and the target's is 7.

The possession lasts for 1 Hour, and you may end it prematurely with a committed Action. During the possession, any rolls that utilize Brawn, Dexterity, or Perception use the creature's Attribute values (determined by the GM) instead of your own. You do not have access to your Powers during the possession.

If you take damage, you are evicted back into your own body. You cannot force your host to take actions which would violate their instinct for self-preservation (which includes engaging in Combat for any purpose other than self-defense or natural hunting); any attempt to do so will sever the connection and send you back into your own body. If you are forced out of the target's body prematurely, you must make a Trauma roll.

If your body was destroyed during the possession, you die if evicted from the host or when this Power ends.

Enhancements

  • Till Death (Taking damage no longer forces you out of your host; only the death or incapacitation of the host can do so.)
  • Fight or Fight (You may override your host's self-preservation in order to engage in combat.)

Drawbacks

  • Focus (Using this Effect requires a specific kind of item.)
    • Object - Rosary Beads
  • Draining (After this Effect ends, you cannot move quicker than a walk (15 feet per Round) for one minute and suffer a -1 dice penalty for an hour.)

Parameters

Range: 2 ( 300 feet ) Duration: 1 ( 1 Hour )
