Legacy Power: See-4

Suck a fat dick

A 2 Gift Warding Power used by Ellis McGruber, created by BobDylan530.

Description

Ellis has such a strong connection with his Bonded explosives that he can see through what would be their eyes, if they were people. Which they aren't. Bombs are just objects... At any rate, in order to see details around his frie...bomb, Ellis will have to devote his full attention to monitoring the ward, making him vulnerable. However, he will also be alerted should any beings cross over the perimeter of one of his wards (if he's not too distracted to notice the alert).

In order to use a bomb as a ward, Ellis must first have performed the Ritual of Bomb Bonding with this particular explosive. This ritual lasts three minutes, and involves a complex geometric dance. During the ritual, the bomb will detonate and then immediately piece itself back together several times, imbuing a small fragment of Ellis' soul within it. No damage will be dealt to anything, but anything within a 3 meter radius that is flammable might appear slightly singed. Once a bomb is Bonded, it will remain that way until it is destroyed.

System

Spend an Action and Exert your Mind to place down an explosive (which has gone through the Ritual of Bomb Bonding) as a Ward. You may have at most 20 wards running concurrently, but they can be moved to new locations. You can see, but not hear, through the Ward as though you were standing at its location.

The Ward requires your full attention to monitor, and it can be detected and destroyed through mundane means. You also may make a Perception + Alertness roll to notice anyone passing within 20 feet of the ward even when your attention is not focused on it.

You may use a single power as if you were standing at your ward's location, after which the ward is destroyed.


Enhancements

  • Monitoring (In addition to Concentrating to monitor, you may declare that you are watching for a particular condition. If this condition occurs in your ward, you may roll Perception + Alertness to notice it, even if you are not actively monitoring at the time.)
  • Place of Power (You may activate a single Effect through your ward as though you were standing at its location. Doing so destroys the ward.)
  • Movable (You may attach your Ward to an Object that can be moved and repositioned.)
    • None - Bomb

Drawbacks

  • Conditional (This Effect is only available when a certain condition is met. This condition must be severe enough that this Gift is unusable the majority of the time.)
    • Condition - Bombs used for wards must have had the Ritual of Bomb Bonding performed on them
  • Dull Senses (You have access to one fewer sense through your Ward.)
    • Restricted Sense - Hearing
  • Focus (Using this Effect requires a specific kind of item.)
    • Object - Bomb

Parameters

Maximum Active: 3 ( 20 )
