Legacy Power: Horrible Regret

"Why?"

A 6 Gift Traumatize Power used by Terry Buckworth, created by ShadyTradesman.

Description

Those who attack a being as pure as Terry find themselves regretting their decision, changing their mind mid-attack, and forever abhorring violence.

System

Choose a Sapient target within 20 feet and Exert your Mind. Your target must make a Trauma roll (Mind, Difficulty 8). If they fail, they acquire a new Trauma, chosen by the GM, and take 1 point of Mind damage. This Trauma may be removed by Powers or mundane therapy as per the normal rules.

Your target is aware that they are being attacked and can usually determine you are the one doing it. (Generally, this is folded into the Power's flavor and Description.)

If your target is incapacitated, they automatically fail their Trauma roll.


Enhancements

  • Wish you Were Here (Targets that receive a new Trauma are aware that you are interacting with them but they do not view it as an attack or view the resulting Trauma as malicious. If their Trauma is treated, they will be able to see the reality of the situation.)
  • Soul Twist (The target loses your Contested Outcome in Source. Once their Source is depleted, excess Outcome is applied as Mind Damage. They receive a new Trauma if and only if you deal at least 3 Mind damage.)
    • None - Charisma + Influence

  • Right in the Childhood (The defender's Trauma roll is made at -3 dice.)
  • Triggered (You cannot manually activate this Effect. Instead, choose a triggering event, always outside your control, that activates this Effect without requiring an Action or Exertion cost from you.)
    • Triggering Event - Target injures Terry, dealing at least a severity-2 Injury or looks upon the injury up close. One per injury

Drawbacks

  • Out of Control (Traumas caused by this Effect are selected by the GM according to its flavor and circumstances, not by you.)
    • None - Phobia of violence

Parameters

Range: 1 ( 20 feet )
