Legacy Power: Odessa's Embrace

The blessing of the goddess!

A 5 Gift Sleep Power used by Vergil Arrior, created by leonvanderblight.

Description

The dream goddess can bring true, restful, sleep to all. Though those who experience her touch at not always the most willing, the goddess is not one to take no for an answer once she's been pointed at a target and her spiritual means are often quite difficult for some to resist. Though after a brief journey to the shrine of tranquility, and with a little help from the heroes sword, Vergil was able to free her from her gemstone prison and now with her freed from the gem the only thing he needs to wield the goddesses power now is a blue rock to remind him of her presence and their connection. Since obtaining Tranquility, he has obtained the ability to manifest this through his sword, a swipe of the blade catching most in it's path and ensuring they find a more peaceful end.

System

Choose an Animate target within 30 feet, Exert your Mind, and roll Charisma + Occult Difficulty 7 as a Committed Action. The target may contest with to dodge or Defend (as for an attack with a thrown weapon) as a Reaction. If you are successful, the target grows drowsy for 3 Rounds and then falls asleep for Outcome x 3 minutes. Unconscious or incapacitated targets cannot contest.

While drowsy, the target's Penalty is increased by 3 for all Actions.

The target falls into a deep sleep, but they may still be awoken by sudden loud noises, being jarred or splashed with water, taking damage, or similar rousing events. They will also awaken before dying of hunger, thirst, or suffocation.


Enhancements

  • Group Therapy (You may target a number of individuals equal to your Charisma rating.)
  • Tiring (When an affected target wakes up, they remain drowsy for the next minute, and suffer a -3 dice penalty. If an affected target successfully resists being put to sleep, they will still become drowsy for the next minute, and will suffer the same penalty)
  • Out Like a Light (Your target can only be awoken by taking Damage or nearing death for lack of air, water, or food.)
  • Concealed (Using this Effect is not obvious. Choose a Tell that occurs only when you use the Effect; if-- and only if-- someone suspects that a Effect was used, they must roll Perception + Alertness, Difficulty 8 to pick up on your Tell.)
    • Tell - His gem glows lightly

Drawbacks

  • Focus (Using this Effect requires a specific kind of item.)
    • Object - A blue rock
  • Biological Psychology (This power only works on Sapient, Living targets)

Parameters

range: 1 ( 30 feet ) Duration: 1 ( Outcome x 3 minutes ) Time to Fall Asleep: 2 ( 3 Rounds )
