The Sons of Salem
We swear to secure our people against the wickedness and evil of the invisible world.
We swear to aid the afflicted.
We swear to stay ever vigilant and seek out the abominable witchcrafts committed in this country.
We humbly pray to be blessed by God to hold all those who consort with the Devil accountable. Amen
—Opening and closing prayer for Sons of Salem meetings.
The Sons of Salem is a loosely-organized conservative populist movement in the United States that preaches violent opposition to anything they perceive as witchcraft, demonic, or monstrous.
Blowhard podcaster Ted Gundy and former general of the mercenary group “Hognose,” Roland Rush, founded the movement in 2010 after a series of violent werewolf attacks and unexplained, supernatural murders in Tennessee. Memberships grew quickly, stoked by Ted’s fiery doomsday rhetoric on his podcast "Truth Seekers" and the aspiration of the masculine power embodied by Roland.
Although they speak of duty, honor, and maintaining the “natural order” of things, the Sons of Salem are driven by fear. They collect guns and appear at protests en-masse as a way of easing the all-consuming terror of their powerlessness. At the same time, they have conditioned themselves to respond to fear with “strength” (read: violence).

Defiance Denied
I am absolute
When looking at the target, the users eyes give out a flash and a visible trail of red leaves from them into the target. The intensity of the gaze can be mentally felt, throwing the mind of the target into disarray.

Death Valley bomb
You pick up your opponent and smash them upon the ground using the side of your body, dangerously close to the floor and opponent yourself.

Cubism
Why don't you sit tight while we get things squared away out here.
Yvonnel makes a square shape with her fingers and looks at the Target through it. If she succeeds in activating the Power, her target will be trapped in a technicolor cube. The cube will fall away into many smaller cubes at the end of the duration, ending the effect on the target.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action to activate. Select a target within 20 feet. Roll Perception + Crafts at Difficulty 6. The target may contest by Defending or Dodging.
If you succeed, your target will be restricted at their location by a physical, tangible binding. They cannot move to a new location, and any physical actions they take suffer a dice penalty equal to twice the contested Outcome from the Effect activation, except attempts to escape or break the binding, which only suffer half this penalty.
The binding around a target must be destroyed in order for them to break free. Breaking the binding requires a total amount of damage equal to twice the contested Outcome from the Effect activation. Damage from multiple attacks is cumulative and stacks linearly.
While this Effect is active, you are at -2 dice to all Actions and cannot Concentrate.
You may only use this Effect once per day.
- For entities whose movement could be considered an attack (e.g. a kaiju), the GM may rule that they are merely slowed instead of fully restricted.
- You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
Cosmic Tazer
Using cosmic energy to empower his non-lethal weapons
Marshall Marshall has learned that it is not merely The Great Monkey King that he gains powers from, but from the cosmos itself, including imbuing his non-lethal weapons with the otherworldly power of cosmic lightning. This ability temporarily impeeds the target's chi paths with cosmic energy, slowing or even outright stopping his opponents. His quick reflexes even allow him to shoot this energy to stun an opponent mid-action, making it ineffectual.
(Note, despite the selected skill, this is intended to be used with Non-Lethal Weapon Mastery)

Nebulochaoticism
“Chill out with me for a sec, man. Hold still.”
Angel hefts up a bat or anything similar and swings it from a ways away. Despite the lack of physical contact, the target is struck across the face and put into a pleasant, smiling daze like Angel’s previous default. They may look around or ask questions like “Why am I here again?”.
