Legacy Power: Boots of the Aerians

The boots of a King

A 1 Gift Super Leap Power used by Edward Grimm, created by Lerinyth.

Description

A pair of black leather and metal boots I wear grant me a special power.
I brace my knees and my boots start to glow, and I dash forwards at inhuman speeds, and leap at the end of it.

System

Spend an Action to jump a maximum of [[jump-distance]].

Landing on horizontal surfaces is easy, but if the landing is precarious, you’ll need to make a Dexterity + Athletics roll to land/grab on safely. You can land safely when falling from twice your vertical height. After that amount, you take damage as normal.

Enhancements

  • Too Slow! (You may activate this Effect as a Reaction.)
  • Fast Jump (You may opt to trade your free movement for a Super Leap if you are jumping less than 50 feet or if you are closing a gap to an opponent and spend your Action on an attack.)
  • Cantrip (Activating this Effect has no Exertion cost, but it can have no more than 3 Drawbacks and its Gift Cost can never be increased above 2.)

Drawbacks

  • Focus (Using this Effect requires a specific kind of item.)
    • Object - Unique Focus
  • Unique Focus (This Power takes the form of a specific, unique item, which can be borrowed, lost, or stolen. You must use / wear this item as intended to use this Power.)
    • Focus - A pair of metal and leather boots
  • No Landing Gear (You can only land safely when falling from a max distance of your vertical height. If you fail your leap, you have no protection from fall damage.)

Parameters

Vertical Jump Distance (in feet): 1 ( 50 feet distance, 10 feet vertical )
