Total Carnage "RARGHYLBARGHYLL!!!"

1
Requires Seasoned
The power to cause a destructive blast of damage in an area.
Used by Edgar Stokes, Created by Strazhari.
(Anyone who witnesses you activate this Effect is very likely to be disturbed to see Edgar's skin split like a rotten fruit, erupting with lashing tendrils, flaming ichor, & the screaming faces of the dead. )

When in the throes of a Mutation episode, Edgar will occasionally burst, erupting as nightmare made flesh: injuries inflicted by this event tend to be burns from flaming ichor, lashing from barbed tendrils, or the bites of the maddened dead that he has previously consumed. This event can go on for the duration of the Mutation episode, though is generally short-lived, with the various pseudopods expending their energy quickly before crawling off to die.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action to activate. This Effect cannot be used unless Alternate Form is active. The area within 10 feet of you immediately and obviously becomes imminently dangerous. Roll Brawn + Brawl at Difficulty 6. Targets inside the radius may attempt an appropriate Reaction at GM’s discretion. Finding a physical barrier to use as cover will cut total damage taken in half (applies after Reaction roll but before Armor).

If the Outcome is positive, your blast hits everything within 10 feet of you with Damage equal to your Outcome + 2. fully effective If you botched the activation roll, you will also take full damage from the blast, otherwise it will not hurt you.

For the next 3 Rounds following the initial blast, this Effect will deal a new blast of damage to any targets remaining within range of you. The damage decays by 2 each Round.

If you successfully hit a target with this Effect, the value of any Armor they are wearing is reduced by 2. This penalty lasts until the armor is repaired.

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see Edgar's skin split like a rotten fruit, erupting with lashing tendrils, flaming ichor, & the screaming faces of the dead.

When you activate this Effect, roll a single D10. if the result is 5 or lower, you receive a Severity-1 Injury and a Minor Battle Scar.

  • Any visual cues from the initial blast which indicate imminent danger will remain in place during the following three waves of new blasts.
  • When narrating disturbing content, be cognizant of your group's tone and accommodating to those who would like to "fast forward" through the description.
  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
