6
Requires Seasoned
The power to impair a target's movement.
Used by Bernard Tox, Created by Tsair.
(When activating this Effect, it is obvious you are interacting with the target. )

Bernard's eyes lock onto the target, fixing them in place until they struggle free.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a target within 300 feet. Roll Perception + Alertness at Difficulty 6. the target may resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 7.

If you succeed, your target will be restricted at their location by an intangible, ethereal 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.

Restricted targets may attempt to break the binding and escape by spending an Action and rolling Mind at Difficulty 7. Breaking free requires a total cumulative Outcome of twice the contested Outcome on the Effect activation.

Your bindings affect intangible beings like ghosts.

You may end this Effect prematurely as a Free Action.

  • The penalty from being cocooned does not apply to your rolls to escape the binding, since they are Mind rolls, not physical actions.
  • 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.
  • Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.
