Blackjack

2
A consumable Jack of Clubs that lets you temporarily incapacitate your enemies.
Used by Ethan Waber "Master of Misdirection", Created by Kyota.
(It is obvious you are attacking the target. )

A Jack of Clubs is thrown, as it makes its way towards the target its form shifts into that of a blackjack, a bludgeoning weapon intended for dazing people, just prior to impact. A few moments after impact the blackjack will crumple apart and dissapear.

Spend an Action and use up this Jack of Clubs. Make a Playing Card attack at a Animate target within normal attack range. Roll 7 dice Difficulty 6, penalty does not apply. The target may roll to dodge or defend, as normal for Playing Card attacks. The attack does not deal Damage, but the Effect does.

If you succeed, the target will suffer a dice penalty equal to the Outcome for the next 2 Rounds. Dice pools may be reduced all the way down to 0 by this penalty. This breaks Concentration.

You may Exert your Mind and spend a Reaction to contest an Action someone is taking. Roll your for your attack as normal. Subtract your Outcome from theirs, and they use the Contested Outcome to determine if their Action succeeds.

  • This consumable is destroyed when used and cannot be used again.
  • This Penalty is not removed if a character Exerts their Mind to ignore penalty.
  • If a character has a dice pool reduced to 0, they cannot attempt that action.
  • 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.
