Legacy Power: Please Just Stay Put

“It’s kind of like Ghost Rider...”

A 1 Gift Restrict Power used by Kody Creighton, created by lumiq.

Description

Kody takes out a lighter and simply flicks it. As he does, instead of the flame appearing where it should, it starts at the solar plexus of the target and multiplies around them. The flames connect into chains of ethereal orange fire, holding the target in place, binding limb and torso.

System

Spend an Action, Exert your Mind, and roll [[activation-roll]] to Restrict a target within Arm's Reach. The target may contest this by rolling [[defensive-roll]]. Success fixes the target in place at their location, although they still can move their arms, use Powers, etc.

The target may attempt to break free by making an attack against their bonds at +1 difficulty. Breaking the binding requires an amount of damage equal to double the initial Outcome. Damage from multiple attacks is cumulative and stacks linearly. Other individuals may also damage the binding by attacking it at +1 difficulty.


Enhancements

  • Encase (If the Contested Outcome is higher than the target’s Brawn, they are encased and cannot take any physical Actions other than attempting to escape until they break free.)
    • None - Dexterity + Brawn

  • Ethereal Chains (The binding affects intangible targets like ghosts and can no longer be attacked physically. Instead, a restricted target may roll Mind at Difficulty 7 to attempt to escape the binding.)

Drawbacks

  • Caltrops (Restricted targets may escape their binding by spending an Action and taking a Severity-1 Injury. Their movement is reduced by 10 feet until the Injury heals.)
  • Focus (Using this Effect requires a specific kind of item.)
    • Object - Handheld lighter

Parameters

Range: 0 ( Arm's Reach )
