Legacy Power: Hands of Hephaestus

“No, no, it doesn’t hurt.”

A 4 Gift Unarmed Mastery Power used by Kody Creighton, created by lumiq.

Description

The surface of Kody’s hands is perpetually superheated to the temperature of an average fire, about 1800° F. His hands smoke, smolder, and cause the air around them to refract as it would in extreme heat.

System

Passive, always in effect. Unarmed attacks will do +3 more damage. The target's Armor is fully effective. With the right gloves, you are able to suppress the heat of your hands.

Enhancements

  • Savage Onslaught (Brawn does not act as armor against your unarmed attacks)
  • Armored Fist (You cannot take Damage from attacking a dangerous material (such as steel armor, a spiked carapace, or an acidic blob). You may Defend against melee, projectile, or firearm attacks from any range and Clash with those in range of your attacks.)
  • Bullet Parry (You may use a Reaction to Defend against any Melee, thrown, or projectile Attack in range of your Attacks.)

Drawbacks

  • Monstrous (Possessing this Power causes a mutation that elicits a strong, negative social response from the average person in your setting. The mutation is visible even if you are wearing long sleeves, pants, and shoes. Maximum one per Contractor.)
    • Mutation - Your hands are covered in intense burn scars and constantly smoldering. Your eyes resemble molten glass. Anything you touch is susceptible to flames.

Parameters

Armor Effectiveness: 0 ( Fully Effective ) Additional Damage: 3 ( +3 )
