The Watcher of Watchers I always feel like..

1
The power to detect all nearby Beings watching him with malicious intent.
Used by Dominic West, Created by leonvanderblight.
(You must actively and obviously be using A computer.)

Dominic's paranoia has lead to him to develop yet another means of redundant detection that goes beyond the pale of normal reason. By syncing a computer to his personal biometrics he can probe for others watching him by sync'ing to the nanomachines they breathed in through the chemtrails in the air. Once that's done, he knows where they are, and if he tunes it correctly he can even pair with a single watcher outside of range.


Exert your Mind and spend two Actions performing the following ritual: Tapping on the computer to input his specific biometrics and syncing the machine with his personal nanomachines. You must actively and obviously use A computer to activate this Effect. You must maintain Concentration while activating this Effect, and it fails if you are interrupted.

You automatically detect all Beings watching him with malicious intent within 300 feet of you for the next hour. This includes any who come within range during the duration. You have a sense of how many valid targets are nearby, as well as their distance and direction.

Even while this Effect is not active, if any Beings watching him with malicious intent come within 300 feet of you, you may roll Perception + Alertness, Difficulty 7 to detect them.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action to activate. Select a target within 45 feet. This Effect cannot be used unless Can only work if no one knows its happening. Choose an illusion to generate, which can be no larger than a person.

The chosen illusion is generated at your target, and it will remain in place for the next minute or you choose to end it. It can be perceived by people through their hearing, smell, and sight. The illusion cannot be used as an attack. You cannot make an exact replica of an existing Animate being or Object.

Anyone who touches the illusion (or who would be able to perceive it significantly through a sense it cannot fool) realizes it is an illusion, and the entire effect will be ended for all targets.

The illusion will remain fixed to its initial target, and can only change locations if the initial target is mobile in some way. It may have moving parts and engage in simple, predetermined movements but cannot perform anything complex or interactive unless you maintain Concentration and “puppeteer” it.

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see Begin doubting if it isnt in there head either.

  • When narrating disturbing content, be cognizant of your group's tone and accommodating to those who would like to "fast forward" through the description.
  • while you can use an illusion to obscure something smaller, you cannot make anything directly invisible (you can’t make a tank look like a regular baseball, but you can hide it in an illusion of a giant baseball).
  • You may only puppeteer a single illusion at once.
  • 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.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select an Animate target within arm's reach You may select a target at any range if you use up the brain of the target. You must maintain Concentration while the effect is active. Roll Brawn + Survival at Difficulty 6. The target may resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 6.

If you succeed, you are able to view your target's memories. If you fail, the target knows you're attempting to read their memories.

You may ask a number of specific questions about their memory equal to your Contested Outcome. For example, “what is their computer password,” “What were they doing at 4:00PM yesterday,” etc. You cannot get answers to broad, analytical questions like “are they a good person?” or “what are their plans for the future?”

Each memory takes as long to read as it takes to answer the question. When replaying a full memory, it is replayed in double time.

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see you must eat the brain of the target of whom you are acquiring the memories of.

  • When narrating disturbing content, be cognizant of your group's tone and accommodating to those who would like to "fast forward" through the description.
  • In the case of a failed activation, GMs should consider how bystanders would realistically react to a potentially-outlandish accusation of mind-reading.
  • 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.

Increase your sacrificial Injury's Severity by 1 and spend an Action. You must make a Trauma roll when you use this Effect. Its Difficulty cannot be reduced by any means. If you fail or Botch, you receive one Mind Damage and a new Trauma. The area within 50 feet of you immediately and obviously becomes imminently dangerous. Anyone in the area has 1 Round to attempt to escape. During the next Round, on your Initiative, roll Brawn + Athletics at Difficulty 6. Targets remaining 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 50 feet of you with Damage equal to your Outcome + 6. 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.

Any flammable Objects within the radius during the blast will catch fire, and any being who takes at least 4 Damage will catch fire. Starting the Round after they caught fire, flaming targets take 2 Damage per Round until the fire is extinguished.

Anyone who takes damage from the blast is knocked back away from you by a distance equal to the radius. They must succeed a Body roll, Difficulty 9, or be stunned for 1 round.

If you do not have a sacrificial Injury when you activate this Effect, take a new Severity-1 Injury.

  • Any visual cues from the initial blast which indicate imminent danger will remain in place during the following three waves of new blasts.
  • The sacrificial Injury received from activating this Effect cannot be prevented by any means or healed before 1 day has passed. It is shared with all Effects that use sacrifice. This Injury does not requires Stabilization or cause Battle Scars when it becomes Severe.
  • 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.

She believes so strongly that she is good enough to do this, after the way she got Ziz out of a demon-fly infested building, that she simply... does. This is why they chose her as the double for Jesse Quick, after all.

You gain the following benefits as long as you are showing off how fast you can go. You must actively and obviously be using throwing knives to gain the benefits of this Effect.

Whenever you use your Movement, after all other calculations, the distance you may travel is doubled.

While using this Effect, you may carry one other being without affecting your Encumbrance, so long as you maintain contact with them for the duration and they consent or are grappled.

Possession of this Power grants the following Trauma at all times: Parkour!: Roll Self Control to go at a regular speed when parkouring or otherwise showing off your athletic ability, instead of your maximum possible speed. You can exert to ignore this if you fail.

  • Any Encumbrance penalty to your movement still applies, but you do not suffer from any sort of exhaustion.
  • Damage from a collision depends on your speed at the time, as well as what you hit. GM's discretion, but generally moving faster than a car on the freeway and hitting a dense, solid object like a wall or a tree should be lethal. Mundane armor will not apply, but any supernatural forms of protection will.

Lightning fast foot-work combined with precise and brutal strikes. The Thai Death Arts are a style primarily focused on striking but also incorporates clinches, takedowns, and submissions. They were created by enslaved people in order to overpower armed captors without requiring weapons.

+2 dice to rolls for Attacking, Defending, and Clashing without a weapon. Unarmed attacks do +0 Weapon Damage (instead of -1).

You also gain the following effects:

  • Fight Circle: Only one opponent may engage you at melee range each Round.
  • Meat Shield: If you have successfully grappled a target, you may use a Reaction to redirect any incoming attack to them instead of you.

  • If an enemy attacks you at melee range, you may only attack them that Round (unless they are defeated). Likewise, if you attack an enemy at Melee range, only they may attack you that Round (unless your attack defeated that enemy). Essentially, use standard kung-fu movie rules.
  • Unlike the Ability Brawl, this Effect does not affect small weapons such as knives.
