The power to create a protective barrier.
Used by Nathan Hong, Created by Ltyinkwint.
(Activating this Effect is not obvious. The only sign you are using an Effect is the target's reflection becoming slightly more reflective and geometric and a very faint outline of this reflection also overlaps them.)

Nathan focuses on his reflection and amplifies it. His reflection becomes slightly more geometric and reflective.
Any attacks that attempt to damage him is reflected away into a different direction.

Spend an Action. Select a Animate target within arm's reach. This Effect cannot be used unless taken no Body damage and has not taken over 2 Mind damage. Roll Intellect + Occult at Difficulty 6.

If you succeed, you create a barrier around your target, which absorbs the next Outcome + 2 Damage. The Damage reduction from the barrier is applied before Armor. You may only have 1 active barrier at a time.

The barrier will fall after two hours, or if it absorbs the full amount of Damage. When a barrier falls, you cannot use this Effect again for a minimum of 2 Rounds.

This Effect is not obvious, and the only sign you are using an Effect is the target's reflection becoming slightly more reflective and geometric and a very faint outline of this reflection also overlaps them. If someone suspects that an Effect was used, they must roll Perception + Alertness, Difficulty 8 to pick up on your Tell.

This Gift's Cost is capped at 2 and cannot be increased further.

  • 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.
