Legacy Power: Paralyzing Gaze 2.0

A Locking Gaze

A 6 Gift Restrict Power used by Bernard Tox, created by Tsair.

Description

Bernard's eyes lock onto the target, fixing them in place until they struggle free.

System

Spend an Action, Exert your Mind, and roll Perception + Alertness Difficulty 6 to Restrict a target within 300 feet. The target may contest this by rolling Mind, Difficulty 6 as a Free Action. Success fixes the target in place at their location, although they still can move their arms, use Powers, etc. They suffer a penalty equal to the binding strength.

The target may attempt to break free by making a Wits+Influence roll, diff 7. Breaking the binding requires an amount of damage equal to double the initial Outcome. Damage from multiple attacks is cumulative and stacks linearly. The binding regains one binding strength per round, up to a maximum of the original outcome+3. Other individuals may also damage the binding by attacking it at +1 difficulty.


Enhancements

  • Persistent Binding (Unless the binding is fully escaped, the remaining amount of damage needed to escape increases by 1 per round, up to a limit of the initial Outcome + 3.)
  • 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.)
  • 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

  • Tunnel Vision (While this Effect is active, you are at -2 dice to all Actions and cannot Concentrate.)

Parameters

Range: 2 ( 300 feet )
