Copy and Edit New

Description

By locking eyes with a target, Janus uses his bionic implant and knowledge of future atrocities to holographically project a series of rapidly cycling traumatic images to the targets retina. The source, target, and nature of the attack are obvious to anyone observing, visible as a rapidly pulsing laser connecting their eyes.

System

Choose a target within 20 feet and Exert your Mind. Roll Intelligence + Medicine. Your target must make a Trauma roll (Mind, Difficulty 8+2=10) to resist. They take mind damage equal to the outcome. If they take 3 or more Mind damage, they acquire a new Trauma, which is limited to paranoid delusions of persecution by AI. This Trauma may be removed by Powers or mundane therapy as per the normal rules.

Your target must be looking at you and not incapacitated, and both they and observers are aware that they are being attacked by you.

Enhancements

Soul Twist (The target loses your Contested Outcome in Source. Once their Source is depleted, excess Outcome is applied as Mind Damage. They receive a new Trauma if and only if you deal at least 3 Mind damage.)
- None - Intelligence + Medicine
Right in the Childhood (The defender's Trauma roll is made at -3 dice.)

Drawbacks

Out of Control (Traumas caused by this Effect are selected by the GM according to its flavor and circumstances, not by you.)
- None - Paranoid delusions of persecution by evil AI and disguised robots.
Conditional (This Effect is only available when a certain condition is met. This condition must be severe enough that this Gift is unusable the majority of the time.)
- Condition - Must lock eyes with target.
