Holy purge Burn away beasts of black filth

1
The power to start and extinguish fires with ease.
Used by Jimmy Rockman, Created by Enkidu.
(When activating this Effect, it is obvious you are interacting with the target. You must actively and obviously be using a big stick.)

Dr, Rockman, points and waves his stick at a target and they are covered in white divine fire. The fire burns through objects and monsters of evil but leaves innocents unharmed as the fire is cool to them. The fire is fueled by the sins of the target as it burns them and their crimes away.

horrendous acts include anything that would set off the Murder limit, Atrocities limit, or large scale deception (con-man stuff).

Spend an Action. Select a target within 20 feet which has both fuel and oxygen available (if you are starting a new fire). This Effect cannot be used unless the target is Evil (done a horrendous act or is monster) and in angelic form. You must actively and obviously use a big stick to activate this Effect.

You may start or extinguish a fire as large as a firepit's fire at your target. Extinguishing a fire does not cost Exertion. You may create or extinguish fires the size of a lighter or candle flame without Exerting your Mind. Your fires require fuel and oxygen in order to continue burning.

Lighting a target on fire deals 4 Damage each Round on your turn, starting in the Round after the one in which they caught fire. This Damage is reduced by Armor, but the target’s Armor rating will be depleted by any Damage dealt, destroying the Armor once it reaches 0.

You may extinguish flames as a Reaction. This does not extend to explosives.

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

  • Someone may attempt to extinguish a fire that you started by spending an Action and rolling Dexterity + Athletics. An Outcome of 4 puts out the fire
  • 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.
