Legacy Power: Psychokinesis

The eyes of the small sauropod crackle & glow with unearthly energy as small objects begin to float about.

A 5 Gift Telekinesis Power used by Guido, created by Strazhari.

Description

The eyes of the small sauropod crackle & glow with unearthly energy as small objects begin to float about.

Guido uses Intelligence in place of Brawn & Wits in place of Dexterity to determine Psychic Strength

System

By concentrating fully, you are able to interact with targets you can see at a distance of 75 feet. Rolls for Actions taken with these targets use Intelligence in place of Brawn and Wits in place of Dexterity. The effective rating for these Attributes is limited to 3 for Actions that would use Brawn and 3 for Actions that would use Dexterity.

You cannot engage in attacks with this Power, and you are limited to actions that a standard human could take with their bare hands, were they close to the object (no lockpicking or surgery by default). Any actions taken on an Animate target require contested rolls.

If the object passes out of sight, you lose your hold on it.

You must maintain concentration while using this Power. That means you can only move at a slow walk, and cannot split your Action between using the Power and other Actions. If you are Injured or interrupted, you must roll Mind Difficulty 9 to maintain Concentration. If you fail, you cannot use this Power for a minimum of 6 - Intellect rounds.


Enhancements

  • Deft Brain (You may now manipulate small or delicate pieces of items, allowing you to unscrew things, attempt to pick someone's pockets, do a sleight of hand trick, etc.)
  • Too Slow! (You may activate this Effect as a Reaction.)

Drawbacks

  • Monstrous (Possessing this Power causes a mutation that elicits a strong, negative social response from the average person in your setting. The mutation is visible even if you are wearing long sleeves, pants, and shoes. Maximum one per Contractor.)
    • Mutation - Pygmy Sauropod

Parameters

Range: 1 ( 75 feet ) Maximum Brawn: 1 ( 3 ) Maximum Dexterity: 1 ( 3 )
