The Dregs of Leyding “You can’t break free of what’s already broken”

4
The power to impair a target's movement.
Used by Grayson Stendahl, Created by Metal.
(When activating this Effect, it is obvious you are interacting with the target. )

A writhing mass of metal chains rises out of the floor at Grayson’s call…when the revenant spirit of Leyding is in the mood. It is a fickle thing, and knows not whether to trust his potential. Right now, it does not always come when he beckons.

This mass of winding, rusted, broken chains fires off a few links at his target, interrupting or binding them in a spectral embrace.

Leyding…one of the two chains broken attempting to bind Fenrir. When Leyding broke, its ghost carried on. A ghost without a home. A ghost with failed purpose. Thousands of years later…in the unlikeliest of places, its spirit latched on to a young rocker on the streets of Seattle. He had a gift for convincing people. And Leyding learned from its successor Gleipnir—that the trick to trapping someone is often in convincing them there is no escape.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a target within 20 feet. Roll Dexterity + Influence at Difficulty 6. The target may contest by Defending or Dodging.

If you succeed, your target will be restricted at their location by a physical, tangible binding. They cannot move to a new location, and, if your Contested Outcome was greater than their Brawn, they are encased and cannot take any physical Actions other than attempting to escape until they break free.

The target may spend an Action and roll Brawn or Dexterity + Athletics to attempt to break free. They must accumulate a total Outcome equal to or greater than the original Contested Outcome to escape. Damage to the binding from outside sources also contributes.

You may use this Effect as a Reaction to contest any physical Action a target is taking. Excess Outcome does not restrict the target.

  • For entities whose movement could be considered an attack (e.g. a kaiju), the GM may rule that they are merely slowed instead of fully restricted.
  • 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.
