Legacy Power: Shadow Physique

Lord of shadows. Ruler of the dark. The last fallen one. Turn me into one of your blessed for a time!

A 1 Gift Obscure Power used by Niel, created by GreenAppll.

Description

A contract niel made a long time ago has come back to haunt him. The being that took his wife has come back for the deal it made. It won't return his wife but it will also help him deal with others.

Dark tendrils envelopes niel as he turns into a shadow himself. His smell lingers, his body still has substance. But he is a shadow as he moves silently.

System

Exert your Mind and spend an Action to obscure yourself. You and any clothes or equipment you are wearing are obscured from Sight for 1 Minute. You cannot re-cast this Power until 1 Minute has elapsed. Entering Combat or being injured ends the effect early.

All mundane attempts to detect you via Sight fail, unless you chose vision. In that case, others must roll to detect you, and all attempts to detect you via mundane means are rolled at +2 Difficulty.

GMs should use their discretion when determining the exact effects of this Power. Standing still against a complex background may render you impossible to detect, and footprints in snow may make it easy. A chance to detect you is not guaranteed.

Enhancements

  • Additional Sense (You are concealed from an additional sense)

    • Chosen Sense - Hearing

  • Combat Stealth (This Effect does not end early when you activate an obvious Effect, attack, or receive an Injury.)

Drawbacks

  • Focus (Using this Effect requires a specific kind of item.)
    • Object - Necklace
  • Unique Focus (This Power takes the form of a specific, unique item, which can be borrowed, lost, or stolen. You must use / wear this item as intended to use this Power.)
    • Focus - His Wife's Necklace
  • Traumatic (You must make a Trauma roll when you use this Effect. Its Difficulty cannot be reduced by any means. If you fail or Botch, you receive one Mind Damage and a new Trauma.)

Parameters

Cooldown: 2 ( 1 Minute ) Duration: 1 ( 1 Minute )
