Legacy Power: Can I Play With Madness?

🎵Give me the sense to wonder, to wonder if I'm free🎵

A 2 Gift Emotion Control Power used by Nikki, created by BOMBSHELL2150.

Description

Nikki plays a song that settles into the back of your mind like a splinter.

System

Spend an Action, Exert your Mind, and choose an emotion and an Animate target within 45 feet. Make a contested roll against the target, rolling Charisma + Performance Difficulty 6 vs their Mind, Difficulty 6 as a Free Action. If you win, the target must do something they otherwise wouldn't have done, inspired by the chosen emotion. The action they take will be in keeping with their character and the way they tend to deal with strong emotions. The emotion shift lasts 1 Hour, and during that time, they are very unlikely to change their mind about their action.

Combat ends the effect, even if the target started it. If attempting to calm during combat, effect ends if target is attacked.

Example emotions (and example potential actions):
Anger (attacking, losing temper)
Pity (adopting a puppy, stopping an attack, killing you painlessly)
Happiness (stopping a despair-driven action)
Jealousy (stealing a gem, buying something)
Anxiety (run, attack brutally)
Sadness (find solitude, openly cry)


Enhancements

  • Overwhelm (The defensive Mind roll suffers a -3 dice penalty.)
  • Breakdown (The defensive Mind roll is Difficulty 9.)
  • Strong Emotion (Affected targets will take extreme and often out of character actions inspired by the chosen emotion. They also display the emotion obviously.)

Drawbacks

  • Focus (Using this Effect requires a specific kind of item.)
    • Object - Guitar
  • Long Cast (This Effect takes one minute to activate.)

Parameters

Duration: 1 ( 1 Hour ) Range: 1 ( 45 feet )
