Legacy Power: Sound Barrier

“All together now!”

A 1 Gift Barrier Power used by Keith Nightly, created by shotgunwizard22.

Description

Keith Nightly’s music comes alive and forms a barrier to defend him as he plays, letting none disturb the jam session of him and his band mates

Uses Music

System

Exert your Mind, choose an Animate target within Arm's Reach, and roll Charisma + Performance Difficulty 6 as a Committed Action. If you succeed, the next Outcome + 1 Damage to that target is absorbed by the barrier. The Damage reduction from the Barrier applies before Armor, and is treated like Armor by any effects such as Armor Penetration.

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. The Barrier will fall if you are interrupted or if it absorbs the full amount of damage. When a Barrier falls, you cannot use this power again for a minimum of 6 - Intellect rounds.

Enhancements

  • Bubble Shield (Your barrier’s strength is doubled, and it protects everyone within a 15 foot radius of your primary target. However, any attacks that originate from inside the radius will not be absorbed.)
  • Triggered (You cannot manually activate this Effect. Instead, choose a triggering event, always outside your control, that activates this Effect without requiring an Action or Exertion cost from you.)

    • Triggering Event - Stage Presence is activated

  • Persistent Shielding (The barrier regenerates back to full strength at the end of each round of combat. It will still fall if the full amount of damage is dealt within a single round, or if you are interrupted.)

Drawbacks

  • Focus (Using this Effect requires a specific kind of item.)
    • Object - Musical Instrument
  • Selfish (You may only target yourself.)

Parameters

Barrier Strength: 1 ( Outcome + 1 ) Range: 0 ( Arm's Reach )
