Appease the Dead "𝒲𝑜𝓊𝓁𝒹 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝓀𝒾𝓃𝒹𝓁𝓎?"

3
You possess the ability to interact with the world without physically touching it.
Used by Ripley Ross, Created by TheSuperChrisb.
(This Effect may or may not be obviously Alien. It is obvious that you are the one exercising control over your target. You must actively and obviously be using Spirit Talisman.)

The Talent wasn't wrong, Mrs. Ross's gift has become much stronger in a very short amount of time. Instead of simply communicating with the dead, she has learned to use The Voice to command them to do her bidding. The commands are limited in scope right now, but they will grow with time as she continues to practice and cultivate the gift.

Ripley Ross concentrates on The Veil and begins to call out with The Voice. Her eyes shimmer and flicker with a subtle purple energy and she speaks her command under her breath (though no words are communicated in meatspace). A spirit in the local space becomes compelled to do her bidding, though which entities that she pulls over are still yet to be seen...

You gain the following benefits at all times. You must actively and obviously be using Spirit Talisman to gain the benefits of this Effect.

As long as you maintain Concentration, you can take Actions and interact with things that are within 75 feet without needing to physically touch them or be near them. Any rolls made for Actions taken in this way use a Mental Strength of 4 in place of your Brawn rating, a Mental Agility of 2 in place of your Dexterity, and otherwise use your own Attributes and Abilities.

Telekinetic actions have the following restrictions and behaviors:

  • Line of Sight: You may use this Effect to take non-Combat Actions on targets which are out of sight, provided you have an understanding of their location.
  • Unarmed Combat: You can use this Effect to deal damage through unarmed attacks, grapples, and thrown objects. Attacks deal +1 Damage. Unarmed Mastery does not apply.
  • Weapons: You cannot wield weapons effectively in combat.
  • Fine Tools: You are otherwise limited to actions that a normal human could do with their bare hands.
  • Levitation: If you are strong enough to lift yourself, you may levitate up to 75 feet away from the ground. Movement is limited to 5 feet per Round.
  • Multiple Items: You can only interact with one thing or take one Action at a time.
  • Lifting and hauling: you may lift 180 pounds.

  • Using this Effect on targets which you cannot see will not give you any descriptive information about their location or surroundings, though you will have a sense of whether or not you are “touching” them, or if they bump into something.
  • Any telekinetic actions which interact with Animate targets may require contested rolls at GMs discretion.

Whether it’s true or not, Archie is confident that the whole building would come down if he weren’t on call to do his job as the head secretary of the Bank of America Corporate HQ.
