Papier-Mâché It's called papier-mâché, not paper-mache.

Requires Seasoned
The power to create a protective barrier.
Used by Bryan Bosch, Created by Monday.
(This Effect is obviously Alien when used. The target and source of this Effect are obvious to bystanders.You must actively and obviously be using up folding paper.)

Bryan carefully folds together the paper in on itself, increasing its density and changing its shape to a shield-like form. The origami barrier then hovers around the user, and automatically moves, expands, and hardens to protect them.


Spend two Actions performing the following ritual: folding the paper and vocally designating a target. Select a Animate target within arm's reach. You must use up folding paper in order to activate this Effect. You must maintain Concentration while activating this Effect, and it fails if you are interrupted. Roll Intellect + Crafts at Difficulty 6.

If you succeed, you create a barrier around your target, which absorbs the next Outcome +2 Damage. The Damage reduction from the barrier is applied before Armor. You may have up to 3 barriers active at a time.

You must maintain Concentration while using this Effect. 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 Effect again for a minimum of 2 Rounds. As long as it does not fall, the barrier regenerates back to full strength at the end of each Round of combat.

This Gift cannot have more than 3 Drawbacks, and its Gift Cost is capped at 2.

  • Effects which circumvent Armor completely also circumvent your barrier.
  • 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.
