Hell's Blessing

1
The power to cause a destructive blast of damage in an area.
Used by Morrigan, Created by Minerwerewolf.
(Anyone who witnesses you activate this Effect is very likely to be disturbed to see The souls of the dead erupt from hell, clawing at anything in their radius.. You must actively and obviously be using A metal Coin necklace.)

The ground cracks, the flames of hell flickering through.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Location within 25 feet. You must actively and obviously use A metal Coin necklace to activate this Effect. The area within 10 feet of the chosen Location immediately and obviously becomes imminently dangerous. On the following Rounds, you may choose to detonate the Blast as a Free Action on your initiative. When you do so-- or when one minute elapses-- roll Charisma + Influence at Difficulty 6.

If the Outcome is positive, your blast hits everything within 10 feet of the chosen Location with Damage equal to your Outcome + 4.

Anyone hit by the blast may roll Body at Difficulty 7 as a Free Action, and reduce their Damage taken by the Outcome. Damage spreads to targets beyond the edge of the initial radius, decreasing by 2 Damage for every 5 feet traveled.

Any flammable Objects within the radius during the blast will catch fire, and any being who takes at least 4 Damage will catch fire. Starting the Round after they caught fire, flaming targets take 2 Damage per Round until the fire is extinguished.

If you successfully hit your target, the value of any Armor they are wearing is reduced by 2. For material armor, this penalty lasts until it is repaired. For intrinsic armor, it lasts until the end of Combat and any relevant wound is healed.

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see The souls of the dead erupt from hell, clawing at anything in their radius..

  • Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.

Funnily enough the green screen explosion doesn't make things burn though because it quite literally isn't even real.

Damage spreads to targets beyond the edge of the initial radius, decreasing by 2 Damage for every 5 feet traveled.

After you finish activating this Effect, you cannot move quicker than a walk (max 15 feet per Round) for one minute and suffer a -1 dice penalty for an hour. Exhaustion’s penalty and duration stacks with multiple activations.

  • Any visual cues from the initial blast which indicate imminent danger will remain in place during the following three waves of new blasts.
  • Exhaustion penalties and duration stack. If you activate this Effect or another Effect with Exhaustion, your penalty will worsen, and the duration is increased by one hour.
