Legacy Power: Zeno's Paradox

Fate brings people together, but it can just as easily force them apart.

A 1 Gift Push / Pull Power used by Brandon Garcia, created by Buttonmasher.

Description

The Fortuneteller may be phony in some ways, but not in their understanding of Fate. By altering the flow of energy around them, the Fortuneteller can prevent themselves from coming into contact with an individual, effectively delaying a fated encounter. To the target, if appears as if their movement towards him was merely imagined. They can run towards the Fortuneteller, but in the blink of an eye will return to their point of origin. To others, it appear as if strings are manifesting in midair around the user, the strands of Fate exposing themselves as a result.

System

Exert your Mind, choose an Animate target, and roll Intellect + Occult Difficulty 6 as a Committed Action, which the target can resist by rolling Mind, Difficulty 6 as a Free Action. Success prevents the target from approaching within 45 feet of you for 3 Rounds. A tie cuts the target's move speed in half while moving towards you within 45 feet for the same amount of time.

This Power requires continuous Concentration to maintain. You may only move at walking speed while concentrating, and any significant interruption (such as taking damage or being grappled) will break the effect.


Enhancements

  • Magnetic Field (All Animate targets within half the normal range are pushed or pulled.)

Drawbacks

  • Biased (Only affects a specific type of being. For example, undead creatures, animals, or mundane humans.)
    • Type of Being - Mundane humans.
  • Draining (After this Effect ends, you cannot move quicker than a walk (15 feet per Round) for one minute and suffer a -1 dice penalty for an hour.)

Parameters

Range: 1 ( 45 feet ) Duration: 0 ( 3 Rounds )
