Legacy Power: Sweet Release

Ease them into the next life or shove them there

A 2 Gift Injure Power used by Penny Roberts, created by Iamangelofwar.

Description

This was Valery's first sign that she was special. She had always had an aptitude for knowing way too much about death, but in the hospice she could just... ease them gently into the next world. Those who are effected by this ability can see a form overlapping hers, varying on where their soul will go after they die. For those who told her what she looked like in the hospice, it was usually some sort of angel, but it can also appear as a dark hooded figure, a flaming demon, a loved one who passed before, a being to whom they sold their soul, etc.

System

Spend an Action, Exert your Mind, choose a target within Arm's Reach, and roll Intellect + Occult Difficulty 6. The target may defend by rolling Mind, Difficulty 6 as a Free Action.

Damage dealt equals the difference between your attack roll's Outcome and the defensive roll's (if one was made), plus 3.The target's Armor is Fully Effective.


Enhancements

  • Concealed (Using this Effect is not obvious. Choose a Tell that occurs only when you use the Effect; if-- and only if-- someone suspects that a Effect was used, they must roll Perception + Alertness, Difficulty 8 to pick up on your Tell.)
    • Tell - Whispering and talking to the patient

  • Cantrip (Activating this Effect has no Exertion cost, but it can have no more than 3 Drawbacks and its Gift Cost can never be increased above 2.)

Drawbacks

  • Conditional (This Effect is only available when a certain condition is met. This condition must be severe enough that this Gift is unusable the majority of the time.)
    • Condition - The target must be close enough to death that using this power would kill them. If you do not deal enough damage to kill them, your action is wasted

Parameters

Range: 0 ( Arm's Reach ) Armor Effectiveness: 0 ( Fully Effective ) Damage: 2 ( 3 )
