Legacy Power: Clockwork Orange

"Pay now, in kind."

A 6 Gift Traumatize Power used by Terry Buckworth, created by ShadyTradesman.

Description

To those truly beyond all other help, Terry is capable of locking eyes with them and forcing them to relive to emotional pain their violence has caused others. They are left with a horrible distaste for violence.

System

Choose a target within Arm's Reach and Exert your Mind. Your target must make a Trauma roll (Mind, Difficulty 9). If they fail, they acquire a new Trauma, a phobia of violence, and take 1 point of Mind damage. This Trauma may be removed by Powers or mundane therapy as per the normal rules.

Your target is aware that they are being attacked and can usually determine you are the one doing it.

If your target is incapacitated, they automatically fail their Trauma roll.

Enhancements

  • Right in the Childhood (The defender's Trauma roll is made at -3 dice.)
  • 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.)

Drawbacks

  • Out of Control (Traumas caused by this Effect are selected by the GM according to its flavor and circumstances, not by you.)
    • None - Phobia of violence

Parameters

Range: 0 ( Arm's Reach )
