Superhero Landing "That's not flying.. that's falling with style"

5
Requires Seasoned
The power to leap across vast distances and tremendous heights.
Used by Mark Collins, Created by Redchigh.
(This Effect is obviously Alien when used. This Effect has no explicit visibility requirements.)

Marks body is becoming more and more conditioned for excruciatingly hard impacts and sudden bursts of muscle tension. His muscles aren't destroyed by exercise, instead simply multiplying almost on the fly. This has the unfortunate side effect that on the cellular level, all his muscles aren't the same length, some stretched or coiled like a spring no matter his position- Luckily they stretch impossibly without breaking, and the expected pain is nearly unnoticed to Mark. In exchange, his twitch reflex is beyond measure- some section of muscles is always poised for instant action.

He can't turn on a dime, reverse, or stop unless he has something to hold onto or kick off of, but he is very good at landing. It's very much like he's just good at throwing himself and sticking (or well, surviving) the landing. Enacting the same process in reverse, throwing out his arms and taking the impact (or catching himself thanks to armored fist)

Exert your Mind and spend an Action or Reaction. Select a Location which is at most 100 feet away horizontally or 25 feet away vertically. If you are using this Effect as a Reaction, you must travel at least 10 feet.

You jump to the chosen location. If jumping blind or landing precariously, must roll Dexterity + Athletics to land safely. You will never take fall Damage from successfully landing a jump made with this Effect.

You may opt to trade your free movement for a Super Leap if you are jumping less than 50 feet or if you are closing a gap to an opponent and spend your Action on an attack.

You may activate this Effect while in free-fall, as long as your target Location is a surface on which you can land. You are immune to fall damage.

When you use this Effect as a Reaction to dodge, if you Exert your Mind to activate the Effect, you do not need to roll; your dodge is automatically successful.

  • If you are Encumbered, the maximum range is cut in half. If Encumbrance has reduced your total movement to 0, you cannot activate this Effect.
  • vertical jump height measures to the bottom of your feet, so your total vertical reach is at least a body length greater.
  • Rolls to land safely will generally be Athletics, but GMs may call for a different roll at their discretion if it makes sense for the specific circumstances.
  • You may only use this Effect once per Round of combat, regardless of any Enhancements you have taken.
  • Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.
