Legacy Power: overwhelming confidence

a poker face wins everytime

A 2 Gift Emotion Control Power used by Leonardo, created by Marz.

Description

leo's courage is so strong and overwhelming that it can be sensed threw his intense glare and anyone who is affected by it will be scared of him due to all of the that courage thinking he either is very strong or he has something up his sleeve

System

Spend an Action, Exert your Mind, and choose an emotion and an Animate target within 45 feet. Make a contested roll against the target, rolling Charisma + Athletics Difficulty 6 vs their Mind, Difficulty 6 as a Free Action. If you win, the target must do something they otherwise wouldn't have done, inspired by the chosen emotion. The action they take will be in keeping with their character and the way they tend to deal with strong emotions. The emotion shift lasts 1 Minute, and during that time, they are very unlikely to change their mind about their action.

Combat ends the effect, even if the target started it. If attempting to calm during combat, effect ends if target is attacked.

Example emotions (and example potential actions):
Anger (attacking, losing temper)
Pity (adopting a puppy, stopping an attack, killing you painlessly)
Happiness (stopping a despair-driven action)
Jealousy (stealing a gem, buying something)
Anxiety (run, attack brutally)
Sadness (find solitude, openly cry)


Enhancements

  • 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.)

    • Object - objects that gives leo courage (ex. his headband)
  • Elemental (Instead of choosing an emotion, you may only inspire a single emotion or narrow band of emotions.)
