Legacy Power: Pfft, Tell me about it

"You from around here? What brings you around these parts, friend?"

A 1 Gift Investigate Individual Power used by O'malley, created by Redchigh.

Description

Bartenders don't just mix drinks, no.. They're therapists, friends, confidants.

The best ones, you walk away feeling like you just had a chat with your best friend.

O'Malley has years of practice, and knows how to make a patron feel comfortable. Full attention, a warm smile, and a twirl of a bottle tends to make people want to open up to him.

System

Exert your Mind, choose a Sapient target within Arm's Reach and spend 1 Minute examining them. At the end of the cast time roll Charisma + Influence Difficulty 6. The quality of the information you receive depends on your Outcome, and the nature of the information depends on the Enhancements you have chosen.

The number of information-revealing Enhancements attached to this power is limited to 2 for Novice characters, 4 for Seasoned characters, and 7 for Veteran characters. You may still take any number of other, non-informational enhancements.


Enhancements

  • Dream-Seeker (You learn where the target sleeps, how long they tend to sleep each night, whether or not they have nightmares, and what their nightmares tend to be about.)
  • 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.)
  • Lucifer (You learn a hidden desire of the target.)
  • 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 - The targets eyes get bloodshot like they've been drinking

Drawbacks

  • Mage (Activating this Effect requires two consecutive Actions of Concentration. It involves intricate use of the body and voice. If interrupted during activation, the Effect fails. It is obvious you are preparing to activate an Effect during casting.)
    • Activation Ritual - Making a drink as an act of performance (twirling bottles, flipping glasses etc)
  • Secrets Spoken (The information you gather is made public. The target and those around will know that it has been revealed. Usually this means the target speaks the information aloud, but other flavors are possible.)
    • Method of Reveal - The target reveals the information aloud
  • Conversationalist (You must actively converse with the individual in question for one minute in order to gather any information.)

Parameters

Cast Time: 1 ( 1 Minute ) Range: 0 ( Arm's Reach )
