Legacy Power: Clicks, Caws, and Whistles

“No, it WASN’T a sneeze.”

A 1 Gift Command Creature Power used by Emrick, created by lumiq.

Description

Emrick, of course, is a crow in his truest form. Being semi-human doesn’t just stop him from being able to communicate with his species, though he needs some helpful materials for persuasion to get them past the initial avoidance of human-looking people.

System

Exert your Mind and spend a round issuing a command to a Creature. This command can be issued from 20 feet, but you must have some means of knowing where the Creature is and/or communicating the command to it. Your command cannot be beyond their intellectual grasp, it cannot obviously endanger them. Duration depends on the command, but is generally not longer than a day.

Subsequent commands to the same Creature within an hour do not cost Exertion.


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 - Emrick’s feathers ruffle, disturbing his clothes with odd, rippling movement.

  • 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

  • Focus (Using this Effect requires a specific kind of item.)
    • Object - Bird food (which can be pretty much any food)
  • 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 - Corvids

Parameters

Range: 1 ( 20 feet )
