Legacy Power: Lightning Bolt
"Walking through fire, fate's in my hands / Waiting for lightning to strike / Man on a wire, bearing the brand / Waiting for lightning to strike!" - Judas Priest, Lightning Strike
A 1 Gift Injure Power used by Thaddeus Thunder, created by BobDylan530.
Description
Thad crackles with electricity, overloaded from the inside, and he is able to take hold of that energy and shape it into a bolt of lightning, which he can throw at others.
System
Spend an Action, Exert your Mind, choose a target within 45 feet, and roll Dexterity + Athletics Difficulty 6. The target may defend by rolling to dodge or Defend (as for an attack with a thrown weapon) as a Reaction.
Damage dealt equals the difference between your attack roll's Outcome and the defensive roll's (if one was made), plus 1.The target's Armor is Reduced to 1/2, rounded up.
Enhancements
- Beam-o-war (You may use this Effect to Defend against any melee, projectile, or firearm Attacks within range or Clash against any Attack targeted at you. Using it to Defend deals no Damage but does not cost Exertion.)
- Painful (The target suffers a -3 dice penalty for the next hour or until the Injury is healed. This dice penalty does not stack multiple times on the same target.)
Drawbacks
- Exhausting (After you finish activating this Effect, you cannot move quicker than a walk (max 15 feet per Round) for one minute and suffer a -1 dice penalty for an hour. Exhaustion’s penalty and duration stacks with multiple activations.)
