Legacy Power: Naga's horde

Measure an item's power

A 1 Gift Investigate Object Power used by Viper, created by Iamangelofwar.

Description

Dragons, naga, fey, and creatures of all types tend to collect and horde. The problem is knowing about what is in your horde, what they do and what other beasts lay claim to your wealth. Now you can intuit that information by spending time with new pieces, granted you have something to measure it against, gold being traditional, due to it's price and its conductivty of power.

System

Exert your Mind, target an Object within Arm's Reach and spend 1 Minute examining it. At the end of the cast time, roll Perception + Investigation 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 Contractors, 4 for Seasoned Contractors, and 7 for Veteran Contractors. You may still take any number of other, non-informational Enhancements.

Enhancements

  • User Manual (You learn the object's intended function and how to use it for its intended purpose. This does not grant skill.)
  • 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 - Comparing it to the gold, be it by inspection or weighing

  • Alien Origin (Determine if this target is Alien in origin or whether it has any Alien energy or outside influences. You receive information about the type of energy, including the name of the relevant Source pool or equivalent.)

Drawbacks

  • Focus (Using this Effect requires a specific kind of item.)
    • Object - Something made of or containing gold
  • Focused Investigation (You learn only one type of information about the target per use.)

Parameters

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