Legacy Power: Appease the Dead

A 3 Gift Telekinesis Power used by Ripley Ross, created by TheSuperChrisb.

Description

The Talent wasn't wrong, Mrs. Ross's gift has become much stronger in a very short amount of time. Instead of simply communicating with the dead, she has learned to use The Voice to command them to do her bidding. The commands are limited in scope right now, but they will grow with time as she continues to practice and cultivate the gift.

Ripley Ross concentrates on The Veil and begins to call out with The Voice. Her eyes shimmer and flicker with a subtle purple energy and she speaks her command under her breath (though no words are communicated in meatspace). A spirit in the local space becomes compelled to do her bidding, though which entities that she pulls over are still yet to be seen...

System

By concentrating fully, you are able to interact with targets you can see at a distance of 5 feet. Rolls for Actions taken with these targets use Perception in place of Brawn and Intelligence in place of Dexterity. The effective rating for these Attributes is limited to 3 for Actions that would use Brawn and 3 for Actions that would use Dexterity.

You cannot engage in attacks with this Power, and you are limited to actions that a standard human could take with their bare hands, were they close to the object (no lockpicking or surgery by default). Any actions taken on an Animate target require contested rolls.

If the object passes out of sight, you lose your hold on it.

You must maintain concentration while using this Power. That means you can only move at a slow walk, and cannot split your Action between using the Power and other Actions. If you are Injured or interrupted, you must roll Mind Difficulty 9 to maintain Concentration. If you fail, you cannot use this Power for a minimum of 6 - Intellect rounds.


Enhancements

  • Psychic Brawler (You can focus enough force behind your telekinesis that you are able to simulate Brawling. This includes punches as well as grapples.)
  • 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 - Eyes lightly flickering with purple energy

Drawbacks

  • Focus (Using this Effect requires a specific kind of item.)
    • Object - Spirit Talisman

Parameters

Range: 0 ( 5 feet ) Maximum Dexterity: 1 ( 3 ) Maximum Brawn: 1 ( 3 )
