Legacy Power: Sleepless Intelligence

"Alright everyone, let's get going bright and early! Now where can I get some coffee..."

A 1 Gift Mythic Intellect Power created by TheSuperChrisb.

Description

Most people simply lie when they say sleeping less makes them *more* awake.

Skunk doesn't need to.

Years of all-nighters have finally paid off, so much so that she can't seem to keep herself from pulling them... She tells herself that she's a night owl, but she's a little more than that. Even a simple power nap is all she needs to start the ideas machine again. With a nothing more than a cup of coffee in hand, she's readier than ever to start working.

Skunk's sleeplessness paradoxically increases her ability to recall any facts or information that she has come into contact with. No matter how long ago she read it, the information is locked in like a steel trap. In addition, when she focuses her mental energy to a task, she finds herself easily pushing beyond her limits, ignoring even the most harsh of injuries or stressors.

Unfortunately, this newfound ability has not done much for her social skills, as the know-it-all inside of her has come forward in force. Even so, her twitter hot takes seem to gather more and more of an audience, regardless of how insufferable she's become.

System

Passive, always in effect. Your Intelligence rating is increased by [[extra-intelligence]]. You may Exert your Mind to automatically gain an Outcome of 5 on any roll that uses Intelligence (cannot be used on combat rolls or Power activations).

A given Contractor may have a maximum of one Mythic Attribute. This Power can only be taken by Contractors who have purchased the fifth level of Intelligence.


Enhancements

  • Never Forget (You have a perfect photographic memory, and can recall or recreate even complex and detailed things. If you forget something you had previously seen or noticed, you may ask the GM and they will remind you.)
  • Push Through It (When you Exert your Mind to ignore Stress and gain +1 to your Outcome, it lasts for 3 Rounds.)

Drawbacks

  • Samson (A marking or physical trait is the source of your power. Losing it removes all benefits for the next 2 months. If someone witnesses you using this Effect, they get a Perception check to determine the source of your power.)
    • Source of your Power - Bags Under Eyes - Sleep 6 hours or less every night!
  • Insufferable Know-It-All (Any social rolls you make are at +1 difficulty, and if someone else can answer an informational question or solve a puzzle before you do, make a Trauma roll.)

Parameters

Extra Intellect: 0 ( 1 )
