Legacy Power: Brain over brawn!

I do love a good conundrum.

A 1 Gift Mythic Intellect Power used by Heimer Zinger, created by Dragonlizard.

Description

Heimer has noticed these past few days that his head has almost doubled in size, but he feels his mind working faster and faster. He is able to recite several thousand digits of pi in mere minutes. He has also become keen at deep thought, by stimulating the deeper parts of his mind he can sort of run scenarios over and over in his head and analyze them as they playback in his head, and make some deductions on what happens.

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

  • Brilliant Deduction (You may spend five minutes pondering an enigma, puzzle, or mystery, and roll Intellect at Difficulty 8. Success will reveal a clue or other tidbit that you have otherwise missed. Limit once per enigma.)
  • 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 - Wrench Birthmark
  • 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 )
