Five Point Palm Technique - 1 Gift Injure Power

Perform the Five Point Technique via a series of quick pressure point hits on the target’s chest. As you do, channel your chi and speak a condition involving the number five. If the target cannot stop you from performing the technique, their heart will take a direct hit when they fulfill the chosen condition.

System:

Spend an Action, Exert your Mind, and roll Dexterity + Brawl, Difficulty 6. The must be in melee range and may use a Reaction to dodge or parry as normal. If you have a positive Outcome, speak a condition involving the number 5 aloud to your target. The first time they fulfill the condition, they take the activation roll's Outcome plus 2 damage. The target's Armor is Fully Effective.

This is not a standard hand-to-hand attack and is not affected by Powers that enhance standard hand-to-hand attacks.

Enhancements: Curse Concealed

Stock Power Tip:

Investing Gifts into Armor Piercing can help sell this Power's "straight to the heart" flavor.

Cartoon Violence - 1 Gift Injure Power

The Toon performs some sort of cartoonish act of violence. This may be handing someone a bomb, hitting someone with a cartoon mallet, burping a burp that is so noxious it melts flesh, or anything else as long as it is cartoonish.

The attack is more of a throwaway gag than a plot element, so any props or properties of the attack are incidental and disappear immediately. Animated mallets evaporate in a puff of smoke, fire does not spread, and electricity cannot power devices.

System:

Spend an Action, Exert your Mind, choose a target within Arm's Reach and roll Wits + Performance, Difficulty 6. The target may use a Reaction to dodge or parry. Damage dealt equals the difference between your attack roll's outcome and the dodge/parry roll's (if one was made), plus 3. The target's armor is Fully Effective.

The chosen flavor of the attack cannot have a mechanical impact. For example, if you choose to eat a spicy pepper and blow fire into the face of an evil snowman, the fact that the attack is flavored as fire will not increase its damage.

When your Attack hits, flip a coin. If you lose, it deals -4 Damage (to a min of 0). If you win the flip, it does +3 Damage.

Enhancements: Erratic but Deadly

System:

Damage dealt equals the difference between your attack roll's outcome and the resistance roll's (if one was made), plus 3.The target's Armor is Fully Effective.

You must have a lighter, match, or other source of fire to use this Power.
