Legacy Power: Odessa's Embrace

The blessing of the goddess!

A 5 Gift Sleep Power used by Vergil Arrior, created by leonvanderblight.

Description

The dream goddess can bring true, restful, sleep to all. Though those who experience her touch at not always the most willing, the goddess is not one to take no for an answer once she's been pointed at a target and her spiritual means are often quite difficult for some to resist.

System

Choose an Animate target within 30 feet, Exert your Mind, and roll Charisma + Occult Difficulty 7 as a Committed Action. The target may contest with Mind, Difficulty 6 as a Free Action. If you are successful, the target grows drowsy for 3 Rounds and then falls asleep for Outcome x 3 minutes. Unconscious or incapacitated targets cannot contest.

While drowsy, the target's Penalty is increased by 3 for all Actions.

The target falls into a deep sleep, but they may still be awoken by sudden loud noises, being jarred or splashed with water, taking damage, or similar rousing events. They will also awaken before dying of hunger, thirst, or suffocation.


Enhancements

  • Group Therapy (You may target a number of individuals equal to your Charisma rating.)
  • Tiring (When an affected target wakes up, they remain drowsy for the next minute, and suffer a -3 dice penalty. If an affected target successfully resists being put to sleep, they will still become drowsy for the next minute, and will suffer the same penalty)
  • Out Like a Light (Your target can only be awoken by taking Damage or nearing death for lack of air, water, or food.)
  • 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 - The gem glows lightly

Drawbacks

  • Focus (Using this Effect requires a specific kind of item.)
    • Object - Gem of the Goddess Odessa
  • Biological Psychology (This power only works on Sapient, Living targets)
  • Unique Focus (This Power takes the form of a specific, unique item, which can be borrowed, lost, or stolen. You must use / wear this item as intended to use this Power.)
    • Focus - Gem of the Goddess Odessa

Parameters

range: 1 ( 30 feet ) Duration: 1 ( Outcome x 3 minutes ) Time to Fall Asleep: 2 ( 3 Rounds )
