Requires Seasoned
The power to put a target to sleep.
Used by Timothy Humbug, Created by jwesley123.
(When activating this Effect, it is obvious you are interacting with the target. You must actively and obviously be using A throwing needle.)

Timothy has perfected his acupuncture slightly more allowing him not damage an enemy but paralyze them by peircing them with a needle in just the right spot.


Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Location within 30 feet. All Living or Animate targets within 20 feet of the chosen location are affected. You must actively and obviously use A throwing needle to activate this Effect. Roll Dexterity + Athletics at Difficulty 6. Affected targets may resist by rolling Body at Difficulty 6.

If you succeed, affected targets becomes drowsy for the next 3 Rounds, during which time they suffer an additional -2 dice Penalty to all Actions. At the end of their drowsiness, they fall into a state of sleep paralysis for Outcome x 3 minutes. During this time, they remain fully conscious and aware of their surroundings but are incapable of taking any actions.

Sleeping targets will not prematurely wake up on their own, and can only be awoken by taking Damage or nearing death from hunger, thirst, or suffocation. Drowsy targets always fall asleep, regardless of what happens while they are drowsy.

If an affected target was already sleeping when you used this Effect, they are put into a deep coma that lasts indefinitely, but they will be awoken from it if Pulling the needle out.

  • For targets where "sleep" does not make any sense in terms of flavor, they will power down, freeze, etc, whatever state they can be in which is analogous to sleep.
  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
  • Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.
