Legacy Power: Something In My Drink

Never trust a drink given by a charming stranger.

A 1 Gift Disease Power created by BobDylan530.

Description

Bill is able to spend some time fiddling with some powders (which he keeps hidden in bottles labeled as vitamins) to create a dose that, if ingested, will simulate the effects of a non-lethal drug or disease. Bill must watch the target consume the poison in order for it to take effect.

System

Exert your Mind and roll Wits + Science Difficulty 6 as a Committed Action against a Living target within Arm's Reach, who can contest it with Body, Difficulty 6 as a Free Action. If you succeed, the target is successfully infected with any mundane disease that is not generally fatal and is curable by modern medicine. The symptoms manifest immediately. They are not contagious. If the target cannot contract the disease for some reason, you cannot inflict it.

Enhancements

  • 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.)
  • Pharmacist (You may use this Power to apply a non-lethal dose of any mundane drug. The effect takes at least five minutes to fully take hold, but symptoms appear immediately.)

Drawbacks

  • Consumable (Instead of using this Power directly on a target, you must prepare it as a consumable material. Anyone who drinks or eats a full dose is fully affected by the Power and cannot make any resistance rolls. Prepared doses expire in 24 hours.)
    • Consumable's Appearance - A little blue pill capsule, with white powder inside
  • Conditional (This Effect is only available when a certain condition is met. This condition must be severe enough that this Gift is unusable the majority of the time.)
    • Condition - You must be watching the target ingest the poison for the effect to work
