Legacy Power: Mantra of Karma
Redistribution of harm.
A 1 Gift Barrier Power used by Sav'ant Amida, created by SamrinSamrin.
Description
"As you wince in anticipation for the attack to reach you, for the blade to slam down on you, you realize the attack never came. Opening your eyes you see instead that your assailant seems to be bleeding, a gash on his chest visible as if he'd struck himself, and as you look around for the source you see Sav'ant smiling at you, as his hand lowers."
Sav'ant has the ability to manipulate Fate, he has the ability to redistribute the effects of an attack back to the attacker: while diffusing the attack itself by momentarily granting the target of this ability a shield of "Karma" which is where the effects of the attack diffuses into. Essentially, Sav'ant manipulates the Fate / "Karma" of a target in order to protect them from the effects of an oncoming attack, and when the attack strikes it is partially diffused back to the attacker through "Karma".
System
Exert your Mind, choose an Animate target within 20 feet, and roll Charisma + Influence Difficulty 6 as a Committed Action. If you succeed, the next Outcome Damage to that target is absorbed by the barrier. The Damage reduction from the Barrier applies before Armor, and is treated like Armor by any effects such as Armor Penetration.
You must maintain concentration while using this Power. That means you can only move at a slow walk, and cannot split your Action between using the Power and other Actions. The Barrier will fall if you are interrupted or if it absorbs the full amount of damage. When a Barrier falls, you cannot use this power again for a minimum of 6 - Intellect rounds.
Enhancements
- Reflect (Any Damage absorbed by the barrier is reflected back to the attacker, up to a maximum of the Barrier Strength Parameter’s bonus. Their Armor applies in full.)
- Tying Off (Any barriers you create last two hours, and you no longer need to maintain Concentration in order to maintain them.)
- Too Slow! (You may activate this Effect as a Reaction.)
Drawbacks
-
Focus
(Using this Effect requires a specific kind of item.)
- Object - Buddhist Ornamentry
- Traumatic (You must make a Trauma roll when you use this Effect. Its Difficulty cannot be reduced by any means.)
