Shimmering Coins They won't even know i'm gone

1
A trap that will catch and hold a target's attention when triggered.
Used by Ains Ladeen, Created by MonsterCookie9.
(The trap looks like picking up/catching the shimmering coin and can only be discovered as a trap by those with preexisting knowledge of such traps. )

Activated via being picked up or the target catching the coin, upon being noticed, the dollar coin will proceed to supernaturally shimmer, causing anybody to have noticed it within a 20 feet radius to become starstruck, unable to take their eyes off of it.


Use up this dollar coin and spend an Action to turn picking up/catching the shimmering coin into a trap. This trap lasts until triggered or disarmed. Roll Charisma + Influence at Difficulty 6.

The trap looks like picking up/catching the shimmering coin and can only be discovered as a trap by those with preexisting knowledge of such traps. Anyone who is aware of the trap may intuitively avoid, trigger, or destroy it.

Any Sapient, Living target within within 20 feet that uses the trap as picking up/catching the shimmering coin will trigger it. All affected targets may resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 6.

When the trap is triggered, the targets will keep their full attention focused on the trap for contested Outcome in Rounds. They will automatically fail any rolls related to noticing anything other than the trap. If they cannot perceive the trap through Sight for three Rounds, the Effect is broken. The Effect ends early if the target is Injured or enters Combat.

This does not affect the target’s opinion of the trap or their mood, and they may take any Actions while affected (including attacking), as long as that action centers on the trap.

  • Anyone who witnesses you place the trap learns about this type of trap and can avoid it at will.
  • Triggering the trap requires an Action from the target, not merely an incidental glance.
  • This consumable is destroyed when used and cannot be used again.
  • Multiple traps cannot be placed in the exact same location or be triggered by the same single Action. Nor can one trap triggering cause another to trigger.
  • Trap can only be spotted by someone who has witnessed this particular trap before, has been informed, or possesses relevant supernatural abilities.

Edit: This power has been totally reconfigured. The two-step conditional is weird anyway, & fascinating things that don't eat w/ food is lame. Rather than be a highly leveraged pseudo stun lock, this power NOW serves a much more interesting role & relies on you doing what you do best - making people food.

As a Sabotaged item, it only works when people eat the meal - it can effect as many people as can sit down & eat that meal within 5ft. All of them stay fixated until the meal is complete & are at penalty for ALL your other effects while eating.

Even better, previously created fine meals could be stored for later use, so the 30 second cast time is irrelevant

Exert your Mind and spend 30 seconds to turn a fine meal into a trap. This trap lasts one day or until triggered or disarmed. Roll Charisma + Crafts at Difficulty 6.
