Legacy Power: Necrophage

Edgar lifts his muzzle from the torn-open belly of a corpse, "Impotence, eh? Happens to the best of us," he says to it conversationally, before continuing to feast.

A 1 Gift Investigate Individual Power created by Strazhari.

Description

Edgar eats the flesh of a dead creature, & learns key information from the flavor, specifically any medical/psychological history. This process only works on a "ripe" corpse (at least 24 hours old), & the process involves actually consuming the flesh of the deceased: Roll Per. + Investigation (Diff: 6) to determine results.

System

Exert your Mind, choose a Sapient target within Arm's Reach and spend 2 Rounds examining them. At the end of the cast time roll [[investigate-roll]]. The quality of the information you receive depends on your Outcome, and the nature of the information depends on the Enhancements you have chosen.

The number of information-revealing Enhancements attached to this power is limited to 2 for Novice characters, 4 for Seasoned characters, and 7 for Veteran characters. You may still take any number of other, non-informational enhancements.


Enhancements

  • Species (You learn what the target's species is called, as well as some basic facts about it.)
  • Diagnostic (Determine any medical or physiological issues they have, as well as their species and a general overview of their biology.)
