Real Deal "No more smoke and mirrors."

2
You possess the ability to interact with the world without physically touching it.
Used by Joseph Kingston, Created by Ryan_Martiner.
(It is obvious that you are the one exercising control over your target. )

You exercise your telekinetic prowess, with a subtle stirring in the depths of consciousness as a flicker of psychic energy ignites the pupils of your eyes. With a white glow and a gesture of your hand, you unleash this latent power, causing the air to form ripples of glass and shimmer with unseen forces.

Like many powers, this one comes directly from the mind, or should I say the potential that your mind holds. Like a cup overflowing with water, the mind is slowly becoming free, ushackled from the limits of the human concept. Released from its prison, seeping out into the world in the form of energy.

You gain the following benefits at all times.

You can interact with things that are within 75 feet without needing to physically touch them or be near them. Any rolls made for Actions taken in this way use a Mental Strength of 4 in place of your Brawn rating, a Mental Agility of 1 in place of your Dexterity, and otherwise use your own Attributes and Abilities.

Telekinetic actions have the following restrictions and behaviors:

  • Heavy Lifting: You may Exert your Mind to increase your Mental Strength by 4 for the next non-combat action you take with this Effect.
  • Line of Sight: You must be able to visually observe anything you interact with, and any actions that you are taking will end if their target moves out of sight.
  • Unarmed Combat: You cannot deal damage through unarmed combat or thrown objects with this Effect, though you may still grapple with targets.
  • Weapons: You cannot wield weapons effectively in combat.
  • Fine Tools: You are otherwise limited to actions that a normal human could do with their bare hands.
  • Maintaining Focus: You must maintain Concentration while taking Actions in this way. If you are Injured or interrupted, you must roll Mind at Difficulty 9 to maintain Concentration. If you fail, you cannot engage in telekinetic actions for the next 6 - Intellect rounds.
  • Levitation: If you are strong enough to lift yourself, you may levitate up to within 75 feet away from the ground. Movement is limited to 5 feet per Round.
  • Multiple Items: You can only interact with one thing or take one Action at a time.

  • Any telekinetic actions which interact with Animate targets may require contested rolls at GMs discretion.
