As Time Slips Away

2
The power to grievously injure a target.
Used by Donovan, Created by diamondolphin.
(When activating this Effect, it is obvious you are attacking the target. You must actively and obviously be using an analog watch.)

As this activates, the internals of the watch disappear from on the watch, and reappear scattered randomly throughout the target. The watch and all the parts (now inside the target) still function during this time, as if they were still in their usual place. As the target gets closer to the final Severity, the parts slowly reappear, starting with the face and hands almost instantly, all the way down to the rotor once they reach the final Severity.

Spend an Action. Select a target within 45 feet. You must actively and obviously use an analog watch to activate this Effect. Roll Intellect + Crafts Difficulty 6. The target may contest by rolling Body, Difficulty 6.

If the Contested Outcome is positive, the target takes that much Damage plus 4.

Any Injury inflicted is considered unstabilized even if its Severity is less than 4. The equipment and roll required to Stabilize it is treated as though it is a minimum of Severity 6.

The target suffers a -3 dice penalty for the next hour or until the Injury is healed. This dice penalty does not stack multiple times on the same target.

This Gift's Cost is capped at 2 and cannot be increased further.

Instead of dealing Damage all at once, the Injury caused by this Power starts at Severity 1 and worsens at the rate of one level per Round until it reaches the Severity it would have otherwise been.

  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
  • Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.
