Legacy Power: Air Drums

Let's Rock!!!

A 1 Gift Illusion Power used by Theodore Reeves, created by clarkkrahn.

Description

Crash uses this power to summon drums whenever he needs them. They may come in the form of floating disks, bongo drums or just a full drummer's setup. The sounds that come from them are directly yoinked from Crash's head, so it could come out as the perfect ballad he has ever dreamed up, or as him yelling something. The way he activates the ability is by hitting his drumsticks together three times in the air.

System

Exert your Mind, spend an Action, and make a Charisma + Performance Difficulty 6. The Difficulty depends on the complexity of the intended illusion and is at the GM's discretion. Success allows you to generate a visual illusion that is No larger than an SUV and is attached to either a target or a Location. The illusion will remain in place for 1 Day.

This illusion may have moving parts, but they will stick to a fixed, predetermined, simple motion unless you maintain concentration in order to "puppeteer" them. If it is attached to a target, it will follow them when they move, but otherwise cannot move to a new location on it's own. Making them engage in complex, spontaneous interaction with the real world may require additional rolls.

Upon observing an active illusion, a person can make a Mind roll, difficulty 7. If their Outcome is greater than the Outcome on your initial roll, they realize they are viewing an illusion, though it will still be visible to them for the duration. If they investigate the illusion and notice it is non-corporeal or otherwise behaves in a bizarre manner, they conclude it is an illusion without a roll.

An illusion can show any image that fits the size restriction, but it cannot create a direct replica of an existing living being, and it may only affect a person's sense of sight, not hearing, smell, taste, touch, or other senses.

Illusions cannot be used as attacks. For example, you cannot create an illusion of the sun to blind people.
