Legacy Power: Snakebite: Quick acting

Strike with the ferocity of a viper

A 1 Gift Injure Power used by Viper, created by Iamangelofwar.

Description

You spit or strike your foes with your teeth and injure them with a powerful acid, that while flushes quickly throughout their system, still does incredible damage to the bitten.

System

Spend an Action, Exert your Mind, choose a target within Arm's Reach, and roll Dexterity + Melee Difficulty 6. The target may defend by rolling to dodge or Defend (as for an attack with a thrown weapon) as a Reaction.

Damage dealt equals the difference between your attack roll's Outcome and the defensive roll's (if one was made), plus 2.The target's Armor is Fully Effective.


Enhancements

  • Cantrip (Activating this Effect has no Exertion cost, but its Gift Cost can never be increased above 2.)
  • Painful (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.)
  • That's Gonna Leave A Mark (If the target suffers an Injury from this Effect, they will receive at least a Minor Battle Scar regardless of its Severity. When this Effect causes a Battle Scar, you may select which one of the appropriate level.)

Drawbacks

  • Slow (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.)

Parameters

Range: 0 ( Arm's Reach ) Armor Effectiveness: 0 ( Fully Effective ) Damage: 1 ( 2 )
