Legacy Power: Spirit Talk

“You poor soul… tell me how it happened.”

A 1 Gift Commune Power used by Ripley Ross, created by TheSuperChrisb.

Description

Mrs. Ross has a gift. One that has been built over a good many years. First they started as whispers in her dreamscape, moans that clouded her mind like a fog in the late evening hours. She doesn't quite remember how it happened, the moment was vague. She heard a lamenting echo from a body in a casket, a relative who must've just died. Though she cannot speak, The Voice in her head certainly can, and she tried to reach out to the whispers like she never could anyone else. To her immense surprise, the urn responded, a cavalcade of emotions from the recently deceased.

When Ripley Ross focuses on the body of the recently deceased, she is able to open a line of communication with the entity. The event is extremely distracting, as opening this line of communication beyond the veil invites the whispers of all manners of entity.

System

Spend an Action, Exert your Mind, and select a target within Arm's Reach. The target may communicate in your language for 10 minutes.

You may only communicate with the sorts of targets that your "Commune" Enhancements allow. Without at least one "Commune" Enhancement, this Power is unusable.


Enhancements

  • Fluency (Instead of activating this Power, you passively possess the ability to communicate with any target covered by your "Commune" Enhancements. It is as if you, and only you, speak their language.)
  • Concealed (Using this Effect is not obvious. Choose a Tell that occurs only when you use the Effect; if-- and only if-- someone suspects that a Effect was used, they must roll Perception + Alertness, Difficulty 8 to pick up on your Tell.)
    • Tell - Eyes shimmering purple during the conversation.

  • Dead (By targeting the body of someone who has died in the past week, you may speak to them.)

Drawbacks

  • Focus (Using this Effect requires a specific kind of item.)
    • Object - Talisman
  • Tunnel Vision (While this Effect is active, you are at -2 dice to all Actions and cannot Concentrate.)

Parameters

Range: 0 ( Arm's Reach )
