Legacy Power: Ice Beam

The staple Ice-type move. Don't get hit!

A 2 Gift Injure Power used by Sam Yukimura, created by T3K.

Description

One of the most famous moves in all of Pokemon, Sam has learned how to use the move Ice Beam against his opponents as long as he has something cold to channel the attack with. A target can dodge out of the way or block the beam with something, but getting hit will end up damaging the armor they might have as a freezing cold spreads over it.

System

Spend an Action, Exert your Mind, choose a target within 45 feet, and roll Charisma + Influence 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 3.The target's Armor is Reduced to 1/2, rounded up.


Enhancements

  • Shredder (If you successfully hit your target, the value of any Armor they are wearing is reduced by 2. For material armor, this penalty lasts until it is repaired. For intrinsic armor, it lasts until the end of Combat and any relevant wound is healed.)

Drawbacks

  • Focus (Using this Effect requires a specific kind of item.)
    • Object - Something chilly or cold (like Snom)

Parameters

Range: 1 ( 45 feet ) Armor Effectiveness: 1 ( Reduced to 1/2, rounded up ) Damage: 2 ( 3 )
