Put The Fear Of God In Them
"Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil." - Proverbs 3:7
A 1 Gift Traumatize Power created by ExampleRobot.
Description
The Priest can channel their true faith in the Lord into a brutal assault on the consciousness of demonic or unholy creatures. By wielding his favored holy symbol, a gilded crucifix, they can put a proper fear of God into them, leaving them cowering at any truly holy things they encounter. Brandishing his crucifix in this way wreathes his entire body in a warm golden glow.
System Active
Choose a demonic or unholy creature within 20 feet, Exert your Mind, and brandish a crucifix in front of you. Your target, as well as all valid targets within 20 feet of it, must make a Trauma roll (Mind, Difficulty 9). If they fail, they acquire a Fear of holy things, and take 1 point of Mind damage. This Trauma may be removed by Powers or mundane therapy as per the normal rules.
Your target is aware that they are being attacked and can usually determine you are the one doing it. If your target is incapacitated, they automatically fail their Trauma roll.
You have no Exertion cost if you have just been attacked by and taken an Injury from your target.
