Legacy Power: Neuron Manipulation
#1 power for making your parents less mad
A 0 Gift Emotion Control Power created by coco.
Description
Alexis alters the electricity in the targets brain.
System
Spend an Action, Exert your Mind, and choose an emotion and an Animate target within Arm's Reach. Make a contested roll against the target, rolling [[attack-roll]] vs their [[resistance]]. If you win, the target must do something they otherwise wouldn't have done, inspired by the chosen emotion. The action they take will be in keeping with their character and the way they tend to deal with strong emotions. The emotion shift lasts 1 Minute, and during that time, they are very unlikely to change their mind about their action.
Combat ends the effect, even if the target started it. If attempting to calm during combat, effect ends if target is attacked.
Example emotions (and example potential actions):
Anger (attacking, losing temper)
Pity (adopting a puppy, stopping an attack, killing you painlessly)
Happiness (stopping a despair-driven action)
Jealousy (stealing a gem, buying something)
Anxiety (run, attack brutally)
Sadness (find solitude, openly cry)
Enhancements
- Switch (You may turn this Effect on and off during its duration.)
- 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.)
- Cantrip (Activating this Effect has no Exertion cost, but its Gift Cost can never be increased above 2.)
Drawbacks
- Tunnel Vision (While this Effect is active, you are at -2 dice to all Actions and cannot Concentrate.)
