Legacy Power: Paralyzing Gaze
Eyes lock onto the target, commanding and unmoving. The fixed gaze locks the target in place, an ethereal hold forcing them paralyzed. The focus is intense, and can be a harrowing experience for the mind as the user locks down their target.
A 5 Gift
Restrict
Power
created by Tsair.
Description
User's head locks in place staring at target, target's entire body locks up and feels as though there's an intense pressure holding them from moving. No visible restraints hold them, and the struggle is almost entirely mental.
System
Spend an Action, Exert your Mind, and make a Difficulty 5 Roll (Perception+Alertness) to Restrict a target within 20 feet. Success fixes the target in place at their location, and on 3 successes or more locks their limbs as well. They may attempt to break free by making a Wits+Brawl roll, difficulty 7. Breaking the binding requires an amount of damage equal to the successes on the initial Restrict roll, and damage from multiple attacks is cumulative and stacks linearly.
Enhancements
-
Persistent Binding
(Unless the binding is fully escaped, the remaining amount of damage needed to escape increases by 1 per round, up to a limit of the initial Outcome + 3.)
-
Ethereal Chains
(The binding affects intangible targets like ghosts and can no longer be attacked physically. Instead, a restricted target may roll Mind at Difficulty 7 to attempt to escape the binding.)
-
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.)
-
Encase
(If the Contested Outcome is higher than the target’s Brawn, they are encased and cannot take any physical Actions other than attempting to escape until they break free.)
Drawbacks
-
Fan Dance
(This Effect lasts as long as you maintain Concentration.)
-
Traumatic
(You must make a Trauma roll when you use this Effect. Its Difficulty cannot be reduced by any means.)
-
Conditional
(This Effect is only available when a certain condition is met. This condition must be severe enough that this Gift is unusable the majority of the time.)
-
Condition - Must retain eyesight of target
Parameters
Range:
1 ( 20 feet )
