Legacy Power: Necrophage

Edgar lifts his muzzle from the torn-open belly of a corpse, "Impotence, eh? Happens to the best of us," he says to it conversationally, before continuing to feast.

A 1 Gift Investigate Individual Power created by Strazhari.

Description

Edgar sniffs the flesh of a dead creature, & learns key information from the scent, specifically any medical/psychological history. This process only works on corpses. In the event he actually consumes at least a pound of the flesh over the duration, there is no Exertion cost: Roll Per. + Investigation (Diff: 6) to determine results.

System

Exert your Mind, choose a Sapient target within Arm's Reach and spend 2 Rounds examining them. At the end of the cast time roll Perception + Investigation Difficulty 6. The quality of the information you receive depends on your Outcome, and the nature of the information depends on the Enhancements you have chosen.

The number of information-revealing Enhancements attached to this power is limited to 2 for Novice characters, 4 for Seasoned characters, and 7 for Veteran characters. You may still take any number of other, non-informational enhancements.


Enhancements

  • Diagnostic (Determine any medical or physiological issues they have, as well as their species and a general overview of their biology.)
  • Conditionally Costless (This Effect does not require Exertion in certain circumstances. The condition should be balanced such that it has an activation cost the majority of the time you are able to use it.)
    • Condition - Must eat at least a pound of target

Drawbacks

  • Easy to Resist (The target must either consent to be targeted or be unconscious, hypnotized, thoroughly drugged, in surgery or similarly incapacitated such that they could not or would not roll to resist this Power.)
  • 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 - Corpse only

Parameters

Range: 0 ( Arm's Reach ) Cast Time: 2 ( 2 Rounds )
