Legacy Power: Bank Account

"You have to get through my bank account first"

A 1 Gift Barrier Power created by jwesley123.

Description

Spectral money swarms around Jeremy as he stares down the man with the gun.

System

Exert your Mind, choose an Animate target within Arm's Reach, and roll Intellect + Culture Difficulty 6 as a Committed Action. If you succeed, the next Outcome + 1 Damage to that target is absorbed by the barrier. The Damage reduction from the Barrier applies before Armor, and is treated like Armor by any effects such as Armor Penetration.

You must maintain concentration while using this Power. That means you can only move at a slow walk, and cannot split your Action between using the Power and other Actions. The Barrier will fall if you are interrupted or if it absorbs the full amount of damage. When a Barrier falls, you cannot use this power again for a minimum of 6 - Intellect rounds.


Enhancements

  • Reflect (Any Damage absorbed by the barrier is reflected back to the attacker, up to a maximum of the Barrier Strength Parameter’s bonus. Their Armor applies in full.)
  • Tying Off (Any barriers you create last two hours, and you no longer need to maintain Concentration in order to maintain them.)
  • Bubble Shield (Your barrier’s strength is doubled, and it protects everyone within a 15 foot radius of your primary target. However, any attacks that originate from inside the radius will not be absorbed.)
  • Too Slow! (You may activate this Effect as a Reaction.)

Drawbacks

  • Mage (Activating this Effect requires two consecutive Actions of Concentration. It involves intricate use of the body and voice. If interrupted during activation, the Effect fails. It is obvious you are preparing to activate an Effect during casting.)
    • Activation Ritual - Jeremy opens his briefcase as Spectral money comes flying out forming a bubble around Jeremy
  • Selfish (You may only target yourself.)
  • Focus (Using this Effect requires a specific kind of item.)
    • Object - Some form of money

Parameters

Range: 0 ( Arm's Reach ) Barrier Strength: 1 ( Outcome + 1 )
