Legacy Power: The Knife In The Dark

“There was a hand in the darkness, and it held a knife.”

- Neil Gaiman, The Graveyard Book

A 1 Gift Melee Mastery Power used by Benny Scappetti, created by BobDylan530.

Description

Benny is adept at striking from the shadows. His stealthy knife attacks are silent, quick, and deadly.

System

Passive, always in effect. Attacks with melee weapons will do +1 more damage and pierce [[armor-piercing]] armor. Only works for sneak attacks with knives. Can move as a free action while attacking. If you kill an unsuspecting target with a sneak attack, you don't break stealth.


Enhancements

  • Fancy Footwork (You may move your full Dash distance and attack in the same Round without penalty. You may also split your movement before and after your attack.)

Drawbacks

  • Specialist (These benefits only apply to a certain specific class of weaponry.)
    • Type of Weapon - Knives
  • 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 - Only works for sneak attacks
  • Supernatural (This Power causes a mutation (passive) or an effect (active) that marks it or its owner as a supernatural being.)
    • Effect - Your hands appear to be shrouded in a shadowy haze
