Legacy Power: Sound Barrier
"The earth starts to rumble / World powers fall / A warring for the heavens / A peaceful man stands tall" - Symphony of Destruction, Megadeth
A 1 Gift Barrier Power used by Thaddeus Thunder, created by BobDylan530.
Description
Thad's bass licks are so powerful and resonant that they create a barrier of sound waves in a sphere around him, stopping projectiles in their tracks, and even sometimes sending them bouncing back at their attackers. The air around him seems to vibrate and fuzz as his riffs keep chugging.
System
Exert your Mind, choose an Animate target within Arm's Reach, and roll Dexterity + Performance 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.)
- 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.)
- Persistent Shielding (The barrier regenerates back to full strength at the end of each round of combat. It will still fall if the full amount of damage is dealt within a single round, or if you are interrupted.)
