Legacy Power: The Price of Failure

Amarjeet swiftly grabs her assailant by the shoulders & places a well aimed knee into his groin; there is a muffled *crack* of a gunshot, & a smoking hole over her knee as the man falls.

A 1 Gift Extra Appendage Power used by Amarjeet Inderpal, created by Strazhari.

Description

Amarjeet's broken leg has been replaced by a sleek, cybernetic model. Largely composed of State of the Art ceramics & polymers, it is still clearly artificial.

Onboard weapon systems include a retractable "Spur" on her heel & a .45 Caliber "Pistol" built into the knee. This weapon can only be fired with accuracy in Melee range, can hold 8 rounds, & is typically fired with a "Knee Strike" motion.

The leg can be detached with some effort, & must be repaired or replaced if damaged.

System

Your Extra Appendage functions either as a replacement body part or a standard humanoid arm and hand. Any Battle Scars on your Extra Appendage, including its complete loss, can be healed over one Downtime.

If your Extra Appendage acts as an additional limb instead of a replacement, you do not need to re-roll to maintain a successful grapple. Instead, your previous Outcome can be reused each Round until the grapple is broken.

This Power is passive and always in effect.


Enhancements

  • Synthetic (Your extra appendage is not connected to your nervous or circulatory systems, and you will not take damage if it is hit by an attack or destroyed.)
  • Savage Blows (Attacks with your appendage are particularly vicious. Unarmed attacks with it get +2 Damage (instead of the typical -1).)
  • Grindhouse (You may make an attack using your Extra Appendage that behaves like a particular standard weapon. E.g. you may fire bullets from it or use it as a sword.)
    • Attack's Weapon Type - Knee Pistol

Drawbacks

  • Stumpy (Your Extra Appendage is incapable of fine object manipulation.)
  • Cyborg (Your Extra Appendage counts as an object and can be hacked or targeted by any Powers that affect objects or machines. Injuries to your Extra Appendage cannot be healed by Powers that affect living things but may be repaired during Downtime.)
