Legacy Power: Porcupine's Blessing

Oouch

A 4 Gift Afflict Power used by Antonio (The Bull) Deltauros, created by Redchigh.

Description

Though mildly poisonous, the concern is actually the physical design, and the way the spines work their way deeper with each movement.

System

Exert your Mind, choose a target within Arm's Reach, and roll Wits + Occult Difficulty 6 as a Committed Action. The target may roll Body, Difficulty 6 as a Free Action to resist.

If you succeed, the target takes a Severity 1 Injury that is not stopped by Armor. This Injury will worsen in Severity by 1 level every 10 minutes. The target begins experiencing noticeable symptoms immediately. If the target is cured, the Injury remains but does not worsen.

The target or anyone who examines them may roll Wits + Animals Difficulty 6 as a Committed Action to diagnose their affliction and determine how to treat it. The target may be cured by Remove every spine fragment.

If this Injury would kill the target, they may roll a single die, Difficulty 6. If they succeed, they survive and are cured.


Enhancements

  • Triggered (You cannot manually activate this Effect. Instead, choose a triggering event, always outside your control, that activates this Effect without requiring an Action or Exertion cost from you.)
    • Triggering Event - Being damaged by Deltauros' armor.

Drawbacks

  • Treatable (The target may also be cured if the Deterioration is stabilized as though it were a Severity 6 Injury (Intellect + Medicine Difficulty 8, requires equipped facilities (vet clinic, doc office).)

Parameters

Period: 3 ( 10 minutes ) Range: 0 ( Arm's Reach )
