Legacy Power: Cartoon Violence

Don't worry, it's still TV-G!

A 1 Gift Injure Power created by shady.

Description

The Toon performs some sort of cartoonish act of violence. This may be handing someone a bomb, hitting someone with a cartoon mallet, burping a burp that is so noxious it melts flesh, or anything else as long as it is cartoonish.

The attack is more of a throwaway gag than a plot element, so any props or properties of the attack are incidental and disappear immediately. Animated mallets evaporate in a puff of smoke, fire does not spread, and electricity cannot power devices.

System

Spend an Action, Exert your Mind, choose a target within Arm's Reach and roll Wits + Performance, Difficulty 6. The target may use a Reaction to dodge or parry. Damage dealt equals the difference between your attack roll's outcome and the dodge/parry roll's (if one was made), plus 2. Ignores [[armor-piercing]] Armor.

The chosen flavor of the attack cannot have a mechanical impact. For example, if you choose to eat a spicy pepper and blow fire into the face of an evil snowman, the fact that the attack is flavored as fire will not increase its damage.


Parameters

Range: 0 ( Arm's Reach ) Damage: 1 ( 2 ) Armor Effectiveness: 0 ( Fully Effective )
