Legacy Power: Ne Fais Pas De Mal

first, do no harm

A 3 Gift Restrict Power used by Eugene “Doc” Roe, created by BOMBSHELL2150.

Description

Doc sees the situation begin to degrade in slow motion.

Eyes widen. Hands reach for weapons. Mouths tighten against teeth in an ugly grimace. Shouts begin to echo around the room in garbled tongues.

While his body tenses, his soul feels tired. A man of peace cursed to exist in perpetual violence. His eyes linger on a man near him, assault rifle coming to bear against the people he came here with, when he feels power well in his chest between his lungs.

"Stop" Doc says.

The man, moving forward, suddenly stops: his feet rooted in place.

System

Spend an Action, Exert your Mind, and roll Charisma + Influence Difficulty 6 to Restrict a target within 20 feet. The target may contest this by rolling Mind, Difficulty 6 as a Free Action. Success fixes the target in place at their location, although they still can move their arms, use Powers, etc.

The target may attempt to break free by making an attack against their bonds at +1 difficulty. Breaking the binding requires an amount of damage equal to double the initial Outcome. Damage from multiple attacks is cumulative and stacks linearly. Other individuals may also damage the binding by attacking it at +1 difficulty.


Enhancements

  • Momentum (This Effect pushes or pulls the target back towards a target surface within range and affixes them to that surface, rather than the ground where they stood.)
  • Encase (If the Contested Outcome is higher than the target’s Brawn, they are encased and cannot take any physical Actions other than attempting to escape until they break free.)
  • Ethereal Chains (The binding affects intangible targets like ghosts and can no longer be attacked physically. Instead, a restricted target may roll Mind at Difficulty 7 to attempt to escape the binding.)

Drawbacks

  • Focus (Using this Effect requires a specific kind of item.)
    • Object - Holy Object
  • Double-Edged Sword (You are affected by this Power to the same extent as your target.)

Parameters

Range: 1 ( 20 feet )
