System

Choose an Animate target within 30 feet, Exert your Mind, and roll Dexterity + Melee Difficulty 7 as a Committed Action. The target may contest with to dodge or Defend (as for an attack with a thrown weapon) as a Reaction. If you are successful, the target grows drowsy for 3 Rounds and then falls asleep for Outcome x 3 minutes. Unconscious or incapacitated targets cannot contest.

While drowsy, the target's Penalty is increased by 3 for all Actions.

The target falls into a deep sleep, but they may still be awoken by sudden loud noises, being jarred or splashed with water, taking damage, or similar rousing events. They will also awaken before dying of hunger, thirst, or suffocation.


Enhancements

  • Out Like a Light (Your target can only be awoken by taking Damage or nearing death for lack of air, water, or food.)
  • Concealed (Using this Effect is not obvious. Choose a Tell that occurs only when you use the Effect; if-- and only if-- someone suspects that a Effect was used, they must roll Perception + Alertness, Difficulty 8 to pick up on your Tell.)
    • Tell - He strikes with a needle

Drawbacks

  • Biological Psychology (This power only works on Sapient, Living targets)
  • Fuel (Using this Effect consumes some material good in addition to its other costs.)
    • Fuel Unit - A throwing needle
  • Sleep Paralysis (Instead of falling asleep, the target remains conscious but cannot take any Actions for the duration. Their senses and memory work as normal.)
