Legacy Power: Imperial Denunciation

"I say sir - you WILL cease such hostilities & uncivilized activities this very instant!"

A 2 Gift Traumatize Power used by Issac Norton II, created by Strazhari.

Description

The Golden Rule, espoused by most philosophies of the world: Love thy Neighbor. Do no Harm. Do unto Others as you would have them do unto You.

Everyone knows this moral lesson, for Man is inherently good. Yet, in the cut throat world of seeking one's daily bread, it is a lesson easily forgotten. Pushed aside in the mad race to reach the heights of self gratification!

Yet, no matter how far the sheep has strayed from the shepherd, they still yearn to do what is right. With some, only a gentle word is needed...for others, the Imperious Command from the Top Hat clad figure of Emperor Norton the II is required - this resounding decree shakes even the coldest heart, awakening them to an enlightenment they will not soon forget!.

System

Choose a Sapient target within 20 feet and Exert your Mind. Your target must make a Trauma roll (Mind, Difficulty 8). If they fail, they acquire a new Trauma, chosen by the GM, and take 1 point of Mind damage. This Trauma may be removed by Powers or mundane therapy as per the normal rules.

Your target is aware that they are being attacked and can usually determine you are the one doing it. (Generally, this is folded into the Power's flavor and Description.)

If your target is incapacitated, they automatically fail their Trauma roll.


Enhancements

  • Wish you Were Here (Targets that receive a new Trauma are aware that you are interacting with them but they do not view it as an attack or view the resulting Trauma as malicious. If their Trauma is treated, they will be able to see the reality of the situation.)
  • Induce Panic (Make a Difficulty 6 roll when you activate this Power and use the target's Trauma roll to resist. If your contested Outcome is positive, the target takes that much Mind damage. They receive a new Trauma if and only if you deal at least 3 Mind damage.)
    • Chosen Roll - Charisma + Influence

Drawbacks

  • Focus (Using this Effect requires a specific kind of item.)
    • Object - Imperial Regalia
  • Single Minded (Only causes a single type of Trauma when the target fails their roll.)
    • Trauma Caused - Pacifism

Parameters

Range: 1 ( 20 feet )
