Pulp Powers

If the character tries to use this power more than twice a day, then shock damage is not healed, each additional attempt causes an extra +1 to the difficulty, and each raound of use causes 1 shock point.

There is a DN of the animal's Spirit to send the companion away on a dangerous mission, the only time a roll is needed.

If the animal is of the same inclination as the character, then the character can get the animal to perform one simple task by making a roll with a DN of the animal's Spirit. If the task would put the animal at risk, a Superior success is required.

Note: Not all animals have inclinations. Of those that do, about 90% are Good.

If the attack results in negative result points, those are read as damage on the attacker.

Mass, height, sex, etc., cannot be changed with this power, but a good enough success means the user can make a reasonable try of it.

Characters with Dispersal 20 or less look like vague, misty versions of themselves. At Dispersal 30 or greater, the character is a nearly invisible mist.

Unless the character has a special movement power, they move at DEX-4 while dispersed.

Whenever a positive bonus number is rolled, the player has the option of using it on damage or using 0. If they use the positive bonus number, they take 2 points of shock damage as fatigue.

A minimal success results in the target being spooked for 1 round. An average success spooks the target for 2 rounds. A good success spooks them for 3 rounds and stymies them. A superior success spooks them for 4 rounds, stymies them, gives them -5 to all totals, and forces them to try and run.

On a spectacular sucess, they will either surrender immediately (if the Fear-ing character is Good), or take the result points as mental damage (if their nemesis is Evil). Evil characters can kill through fear.

Most characters with this power have some trademark action (a laugh, a scream, a pose) associated with the power.

The power value is the damage value of the fire blast or fire wall. The fire wall can be maintained for a number of rounds equal to the character's Toughness. It takes 1 minute to recharge. Use of the fire blast attack causes 2 shock points as fatigue.

The character is immune to the effects of their own fog screen.

The force field retains no damage between uses. The power may be used for a number of rounds equal to the user's TOU. The power must be rested for 1 minute between uses.

At values of 20 or more, air and other gases do not penetrate the field.

When at full size, the user's strength is increased to the power value. Their toughness is likewise increased by 7 or to the power value, whichever is less.

All physical attacks on the grown character are at +5 to hit.

Illusion-caused damage is only the result of mental stress, and wears off once the illusion has been stopped or seen through.

The total weight affected is the power total. The maximum speed of the pull or push is 1/2 the power total.

The power is normally on for five rounds. To reverse the polarization or turn the power off early requires a new roll.

The shakeoff attmempt is a Mind roll against the controller's Mind.

Orders that are particularly unpleasant to the victim give them an automatic attempt to shake off the control, if they have any attempts left, with a +3 bonus. Other events, such as a friend trying to shake them out of it, can let them use another shakeoff attempt without the +3 bonus.

Mind Control may not be used on multiple targets, and does not confer the ability to telepathically send orders.

Mind Reading may not be used on multiple targets and does not allow for projecting thoughts.

To remove an O or K requires a power roll of TOU-3. To remove Wounded, the DN is TOU. To reduce Heavy Wound to Wound is TOU +3. To reduce a Mortal Wound to a Heavy Wound is TOU +6. If any roll fails, the player may not use their power again until they have healed past that level by other means.

X-Ray Vision can never penetrate lead and perhaps some other substances.
