Jaunt
MINDWIRE (Passive)
You can join your mind telepathically with a number of other willing people you touch equal to CAT. While within long distance of each other, you can talk telepathically, and sense each other’s ambient emotional state. This effect lasts until you use it again, until someone becomes unconscious, or until you or another person closes the connection.
★ SEIZE (Curse, Short, Scene)
You can shunt your perception out of your body to take control of a human, animal, or corpse (in good condition) you can see in range for a scene. Supernatural beings are immune this effect. Unwilling humans might require a rolling MENTAL to control successfully.
- While controlling another your real body is insensate and defenseless.
- For humans and animals, you cannot force a target to harm itself or take action that would indirectly cause it to come to harm.
- Actions that the target takes use your skills, but the target’s body or equipment, which might change the circumstances.
You are kicked out of the body if it takes stress.
☆ DESECRATE (Adjacent, Instant)
You can forcibly see the memories of corpses, up to a CAT number of humans or executioners by touching them on the eyes. You may ask the corpse(s) three questions total (no matter how many you force), after which the effect ends and they no longer can be interacted with in this way again. It also expires if the hour passes.
- You can’t use this power on the same corpse more than once.
- This power does not return life to the body, instead accessing the body’s memories. If the head or brain is missing, this power will not work as well.
- The corpse’s mind is obligated to answer truthfully, but can only speak to the realm of its knowledge and memories before it died. It may have only partial knowledge of a situation or may speak according to its own viewpoint.
Then lose the use of this power until you rest.
★ BLAST (Universal)
Spend a mental burst and roll MENTAL to produce a weaponized form of concentrated psychic energy in melee or short range. The specific look and feel of this basic executioner skill varies between executioner. The strength of this blast scales with CAT.
When your executioner produces a blast, they might:
- Imbue a slash of a blade or a shot with a ranged weapon with psychic energy.
- Shoot an invisible ball of force from their fingers.
- Fire scathing lightning.
- Shoot a bead of frigid fire.
Unlike your mundane service weapons, blast is a superhuman weapon and therefore scales with CAT and doesn’t become hard by default when used against anomalies.
