Earth Projection
You channel the raw elemental powers of the earth itself.
Basic Earth Projection: Your powers are infused with rocks, soil, dust, or other elements from the ground.
Enhancements
Gaia’s Gift: You can’t suffocate when encased in soil, rocks, etc. It doesn’t matter how you got buried.
Rock Hard: It’s like you’re made of stone. Whenever anyone physically attacks you, they take 1 physical stress.
Rooted: People find it hard to knock you off your feet or move you without your consent. You meld with the ground just enough to maintain your balance, gaining a +2 to Athletics rolls.
Common Power Synergies
Super Toughness: You are hard to damage because your skin is literally made of rock.
Phasing: Because you are so attuned to the ground, you can pass through materials as if they weren’t there, giving you an element of surprise.
Improved Special Effects
Strength of the Mountain: So long as you remain in contact with the ground, you strength is enhanced beyond your body’s limits. Gain a +4 to Physique rolls to pin or otherwise maintain a hold on a target.
Drawbacks
- Your affinity for the earth is so strong that you are Acrophobic and will do just about anything to avoid losing that connection to the ground.
- Given the nature of geology, you tend to think on geologic scales. To others, this makes you appear Indecisive.
- Your body actually is harder than the average person’s, meaning you are often Slow to React and don’t like change.
Collateral Damage Effects
Earthquake: Your sympathies with the ground allow you to unleash shockwaves through the ground, causing the zone to shake, crashing it down upon those within. Nameless NPCs are killed while Named NPCs and PCs make an Athletics roll against a Fair (+2) obstacle or suffer a moderate physical consequence from the falling detritus.
