Radiation Projection, a Venture City power theme

Radiation Projection

You are a true child of the modern age birthed in the nuclear fires of science.

 

Basic Radiation Projection: Your powers are a result of your radioactive nature, causing the energies of the universe to empower your abilities.

 

Enhancements

 

Magnetar: Your powers aren’t just a result of radiation, you can also use it to bend magnetic fields into powerful disruptors.  By making a Provoke roll against a Fair (+2) obstacle, you can scramble the magnetic fields that drive monitors, motors, and other similar devices that rely on magnetic fields within your zone.  The affected equipment malfunctions, taking a point of physical stress, but isn’t harmed beyond repair.

Ion Surge: You can shut down a device by touching it and flooding it with a surge of ionic radiation.  The device can be restarted after a successful Crafts roll against a Fair (+2) obstacle is made.

Radiation Burn: You can cause some deep tissue damage to anyone you touch.  To cause such an injury to an opponent, you make a Fight attack against a Fair (+2) obstacle to grapple and inflict the harm.  If you succeed with style, instead of taking the shift, you can instead cause a mild physical consequence to the opponent representing the irradiated tissue trauma, otherwise you create an advantage against that target with one free invoke for the scene.

 

Common Power Synergies

 

Energy Blast: You send pulses of radiation at your opponents to debilitating effect.

Telekinesis: Your powers are a form of magnetism that allow you to attract and repel metal objects within range.

 

Drawbacks

 

  • Playing with such high energy particles has a cost, a very dear one: you are Chronically Ill from the damage the radiation has done to your body.
  • Radiation has a lot of drawbacks. Fortunately for you, you don’t suffer them; unfortunately, you cause others around You Give Others Radiation Poisoning.
  • No matter how hard you try, you can’t hide yourself completely. You Always Leak Radiation, making it easy for someone to detect you with the right equipment.

 

Collateral Damage Effects

 

GRB: If you are unconcerned with the effects your powers have on others in your zone, you can cause some seriously lethal energies to flood the area and effectively sterilize it with a gamma ray burst.  Nameless NPCs are killed outright, while named NPCs and PCs can make a Physique roll against a Good (+3) obstacle to avoid a moderate physical consequence from intense radiation.
