Superhero Roleplaying in a World on Fire, 1936-1946
High-Realism Power Packages
 

"They used their powers, we used our guns. They fought in groups; we sniped at them from lone positions. They exposed themselves; we hid. It was all a matter of ego, really. They killed themselves by believing in themselves too much." — First Lieutenant Mike "Sun Boy" Reynolds, after the destruction of SS Uberkommandogruppen Heinrich Himmler at Spa, 27 December 1944.

 

PANIC ATTACK

This power allows the user to perform exceptionally under trying conditions. When terrified, the Talent can move super-swiftly, accomplishing many actions at once.

Multiple Actions 10d (10 Points)
(Attacks, Defends, Robust 4/8/16)
Flaw: Blunt –1/2/4
Flaw: Mental Strain –2/4/8
Flaw: State of Mind [Terror] –1/2/4

Super-Speed 10d (10 Points)
(Attacks, Defends, Robust 4/8/16)
Flaw: Attached to Body –1/2/4
Flaw: Exhausting –1/2/4 [Like Mental Strain, but Shock damage to Torso instead]
Flaw: State of Mind [Terror] –1/2/4

Total 20 Will Points.

THE POWER OF 'NO'

This power takes the phrase 'No means no' to a whole new level.

Block 4d (8 Points)
(Defends, Robust 3/6/12)
Flaw: Nervous Habit [Must shout "NO!"] -1/2/4

Harm 4d (12 Points)
(Attacks, Defends, Useful Outside of Combat, Robust 5/10/20)
Extra: Knockback +2/4/8
A successful roll causes the target to be flung back width in yards.

Flaw: Jumpy -1/2/4
Flaw: Nervous Habit [Must shout "NO!"] -1/2/4
Flaw: Shock Damage Only -2/4/8

Total 20 Will Points.

PUNCHOUT

This package gives the character the ultimate edge in fisticuffs.

Go First 3 (3 Points)

Hyperskill: Brawl 5d (5 Points)

Stun 3d+3wd (15 Points)
(Attacks, Defends 3/6/12)
Flaw: Attached to Brawl –1/2/4
Flaw: Touch Only –1/2/4

Total 23 Will Points.

REWIND TIME

This Talent allows its possessor to rewind time for very short periods. If shot through the head, the user can rewind time and dodge the shot. It can be used to help others by rewinding their time as well.

Sidestep 6d+1Wd (20 points)
(Defends, Useful Outside of Combat, Robust 4/8/16)
Side Effect: Anyone watching sees you 'snap back' to prior status when power is activated.
Extra: Extend to Others +2/4/8 [Rewinding Time is a multiple action; must have dice for each person so defended, including self.]
Flaw: Beacon –4/8/16

Total 20 Will Points.

SNAPSHOT

Another wrinkle on Precognition. This Talent presents mental 'snapshots' (like the instant cameras of a later day) of threats to the Talent and their teammates. It only works defensively; there is no trance method for this one.

Precognition 5d+1 Wd (18 Points)
(Defends, Useful Outside of Combat, Robust 3/6/12)
Extra: Fleetness of Vision +2/4/8 [By keeping the Precognitive Flash very brief, this cuts the Power's Will point costs down to 1 Will point per die thrown, regardless of type.]
Extra: Mothering +1/2/4
Flaw: Mental Strain –2/4/8
Flaw: Static Images –2/4/8

Total 18 Will Points.
