Psychic Knack - Crazy Strength, contributed
by Pete Sears
Mesmerist Level 2
"Okay. when i say go. Pull her out from under the car."
Whether you have learned to control your adrenaline or you are simply psychotic.
You have the sort of strength that come from within. while you don't have super
dense muscles like a stalwart power lifter, you how to make the best use of
the musculature that you have.
System: spend 1 point of Inspiration. Take half of the Mesmerist's current
willpower (round up) and apply it to the mesmerists strength score for the rest
of the scene. The Mesmerist will be listless and tired for the next scene (halve
all physical dice pools). Storyteller should be very careful to make players
make strength rolls that could result in ligament tearing and back muscle shredding
injuries. While these injuries won't stop them during the scene they will require
healing when the scene is over. ( Each 1 on a strength botch will cause 1 level
of unsoakable bashing damage which will take effect at the end of the scene,
Large numbers of 1's could result in some Lethal damage as well.) Crazy Strength
is not limited to lifting or crushing and can be used in combat. Strength scores
can go far beyond 5 (but you don't get nifty enhancement like in aberrant. Hefty
might and brawl rolls are reward enough, twink boy).
