(P6) Hypnotic Voice (38-39) The
hero possesses a voice whose intrinsic qualities permit a hypnotic domination of
the target's conscious and subconscious thoughts. The bulk of the hero's
commands are sub-verbal in nature (it's not what she says, but how she says it). The
hero can effect anyone within the sound of her voice. The optimum effect occurs
within twenty feet of her location. The Power decreases -1CS for each additional
twenty feet. Everyone within range must make an Intuition FEAT in order to
resist falling under the effect of this Power. Failure means complete submission
to the singer's command. Victims of the Power can make a new attempt to resist
every ten turns. The
Power can be used for as long as the hero concentrates on it. If a victim gets
beyond the sound of the Hypnotic Voice, he can attempt to resist every five
turns. The
Power comes in two varieties, automatic and deliberate. The automatic form is a
permanent modification to the hero's voice. Every time she speaks, the Power can
function. The deliberate form requires the hero to consciously alter his voice
to manifest his Power. The player must choose which form the hero has. The
automatic form costs a decrease of -2CS to the Power rank. The
Power's range can be extended by mechanical means like telephones and radio.
Remote control has a decreased effectiveness of -2CS. Reproduction of the
Hypnotic Voice is not quite as dangerous; the overall rank is decreased -4CS. |
