Power Misfire (Action)

Heroic Action Role-Play

This is a Method for using Powers in Action. Methods are a part of Traditions and define how Powers are used in each campaign.

Power Misfire

Your powers can cause you setbacks or activate outside of your control. This is similar to Echoes, but relates to specific powers. Some applications are also similar to Mundane Form.

Limitation

This limitation does not cause your powers to fail, instead making them activate by accident.

Decide on a trigger when your powers misfire; this can be anything. Typical examples can be when you roll snake eyes, when hit by a certain kind of attack, or when you see the full moon for the first time tonight. When this condition occurs, one of your powers misfires. Generally, this is the same or a similar power misfiring in the same way each time. Misfires are Setbacks and generally detrimental to you, tough they can sometimes have positive side effects. The chosen power is generally a Limit Break. Examples include a Fireball exploding in your face, an involuntary change into an Alternate form, or an accidental Demon Summoning.
