Power Overflow (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 Overflow

Your problem has never been your lack of power. Power comes to you in abundance. Instead, it is control you lack - when your concentration breaks, your power flows wildly.

Limitation

Power overflow never causes you power loss. When you roll very low when using powers, they flare spectacularly. If your skill check for a power scores a result lower or equal to your Mind, your power misfires, a setback.

The usual effect is an explosion affecting you and all adjacent creatures. Make a separate attack roll using your skill value for the task that caused a power overflow,. This does the damage type associated with the Form you used. The GM is free to introduce a normal setback instead.

Focus Condition

You do not focus per se with the Overflow method. Instead, you can use any Limit Break that is an area power as if you were focused. In effect, you are always focused in regard to these effects.
