Imbue Death (Action Powers)

Main article: Powers (Action)

Death Grip

Basic Action

Make a Clinch attack. If successful, you lock your opponent in a death grip. A death grip can only be broken if you go unconscious, suffer a Setback, or attack another creature with the limb you did a death attack with.

Once you have the target in a death grip, you can use the power again to attack your held target, and automatically hit. Even if your attack misses, it still does damage - you still add the outcome, which is now negative, causing less than the base damage.

If your Body scores are within 1 point of each other, you cannot move with a basic action, but can move both of you your Move as a Basic Action. If either of you have 2 or more Body higher than your opponent, the stronger one can move normally, carrying the weaker one around like a rag doll.

Death Strike

Inherent

You can make melee attacks that do Body +4 Infection damage, soaked by Toughness. Infection damage has special rules for inflicting hits and recovery.

Death Touch

Stance (Damage Boost)

You can imbue a Melee or Shoot attack with an additional type of damage. The damage is resisted by the worst soak value of either attack. This is the same as the Melee Weapon ability Dual Damage. Death Touch does Infection damage soaked by Body. Objects and creatures such as robots and undead without a metabolism are immune.

Draining Attack

Inherent

You can make melee attacks that do Body +0 Enervation damage, soaked by Body. Infection damage has special rules for inflicting hits and recovery. In addition, a living target that takes a Hit also loses one point in an attribute selected when the power is bought. This damage lasts until the end of the session and can be healed as if they were Hits.

Eyes of the Tiger

Basic action

Make a Normal Melee Attack. If the target takes any damage, he loses any focus he might have.

Ghost Strikes

Stance

You make all your Melee attacks immaterial. An immaterial attack does mind blast damage equal to your Mind, soaked by the target's Mind. You ignore the damage value of any attack you use, but you can still take advantage of other aspects of schticks and powers.

Point Blockage

Finisher

The foe does not suffer a Damage Setback and is instead paralyzed. The victim retains all of his senses while paralyzed but is otherwise completely helpless. This is a Curse.

Shadowfist

Finisher, Focus

If you knock out a living opponent and use this finishing move, you become focused. The opponent is not dead, but becomes torn by an intense fever and will die in three days unless cured by you or the Curse is removed.

Soul of Death

Inherent

You can use your body to do melee attacks that do Mind +2 Infection damage, or more if you are using an Implement to improve damage.

Storm of the Tiger

Limit Break

Make an attack, adding your Mind attribute to the damage inflicted.

Vengeance of the Tiger

Trigger Action

When you are hit in hand-to-hand combat, you may immediately launch a Melee counterattack against the opponent who just hit you. If you took any damage, add +3 to your attack roll.

Wounding Strike

Inherent

You can use your body to do melee attacks that do Mind +2 - or more if you are using an Implement to improve damage. This is Wounding damage which has special rules. Non-living creatures and objects (such as robots and doors) are immune, but Undead always soak this damage using Body alone - no armor or resist powers will work for them.
