MET LARP SRD
(2013 BNS MET System)
Burning Touch
Valeren • Level 2
You have a warrior’s spirit, and can inflict agony on those you assault. Any target who falls victim to your Burning Touch is consumed by pain.
Cost
1 Blood
Focus
Wits
Those who have felt your Burning Touch have its agony seared into their subconscious. The threat of torture from a Valeren wielder gives even the most stoic character a reason to reconsider her stubbornness. Anyone who has been affected by your Burning Touch suffers a -5 penalty to resist Intimidation-based interrogation challenges. This effect cannot be used to augment supernatural powers.
System
Use a standard action to Grapple a target. If you are successful, spend 1 Blood to inflict Burning Touch on a victim, as well as inflicting all the standard effects of the Grapple combat maneuver. Thereafter, the target suffers a -3 penalty to all actions until your next everyman initiative. If you are currently grappling your target, you can activate Burning Touch simply by spending 1 point of Blood and using a simple action.
Burning Touch inflicts pain on anyone who is touching you, but individuals who are not grappled can simply fl inch away before suffering penalties. If another character is touching or grappling you when you spend 1 Blood to activate Burning Touch, that individual may choose either to let go or to suffer the effects of Burning Touch and receive its -3 penalty until your initiative during the next everyman round.
Powers that allow an individual to resist pain do not overcome the pain caused by Burning Touch, unless specifically noted in that power’s description.
