Alignment Immunity(Minor) by Taalismn

“WHY!? Why couldn’t I pull the trigger and end his despicable evil life when I had the chance?! WHY!?”

This power prevents beings of a specified (fixed) alignment from being able to directly harm the power’s possessor...The antagonist for some reason cannot bring himself to strike or attack the target, feeling a pang of pain, wave of nausea, blanks out for a moment, or otherwise pulls their attack. The actions must be directed AT the target, with deliberate intent, for this power to kick in.
This power does NOT affect area-of-effect attacks aimed at general areas or other people, nor does it affect traps, nor actions carried out by third parties(unless they are also of the proscribed alignment)...Example: Warlord Kron (Aberrant Alignment) cannot bring himself to stab, shoot, or punch Raging Rebel...nor can he launch a missile for the express purpose of obliterating Raging Rebel...He CAN, however, order General Yutz (Miscreant) to ‘bombard every rebel position in that area’, or he can persuade Raging Rebel’s innocent little daughter(third party, Principled alignment) to deliver a ‘gift’ to her daddy....

Note: At Level 8 of this power, the possessor can select a SECOND alignment to be so proscribed.
Note 2: The power Soul Targeting is unaffected by this power.
