Apocalyptic (Major) by Stone Gargoyle
"This is the end of the world as you know it."
The superbeing can manipulate reality to make a target's world come crashing down around him in a way similar to a curse.
1. Devastating Blow: The superbeing alters the target's reality the moment he touches him, whether by striking him in combat or shaking his hand.
- Saving Throw: These effects can be saved against by dodging or by the target or anyone affected making their respective saves vs. reality manipulation (14 or better, PE bonus applies, +1 at levels 4, 8 and 12).
- Effects:
- Death of Loved Ones: Regardless of their health, family members who do not save against the effect become marked for death. How they die can be decided by the GM, but typically those driving will fall asleep and crash, those at home will die in a fire, those swimming will drown, and those on a plane or boat will die as the vehicle crashes (taking numerous innocent people with them). Even if failing their save, there is always a 30% these family members will survive. This power will affect pets as well as people.
- Financial Loss: The target will lose their job due to downsizing or some other bogus reason. In addition, their bank account(s) will be frozen and credit cards canceled as they come under federal investigation. Their property will also be seized by the bank. Alternatively, if they do not use banks, the target's money will be destroyed and their house burned down, often with their loved ones inside (see above).
2. Other Abilities and Bonuses:
- +4 to save vs. magic, with an immunity to death spells
- Impervious to powers which influence the death of others, such as Death Aura
- +20% to save vs, coma/death
- +2 to save vs. karma manipulation powers
- +3d6 PPE
- Critical strike on 17-20
