Hero Style Musical

Hero Style Musical (Major) by Stone Gargoyle, inspired by DtMK

The character has the ability to cause those in his surroundings to stop fighting and break spontaneously into song and dance as if in a Broadway musical. They will continue to sing and dance unless making a saving throw, and any fighting they are forced to do will be choreographed into the song and dance number they are forced to engage in. Music for the song and dance will be generated from nowhere. While hypnotized, they will not attack the character and will move to prevent his harm.

Range: 200 foot radius, plus 50 feet per level of experience

Duration: Concentration, up to the character's ME attribute number in minutes total per hour. Victims are only affected while in range of the character.

Attacks: The character must dance while others are, and so can perform no actions which are not part of the dance and is reduced to half attacks due to needing to sing and dance. The activation of the power uses one melee attack/action and takes one attack/action per round to maintain.

Damage: None except for the desire to participate in the musical, but lose initiative and are reduced to half attacks. All will sing and dance as if possessing the skills at 98%, psionically fed the lyrics and dance moves necessary to perform.

Saving Throw: Victims can save vs. the hypnotic effects (16 or better, ME bonus applies), though earplugs will also prevent the effects. If failing, the victims are helpless to save vs. the effect until it is all over.

Enduring Effects: Future encounters with the character will leave opponents at -4 to all combat moves to fight him even when not under his control, and once they fail to save once, they are -1 to do so for each additional encounter which leads to their hypnosis. There is even a 01-05% chance they will decide to leave their hero or villain life to take up stage performance in musicals, cumulative for each encounter leading to their hypnosis.

Bonuses: Possesses Play Musical Instrument, Singing and Dance skills at 98%.
