Mega-Migraine

Mega-Migraine (Major) by Taalismn

“Let’s ALL have a moment of skull-splitting agony, shall we?”

This is the Major form of the minor power Migraine; the ability to instantly inflict intense, blinding-pain, headaches on other people. The power now affects a larger area, allowing the superbeing to inflict misery on multiple targets at the same time, and the effects are more potent. The superbeing also no longer has the susceptibility to analgesics.

Range: 60 ft +20 ft per level of experience. Affects a 10 ft wide area per level of experience.

Duration: 1 minute per level of experience

Effect: Victims of Migraine lose Initiative, HALF APMs, are -6 to Perception, Strike, Dodge, and Parry rolls, and are -30% to skill rolls. Any attempt to use psionic abilities while under the influence of this power only DOUBLES the penalties and extends the duration by an extra minute per attempt.

Note: Immediate application of a headache-specific analgesic will mitigate the effects of this power somewhat, HALVING the duration. However, the victim will still be -1 on initiative for 1d6 minutes as a result of lingering discomfiture.

Save: Victims must save as listed below to stave off the effects of Migraine:

Minor/Non-Psychics: 10 or higher

Latent/Major Psychics: 12 or higher

Master/Natural Psychics: 15 or higher
