Power Voice (Minor) by Mr. Scorpio

The characters normal speaking voice is clear and strong. He is a natural public speaker able to hold the attention of every one who can hear him talk. Characters with this power will often be the center of attention at parties and at some point usually hold some minor political office.

Power of voice Amplification: The superbeing’s voice is deep and booming, as if spoken on a loudspeaker, and is clearly heard at great distances. The desired volume and range can be controlled and done at will at no cost of melee actions. Can be used simultaneously with Power of Command.

Range: 1,600 feet

Awe Factor: 14 anytime he amplifies his voice

Power of Command: Twice per melee the character can issue a simple, attention drawing command. Not a complex set of instructions or plans or something completely contrary to the victim’s nature, but things like, “stop,” “look,” “listen,” “unhand her” and so on. Everybody hearing the command is likely to pause and/or obey, at least for an instant. Anyone who fails to save will be forced to obey and lose one melee attack/action in the process.

Non-Psionics must roll a 15 (including ME bonuses) or higher to save.
Psionics must roll a 12 (including ME bonuses) or higher to save.
Attacks per Melee: May only be used twice per melee and each command counts as one melee attack.
