Projective Praise

Projective Praise (minor) by Taalismn

“Pretty Soldier Luna, Fear Not! For Your Cause is Just and Love will Alwa---”
“KICK HER ARSE, DEMONA! YOU GOT -SKILLZ-!!!”

The superbeing possessing this power can bolster the spirits and enhance the performance of another person with an encouraging word(or phrase) directed at them. Whether it’s a subconscious transfer of strength, or merely the power of positive feedback, the recipient of the praise will generally feel stronger, more confident, and willing to give the task at hand that extra ounce of effort, or one more go. The praise is an AUDITORY transmission; thus the intended target must be able to HEAR the shouted praise. This power can also be jammed or blocked out by Sonic powers or high levels of ambient noise.

Range: 100 ft +10 ft per level of experience, line of sight(only half as effective if the user cannot see the target of this power).

Number of Targets: Can only use the power on one person initially, but at levels 4, 8, and 12, can include one other person in this power.

Duration: 1 melee, plus 1 additional melee at levels 4, 8, and 12.

Effects:The superbeing can choose to affect the target of this power in one of the following ways:

Combat: The target gets a +1 to Initiative, a +1 to Strike/Parry, and +1 to Damage

Mental Endurance: The target gets a bonus of HALF the praiser’s MA to save vs Insanity, Pain, and Possession.

Physical Endurance: The target ignores any fatigue penalties for the melee they are being praised, and gets a bonus of HALF the praiser’s MA to save vs Coma/Death.

Strength: The Target temporarily gets a +1d6 bonus to their Strength

Skill Performance: The target gets a % bonus of HALF the praiser’s MA to their skill rolls, however applicable(example: Detcord gets a case of the shivers while trying to defuse an Omega Bomb, but Celestial Choir, standing behind him, whispers encouragingly to him ‘You know you can do this; you’ve trained all your life for this moment...”. Heavenly Choir has an MA of 24; that translates as a +12% to Detcord’s Demolitions Disposal skill; his hands steady again, his faith in himself renewed, Detcord gets back to the task of dismantling the doomsday device....).

Other Bonuses: The power possessor has a loud, clear, voice, and never suffers from normally-induced sore throats.
