Soul Targeting(minor) by Taalismn

“Only the Guilty Need Fear the Fires of Zulak!”

This power is applied to other attacks, modifying them for effect. With this power up, the super-being’s attacks will only affect beings of a specific alignment-type(Good, Selfish, Evil) and does double damage to one specific alignment(Principled, Anarchist, Aberrant, etc...) of the being’s selection. For all others, the attack does NO damage(energy blast passes harmlessly through the person, the mega-punch feels like a fluttering slap, etc...). The attack does normal damage to materials. The justification for this will have something to do with the superbeing’s attitudes and personality; hates goody-two-shoes-preacher-style goodniks, hates self-serving mercenaries, enraged by thieving liars, etc....
The downside of this power is that it taxes the superbeing’s psyche and strains their physical endurance as the power ‘audits’ the alignments of people around the superbeing, and constantly restrains/enables the being’s powers.

Duration: 5 minutes per level of experience
Penalties: Superbeing fatigues TWICE as fast with this power on, and is -1 to save versus psychic attack during the duration.
