The Small Spark for Wormy the Death Scarf

Post by Wormy »

No idea what this character's name is...But for now, his name is Wormy (because Zembahk) the Death Scarf (because he intends to wrap himself around the biggest, meatiest ally around and rain death down upon his enemies).

Wormy the Death Scarf is an Expert Blaster. But, no, that is not enough. He needs to be a Master Blaster. (I realized mid-post that Master Blaster is Legendary and therefore not an option :( ) He is driven to impress his deity, the Mighty Bay, by creating the biggest, loudest, most deadly of explosions. The Small Spark is just the boost he needs...
The Small Spark
It is said that the Mighty Bay once used a powerful artifact to turn the tide of battle against humanities most deadly ancient adversary. The automatons were impossibly more advanced than humanity at that time, but with His explosive power and the artifact, the Mighty One destroyed them all.

Today, all that is left is but a tiny shard, the Small Spark, but even this little fragment is imbued with explosive power. He who wields the Small Spark has unrivaled power over his or her destructive abilities. Today, that someone is Wormy.

Combat-Relevant Edges & Abilities:
  • Arcane Marksman: If the caster doesn't move in a turn and activates no more than a single bolt or similar damage dealing power as her first action, she may add a +1 bonus to her Arcane Skill roll, or ignore up to 2 points of penalties from Called Shots, Cover, Scale, or Speed.

Did you forget a free trapping? Maybe this also makes you a Line Walker as part of its trapping?
  • 2D6 EFFECT
    2 Catastrophe: Something goes terribly wrong. The GM must decide what, but some ideas are a new and permanent Minor Hindrance, the inability to use powers for several days, or an explosion of some sort. The backlash should be thematic if possible. If the hero tampers with dark forces for his abilities, for example, he might become corrupted or summon something sinister into the world. If he’s a weird scientist the device might explode for 3d6 damage in a Medium Blast Template, or he might develop a Quirk, Phobia, or other “madness.”

    3 Backfire: The power succeeds as with a raise but affects a different target with the worst possible results. A bolt hits a random friend, boost Trait increases an enemy’s skill or attribute, etc. If there’s no likely target, he’s Stunned instead. If the power has a Duration other than Instant, it lasts its full term and can only be negated by dispel (the caster can’t voluntarily end it herself).

    4–5 Short Circuit: The power fails but the Power Points allocated to it are spent, along with an additional 1d6 Power Points.

    6–8 Stunned: The caster is Stunned (see page 106). She subtracts 2 from arcane skill rolls for the rest of the encounter (the penalty remains –2 even if she gets this result again).

    9–10 Overload: The character’s synapses crackle and overload with power. He takes 2d6 damage plus the cost of the power in Power Points, including any Power Modifiers the player declared.

    11 Fatigue: The character suffers Fatigue.

    12 Overcharge: The power draws ambient energy from the air, automatically succeeding against the target with a raise and costing the caster no Power Points!

Of course not, Rob! It shimmers with power and sparks arc across the surface upon closer inspection. Its right there in the build notes.

No, I think it is fine. But I needed to troll you for a bit.
