Back to the Nihilic Exalted
Back to Charms
Strength: Attack Enhancement Charms
Void Pulse Approach Technique</b>
<b>Cost: 3 motes, Mins: Strength 4, Essence 2, Type: Supplemental Keywords: Combo-OK, Mirror (Wind-Wings Carry Technique, pg 142) Duration: Instant Prerequisite Charms: Any Strength Excellency
The Void howls within the hearts of the Nihilic Exalted, calling to be set free. Upon activating this Charm, the character choose a spot to fire his weapon towards, names a target who must be within (Essence x3) yards of that spot. In the case of unarmed or Melee attacks, the target must be within (Essence x2) yards. The character and the target then make opposed Strength + Athletics rolls; objects are considered to have the Strength + Athletics rating required to break them. If the Nihil wins the roll, the target is dragged to the spot the weapon was launched towards, and is then attacked normally. If the target wins, the weapon is dragged to the target's location - if used with a Melee attack, the character must either follow the weapon, being pulled along, or release it.
There must be a clear path between the target and the point they are pulled towards; if an object blocks their path, they will be stopped without taking damage and the attack will miss automatically.
Insidious Tendrils of Darkness Technique</b>
<b>Cost: 2 motes, Mins: Strength 4, Essence 2, Type: Supplemental Keywords: Combo-OK, Mirror (Agitation of the Swarm Technique, pg 142) Duration: Instant Prerequisite Charms: Any Strength Excellency
The attacks of the Nihilic Exalted cannot be overcome; every attempt to defend against them simply renders one further vunerable to future attacks. Whenever an attack supplemented by this Charm fails to strike its target, that target suffers a -1 general penalty to her Defense Values until her Defense Value refreshes. This can supplement multiple attacks in a flurry, applying penalties to defense to each future attack.
All-Consuming Void Strike</b>
<b>Cost: 4 motes, Mins: Strength 4, Essence 2, Type: Supplemental Keywords: Combo-OK, Mirror (Ferocious Biting Tooth, pg 142) Duration: Instant Prerequisite Charms: Any Strength Excellency
The Nihil's blow is all-consuming, chewing past any attempt to block it. This Charm functions as per Ferocious Biting Tooth.
Void Swallows The Prepared</b>
<b>Cost: 7 motes, Mins: Strength 5, Essence 4, Type: Supplemental Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious, Mirror (Lightning Stroke Attack, pg 142), Affinity Duration: Instant Prerequisite Charms: Insidious Tendrils of Darkness Technique, All-Consuming Void Strike
As the character lashes out, the Void within her heart cries, prepared to overwhelm any defense that her opponent might muster. This Charm enhances any attack. If the attack is successfully defended against, the character still deals (Essence + Strength) dice of damage (to a maximum of the base damage of the attack) to her target. This damage ignores hardness. (As usual, an applicability-trumping defense prevents this damage from being dealt.)
Furthermore, the Void within the Nihil resonates within the souls of those it touches. If the Nihil shares Affinity with her target, and the attack deals at least one die of post-soak damage, her target suffers a -1 general penalty to her DV for the remainder of the scene, as she finds it harder to ignore the reality of her doom. This is an Emotion effect that cannot be resisted with Willpower.
