Editing MTH:Powers I-P (section)

==JUDGEMENT BRAND==

Class: Alpha 

Cost: 0+ Verve

Dice Pool: N/A

Action: Instant

Range: (Judgement Brand + Power Level) x 4 yards

Area: (Judgement Brand + Power Level) yards

Duration: Instant

Effect: The target feels the weight of their actions come to bear as they experience a psychic montage of their crimes. This causes no harm to those who's karmic burden is light, but it becomes crushing to those who have led a life of immorality.  Subtract the target's Morality from 8.  The remaining number is the amount of lethal damage the target takes.  This damage bypasses general damage reduction such as the Armor power, but not Invulnerability to its damage category.  This power cannot be used on the same target more then once per session, unless the target's Morality drops later that session.  A target with higher Power Level than the character's dots in Judgement Brand is immune.

This power normally has one target. For each point of Verve spent, the character can choose one additional target in the area.

Extras: 

Castigation - The damage is aggravated.

Weaknesses:

Judgement Stare - The character and target must make eye contact for this power to take effect.

Note: If using the God Machine Chronicle rules update, ignore this power, as it does not function in the absence of a Morality Trait.
