Rating: ⚪⚪⚪
Deed: Upon acquiring a Relic, the player chooses one of his character’s Deeds — personal or band — with which to associate it. If he begins the game with it, it’s associated with the character’s Visitation instead.
Purviews: Passion
Motif: A short phrase that determines the scope of the marvels that a Scion can — and thus, can’t — perform through the Relic. For instance, Eric Donner’s Giantsbane has a motif of “the flash and fury of the thunderstorm.” It can perform Sky marvels that are forceful and flashy, but couldn’t call up a gentle breeze or cause the sun to shine. A Relic’s motif describes the concept of its Legend, like a Legendary Title does for a Scion.
Knack:
- Somebody's Watching Me: A Scion’s Godly parent has eyes and ears everywhere, and even if they don’t Visit their child, they’re often ready to lend a hand to aid their child in need. During a scene where the Scion would be in danger, their parent sends in reinforcements, usually resulting in either two Mooks or one Professional (see Scion: Origin p. 143 for more on Archetypes) to fight on their side. These allies leave at the end of the scene, however.
Irresistible Impulse
Cost: Imbue 1 Legend; Duration: Condition; Subject: One Character; Range: Medium; Action: Simple
You fill a character’s heart with an emotion of your choice. They gain a Condition based on that emotion — Mad as Hell, Lovestruck, Too Sad to Function, or something similar. The exact effect of the Condition may vary based on the chosen emotion, but as a generic effect, the target takes +3 Difficulty when they take an action that the Storyguide deems is directly contrary to the emotion — it’s hard to treat someone politely while Mad as Hell, or to commit to a fistfight while Lovestruck. Other characters gain Enhancement 3 on rolls to detect the inflamed emotion. This Condition can be resolved by taking a significant action with the potential for consequences that is motivated by the emotion — starting a bar fight, asking someone out, or skipping work would count. It also ends if you reclaim the Legend imbued in this Boon.
Flaws:
- Relic only functions if it is played first which takes a single action. ⚫⚫
- Relic must be used with two hands. ⚫
