CONTROL OF ELEMENT
------------------
When you wish to use Control of Element, the GM assigns a difficulty factor
which the player must roll over to perform the action he/she is trying to do.
For example:
Difficulty Target Roll Example (Exertion)
Moronic 2 Float a pillow across a room.
Easy 3-4 Increase the speed of a moving object.
Moderate 5-6 Increase the force of an attack, raising
damage by 50%.
Difficult 7-8 Create a wave of force pushing everything
away from you at high speed.
Insane 9-10 Cause a plane flying overhead to suddenly
smash into the ground.
Master 11-17 Flatten Tokyo to the ground with a super
blast of gravity.
God-like 18-20 Smash the Death Star into a nearby planet.
Depending on the amount of the element present, the GM may assign the player
a bonus or penalty to the roll. For example, a character using Control of
Water in a desert will get a penalty of up to -5 due to the extreme lack of
water. However, the same character using his/her power under the Pacific
Ocean will probably get up to +5 because of the extreme abundance of his/her
element.
There are 5 "levels" of Control of Element. At character creation, it begins
at 1st level and can be raised by power points (15/level) or experience
(150/level). At each new level, the character gets an extra die roll each
time he/she wishes to perform an action using his/her Control of Element.
Level Dice
Novice 1
Adept 2
Master 3
Lord 4
God 5
For example, say I have a character who is an Adept of Earth and he wants to
hurl a boulder at his opponent during battle. The GM gives me a difficulty of
8. I roll 1d10 and get a 4. If he was a Novice, he would have automatically
failed. However, since he is a Veteran, he gets 2 dice. So I roll my second
die and get a 9. I succeed in squishing my opponent into a pancake.
