Description
By using the
empathic skill of
Dissolution, some Dark Minions can convert
themselves to a gelatinous form and then restructure
afterward. This device projects that same effect
onto a target creature, and can leave it in that
state or restore it later, at the user's whim. A
target can survive
Dissolution for a number of turns equal to its
Constitution; after that period of time it dies.
The deliquescer incorporates just enough
empathic biological elements to operate in tandem with a mechanical
powering and targeting system. It is aimed like any other weapon
and, when fired, envelops its target in a shimmering empathic field
that dissolves the creature one phase later. Because this is a type
of empathic attack, living creatures may make an Easy test of
Willpower to avoid the effects. If this test is successful, the
field dissipates after one turn without dissolving the target.
Note that once disincorporated, only Dark
Minions that already have the
Dissolution skill can recover.
The size of the field generated by the
deliquescer is one meter in radius (i.e., slightly more than
human-sized). |
