Powers(26 Points)

Strength determines how powerful an effect can be created; Art the grace with which it is done.
Gain 1 essence per strength and art (10).
Every power can also be used defensively.

Mindfire (Pyrokinesis) - Strength 4, Art 2 (16 Points): Usually uses willpower + art to activate. Requires willpower checks to control over a duration.; Flames created on an individual are not dodgeable but can be resisted with willpower tests (difficult). Jets/balls/area bursts are able to be dodged.; Strength: up to a large torch (d4xMF-Strength damage) that readily ignites usual combustibles.; Defensively: reduces multiplier of fire or energy attacks by MF-Strength. Has an AV of MF-Str*2against smaller projectiles. Those within a few feet of you take d6*MF-Str in damage.
Mindhands (Tele-/Psycho-kinesis) - Strength 3, Art 2(13 Points): Intelligence + art to move linearly. Dexterity + art to toss/throw/aim (which can be dodged).; See chart (Arma 228) for mass. At MH-Str 1, max mass is 50 pounds. An object of 10 pounds or less can be flung to deal d4 damage. Dropping a 50 pound object on something deals (d4+1)*1+heightInYards) damage but is very easy to dodge.; Gifted can resist MH with willpower (plus any released essence). Shielding (both) blocks.; Brawling + art for psychic punches (mundanes: difficult dexterity). Influct MF-Str damage.; Can use dexterity skills at a distance, using art + skill, with a penalty; Can add MF-Str to physical Str for lifting or combat purposes.; Strength: See chart.; Defensively: Dexterity + art parrying. Intelligence + art inertial armor for success levels minutes, AV D4*(MF-Str/2). -1 to other tasks wile shield is up.

Pulling strings (Funding [Counter-Culture]) -- 1 level(1 Point?): ConXp88 - willpower + bureaucracy (+ influence) to attempt to have your contacts direct money your direction in some way. Currently $600/month without a roll extra. A successful roll can bring in $6000. Higher results brings more money, and you can lower your target for an easier roll.
