Stunts and Extras

Lie Whisperer

+2 to all Empathy rolls made to discern or discover lies, whether they’re directed at you or someone else.

Shadow in the Crowd

You may use Contacts as opposed to Stealth when attempting to hide in social situations / large crowds due to knowing how to go unseen in group situations and crowds.

Power: Power Nullification

You can render your zone inhospitable to the use of magic. If someone attempts to use magic in your zone, and that power prompts opposition, increase its opposition by +2. If the magic doesn’t prompt opposition, they must overcome a Fair (+2) obstacle with Will to use it. This nullification field does not affect you, and you can dismiss it at will. Additionally, you always know who around you is magic user and generally what their magical abilities are.

Drawback: Always On - Power Nullification is not so much a spell, but a state of being for Rosalie. She cannot turn off this power and it persist even while unconscious or asleep. Friendly casters must keep their distance when trying to get their own spells off and casting helpful magic on her is quite difficult due to this state of being.

Collateral Damage: Dragon's Curse - By concentrating, you can unleash a burst of energy that strikes at the heart of a magical individual. A nameless NPC with magical powers gets taken out instantly, while magic-powered named NPC or PCs must either take a mild consequence or lose access to their magic entirely until the end of the scene. This energy blast resonates throughout the area, causing everyone there—whether they have magical powers or not—to become dazed and disoriented.

Wealth and Resources: Familiar Face:

You are known within your social circles. Once per session, upon meeting an NPC in your social circle, you may mark off a Wealth and Favor box to declare that you have met them before and create an aspect with one free invoke to represent your prior relationship.
