Fear is the Mind Killer

When you complete this conjugate, you target a creature within at least 10+ 2•fp metres.

Fear is the Mind Killer

Industry: Neuronetics
Actions: conjugate(main-act, 4fp) imp(sv,Insight,8+M*) | chk(CC-S) +M* on 1(tg), 10+2•fp(range) then cond,driven (see text) for 1 min

If the targeted creature fails an Insight save (or you overcome its CC-S), it will suffer twice your conjugate effect roll in fp damage and trigger an insanity mishap, as well as:

  • if its a biological creature, your visage becomes the most fearsome thing they have seen, and they are overcome with mind-bending terror. They will move from you at the fastest possible speed. If that movement sends them straight over a cliff, or into a pool of lava, better that than facing you.

  • and its a software system or neural net, you will induce a kind of system paralysis.

If they are not driven insane through mishap, the target can attempt the save again at the start of their next turn, if they succeed, the conjugate effect ends.

If the target is a software system or neural net, an engineer can repair the system with an imp(chk,Bypass (Neuronetics),10+M*), followed by a Disable action.
