Those who dwell in the Void...well, I guess they're called Voidwalkers.
Basic Abilities
- Restless: Voidwalkers have no need to sleep.
- Shadowy Nature: Gain 50% resistance to shadow damage.
- Control Light: Swift, emanation 20; you decrease light levels by up to one category per rank. This is a magical effect, but is not considered "magical darkness", thus creatures with Darkvision can see through it. Categories:
- Sunlight
- Indoor light
- Dimness
- Darkness
- Gloom: You have an attribute called Gloom. It reflects how much you have tapped into your shadowy nature. By default, it is 0. You gain Gloom when you use your racial abilities. As your Gloom increases, you grow distant from the mortal world, and begin to feel that death and oblivion are inevitable, so why even bother living anymore...
- Face of the Void: At-will, immediate, 1 round, sustain free; your form changes into that of a shadowy monstrosity. Each round you maintain this effect in a given encounter, you suffer 1 point of Gloom per round already sustained (thus: round 1 - 1, round 2 - 3, round 3 - 6, round 4 - 10, etc). You gain the following traits in this form:
- Incorporeal
- Immune to shadow damage
- All melee attacks against you cause heavy disintegration damage (Reflex half, but the attack must be canceled)
- Projectiles suffer heavy disintegration damage on contact, prior to causing damage to you
- Targeted powers are subject to a dispel check before affecting you
Gloom
When your Gloom exceeds your Strain Threshold, you might become despondent and kill yourself or something. I dunno. Don't let it happen.
Removing Gloom
Your Gloom can be removed through the application of life-affirming activities. Rules TBD.
Physical Characteristics
- As base race, plus as modified given your choice of optional abilities.
