Edit

Icy Build-up

Recharge: *

Stress: 1;

Cold

Cold Mastery (Wp)

If you are engaged with an opponent add to your dice pool.

This card remains in play while it has tokens on it. When you make a successful SFX Cold based attack, after you have calculated the damage for that attack you may remove up to SR # of tokens from this card to add +1 damage per token to the final total. When no tokens remain, return this card to your Action deck.

1: Add SR # of tokens to this card, +1 token per success and boon.

!: Add SR # of additional tokens to this card.

++: Recover 1 stress

-: Suffer 1 fatigue

??: The power build up is too much for you to handle; take SR Wounds.

Edit

Icy Deflection

Recharge: 1

Fatigue: 2

Cold, Deflect, React

Prereq: Cold Mastery (Wp)

None

You deflect an attack away with a shield of ice.

After you have been declared the target of a melee or ranged attack, place 1 recharge token on this card to add SR # of

to the attack's dice pool.

If the attack hits you, you have +SR Soak vs its damage.

Edit

Icy Embrace

Cold, Passive

Prereq: Cold Mastery (Wp) trained

This card is always considered to be in play.

You are resistant to temperature extremes, particularly from ice and cold.

You have +(SR x 2) Soak vs. Cold based attacks. If you Soak all the damage from a Cold based attack, you do not take an automatic Wound.

You have +1 Soak vs. Radiation based attacks.

SR1: You are immune to the Slowed condition.

SR2: You have +(SR-1) Soak vs. Fire based attacks.

SR3: When you gain the Delayed condition subtract SR from the number of counters to be added to the Delayed condition before it takes effect.

Edit

Icy Aura

Recharge: (4 + SR)

Fatigue: 1;

Cold, Ongoing

Prereq: Cold Mastery trained

You create a visible shield of icy armor that protects you and also slows your opponents.

You gain +SR Soak while this card is recharging.

You gain +(SRx2) Soak vs Cold while this card is recharging.

While this card is recharging, anyone that is engaged or becomes engaged with you must make a Resilience (To) check vs SR difficulty, or gain the Slowed condition for (SR+1). If you become disengaged and later reengage this effect is applied again.

Icy Armor: As a facilitator costing 1 character point or advance, you can replace the Ongoing Trait with the Toggle Trait.

Edit

Ice Slide

Recharge: 5-SR

Fatigue: 1;

Cold

Cold Mastery (Wp)

You accelerate, riding a slide of ice.

1: You gain +SR movement maneuvers, and you have +1 DEF until your next Beginning of Turn phase. You can "slide down" from elevated positions to lower positions without falling. The ice slide can be targeted and broken as if it were a device, but you can make another one each time you use this Stunt. Your ice slides don't just disappear; they melt away in a reasonable amount of time; this can have a circumstantial effect on your local environment.

++: you have +SR DEF until your next Beginning of Turn phase.

-: Suffer 1 fatigue.

: This Stunt is equivalent to a Movement skill for basic movement needs such as traveling around a few city blocks. However the fatigue cost makes it impractical for long distance travel. Application of the Tireless Facilitator to this Stunt addresses this problem and makes Ice Slide usable as if it were Superrunning (Sliding), using Cold Mastery (Wp) for any necessary checks. It is also still usable as a Stunt for its stated effect.

Edit

Icy Sword

Recharge: (SR+4)

Cold, Ongoing, Edged

You create a one-handed weapon of sharp ice that emanates numbing cold that remains in play while this card is recharging. Your Icy Sword has a Damage Rating equal to (SR+1) and a Critical Rating equal to (7-SR).

I.e., if you had SR 5 your Icy Sword would have DR6 and CR2.

You can attack with your Icy Sword using the Melee action or an equivalent Stunt where noted. Attacks with an Icy Sword add the following result lines:

+: The target must make a Resilience (To) vs SR difficulty check or gain the Slowed condition for (SR)

+: The target must make a Resilience (To) vs SR difficulty check or gain the Impaired condition for (SR)

!: The target gains the Delayed condition for (SR).

??: Shattered: Your Icy Sword shatters; you cannot use it again until it is recharged and replayed.

Edit

Cold Control

Cold, Persisted

Cold Mastery (Wp); Medium Range

Difficulty will vary based upon circumstances and specific usage. Note that a standard bathtub holds approximately 4500 fluid ounces of water, while the minimum volume of an Olympic sized swimming pool is 84,480,000 fluid ounces.

1: while this effect is persisted you may freeze or thaw a volume of standing liquid equal to (SR x 10,000) fluid ounces (or SR x 300 liters, approximately) each Turn.

Each additional success or two boons adds +10,000 fluid ounces (or 300 liters).

Anything encased in ice is trapped in an Entangle with 0 DEF, (SRx2) Soak and SR # of Wounds that takes +1 damage from Fire, and further are subject to suffocation. Sentient and mobile targets may make a Coordination (Ag) check vs. Average (2d) difficulty to avoid being encased each turn they are at risk.

1: You may reduce the rating of any Cold Stunt used in the affected area by SR; if the rating is reduced to 0 or less the effect is nullified.
