Instant Fortress

Cost: Spend 1 Legend
Duration: One scene
Subject: 1 Area
Action: Reflexive
Thick walls, pillars and elevations appear in your Area. They make ingress difficult, and provide cover to you and your allies while they are in this Area.

If there are no enemies in an Area, you may spend a legend to apply the Fortified (Moderate) Area Effect the a single Area. This makes moving into the area a Difficulty 2 roll. Additionally, the area you are in gains the Area Effect.

If, during a scene, you are forced to vacate this area. The current occupants of this area benefit from this effect instead.

Fortified (Moderate)

Fortified (Moderate)

The Area has sturdy, defensible structures, granting an advantage to defenders and making life difficult for the attackers. Fortified might also cover an Area strewn with a large amount of cover or other obstructing terrain.

Complication

This Complication applies to all ranged attack actions or demolitions actions using Science or Technology.

Consequence

Failing to buy off this Complication results in ranged attack actions targeting the scenery in addition to (or instead of) the character they intended to target. Failing to do so on a demolition action risks the shockwave of the explosion backfiring on the user, resulting in appropriate Injuries.
