Powers:

  • Telepathic Suggestion: Cassandra has an Ex (20) rank telepathic power that makes her opponents underestimate her (any susceptible mind within one area that fails a Psyche FEAT against her power’s rank). This typically manifests itself with a bit of role-playing on Cassandra’s part, when people believer she is no more than a harmless old woman.
  • Telepathy: Cassandra has Ex (20) rank telepathic power to read people’s memories. She can also use this mental power in ways similar to Proctor’s "Chemical Control" power.
  • Eye blasts: Cassandra’s most potent power is her psionic eyebeams, usually kept hidden behind a wide red visor. Am (50) force damage, 2 area range. Effects living beings’ brains and central nervous systems, causing victims to suffer as if hit by both force and energy attacks. After exposure, victims’ FASE -1 CS (-2 if End FEAT failed) for 1-10 turns. Non humans do not incur this effect. Focus attack on single individual or fire widely, effecting all targets in her area and one adjacent area of her choice at -2 CS.

Background:

Cassandra is the most bitter, ruthless, and cruel of the Gatherers. A wizened old crone, she appears to be a small and weak old woman, but her aged body is incredibly powerful. She wields immense power with abandon, enjoying the pain and suffering it inflicts on her victims.

She appears to delight in finding out hidden ugly secrets, using her telepathy. She seems to have been a Gatherer the longest, and assumes the role of tactical leader when on a Gathering.
