Unstoppable Charge

By Steve Markley (smarkley@ocean.otr.usm.edu) for the Baku

Level Three Shiva Baku Gift

Description

The Baku can begin charging at a target within his line of sight and continue going, even through walls or other barriers. He cannot be stopped unless he reaches his target, meets an object he cannot smash, dies en route, or chooses to end the Gift. He spends a point of Willpower and begins running at full speed toward his intended victim. He will always charge in a straight line toward his victim as long as he is within visual range (even if the target runs behind a wall or is obscured from sight.) The Baku can turn on a dime if necessary to maintain a straight charge to the target (assuming the target teleported behind him, the Baku would do a complete 180' and continue toward the victim; however, if he teleported several miles away, he would be out of the Baku's visual range and the Baku would stop charging.) He can cancel the Gift at will and come to a complete stop within 5' if necessary (to keep from falling in a pit or running into a lake), though he will have to activate the Gift again. Any barriers between him and his target (trees, walls) take double trample damage, which should be enough to blow through most anything; if this isn't the case, the Baku inflicts his own trample damage on himself and the Gift ends.) Once the Baku reaches his target, he inflicts normal trample damage and the Gift ends.
