Powers
Fulcrum Shift
Fulcrum shift drains the power of a targeted foe and all foes nearby, transferring it to all adjacent allies, the caster, and those near the caster. Affected foes will deal less damage, while your affected allies will deal more. The more foes that are affected, the more power your allies receive. Fulcrum Shift can dramatically turn the tide of a melee battle.

Increase Density
Increases an ally's mass, freeing them from any Disorient, Immobilization, or Hold effects and leaving them resistant to such effects for a while. Increase Density also protects the target from Knockback, Repel, and enemy Teleportation, as well as Smashing and Energy damage. Because the target grows more dense, their movement speed is Slowed. Although the Damage Resistance and Slowing effects will not stack with multiple applications, the rest of the effects of Increase Density will. You cannot use this power on yourself.
|
Editor's Note: The status protection / resistance components of Increase Density remain single target. Only the damage resistance component has been made into an AOE effect. |
