[FOCI]
Translation Codex
Translation can put us in interesting situations. These are Strangers fortunate enough to find themselves in the position of nobles and other rulers, granted the authority and majesty of their titles. These petty tyrants often go a bit too far for my tastes, but if it gets the job done I'm all for taking advantage of one's power.
Just watch out for their temper. Power rarely makes for cool heads among those with something to prove.
One of your foes is paralyzed with fear, unable to move for one round.
One of your foes flees in terror at your presence.
You begin with the Position long-term benefit as a ruler or heir apparent of the local region.
Your Effort rating is effectively one higher this round.
You are trained in intimidation tasks.
With but a look you render someone speechless for 1d6 rounds.
You give a single-word command to a target, who must immediately fulfill it. The Edict cannot be suicide, but nearly any other dangerous action is possible.
Those of lower station are not willing to question your authority when in your presence. You enjoy an asset on all intimidation tasks.
All NPCs of 5th Level or lower automatically follow your commands without the need for a roll, so long as you are within your Position's domain.
GM Intrusion: You stumble or otherwise humble yourself before a crowd, taking away your ability to use this focus during this encounter.
