Description

“As long as power flows through any of my circuits Megatron, I’ll fight you.”

Optimus’ determination can dishearten one opponent he is able to perceive with an accurate sense. Optimus makes a Persuasion check (DC 11) as a standard action. If successful, the subject must succeed a Will resistance check (with a DC equal to Optimus’ check result up to 21) or become vulnerable (see Conditions) to Optimus’ attacks. The subject must make a new resistance check against this effect as long as Optimus maintains it (as a free action). If the subject succeeds a resistance check or if Optimus ceases to maintain the effect, the vulnerable condition is removed.

The use of this effect is undetectable (although Optimus’ interaction can be detected normally) and an affected target must make a DC 20 Insight check to recognize that their defenses have been reduced by it.
