Effect
You must touch the target (requires melee attack roll if unwilling). They must roll Resist (see below) or be Paralyzed (cannot take physical actions) for 5 Ticks.
Resist
GRIT + Resilience vs. your Channeling Sum.
Steps
+3 Ticks duration per Step.
Special
Target can still speak, see, and use purely mental abilities — the paralysis is muscular, not neurological. This distinguishes Paralytic Touch from Marrow Lock (which targets bones) and Bone Cage (which encages the skeleton).
