Effect
Lock eyes with a single target within Near range. Make an opposed Force check vs. the target’s GRIT + Resilience. If you win, choose one:
- The target drops their weapon.
- The target backs down and withdraws.
- The target freezes (Stunned for 3 Ticks).
This is not supernatural — it’s the weight of a killer’s gaze.
Resist
The opposed roll is the resist (GRIT + Resilience vs. your Force). Additionally, targets with Mettle remaining may spend 1 Mettle to negate the effect entirely (they stare right back).
