●●● -- SHIELD OF THE RIGHTEOUS

Dice Pool: None.
Cost: 1 Divinity + 1 Willpower
Description: This Power can protect an innocent victim from suffering someone else’s due punishment. The Avatar cries out against the injustice—a simple “He didn’t do it!” will suffice—and spends the Divinity and Willpower point. Doing so, she renders the next action that would inflict harm on the innocent victim completely impotent, obviating any damage that action should inflict. Whether the victim is being stabbed by a jealous wife, shot by a firing squad, lynched by a mob, hurled off a cliff by a duped Avatar vigilante or whatever, he suffers no damage from that action.

For the Power to work, the Avatar must be present at the site of the unjust punishment, and the victim must actually be innocent.
