SFX: Convert Sound. When using an available sound source to fuel your powers, step up or double a Sound Into Light power for one action, then either shut down that sound source, create a complication tied to sensory overload, or add a die to the Doom Pool.

SFX: Blinding Burst. Add a d6 and step up your effect die when creating a Blinded, Dazzled, or Disoriented complication against a target.

SFX: Turn It Up. Against multiple targets, add a d6 and keep an additional effect die for each extra target.

SFX: Hard-Light Defense. Spend 1 PP to ignore physical stress or trauma unless caused by darkness-based, sonic-disruptive, or precision psychic attacks.

SFX: Holograms. Add a D6 and step up your effect die when using a Sound into Light powerset to create assets or complications.

SFX: Multipower. Use two or more Sound into Light powers in a single dice pool at -1 step for each additional power.

Limit: Needs Sound. Shut down Sound Into Light when Dazzler is in total silence or deprived of usable sound. Gain 1 PP. Recover by restoring sound or activating another loud source.

Limit: Sensory Backlash. Gain 1 PP to step up emotional stress or create a Sensory Overload complication after pushing her light powers too far.

Limit: Public Life. Gain 1 PP when fame, public scrutiny, media attention, or anti-mutant hostility creates trouble for Dazzler or her allies.

Milestones

Mutant Icon

1 XP when you use your fame, music, or public image to help another mutant, protect a vulnerable community, or change the tone of a scene.

3 XP when your celebrity status creates a serious complication for the team, such as media exposure, anti-mutant backlash, unwanted attention, or a divided crowd.

10 XP when you either embrace your role as a public mutant symbol despite the danger, or walk away from the spotlight to protect yourself or someone you love.

The Show Must Go On

1 XP when you keep fighting, performing, or inspiring others after taking stress.

3 XP when you turn a chaotic environment into an advantage by using sound, crowds, music, machinery, explosions, or enemy attacks to fuel your powers.

10 XP when you either win a major conflict by making yourself the center of attention, or choose to stop performing long enough to let someone else take the lead.
