| - Crushing Assault The Scion spends a legend for a scene, and is able to batter her way past an enemy's defenses with great force and power. the Scion rolls strength + either brawl or melee to brute force her way through combat, eschewing grace and finesse. Thrown and marksmanship remain the strict purview of dexterity, although thrown weapons can still benefit from strength in damage.Brutal Bruiser
Stories abound of heroes so mighty that they could break men's skulls with their fists. The Scion with this Knack may add his Legend rating to the damage dice pool of any unarmed strike he makes. The attack remains bashing damage, however, and the bonus applies only to unarmed striking attacks against opponents. This knack does not make the Scion any stronger when it comes to smashing inanimate objects, or while grappling, for example.Legendary Parry
Prerequisite: Empowered Deflection Just as Scions who dodge attacks do so with fluid movement or blinding speed, the Scion with this Knack may parry or meet blows in an equally heroic manner. As when determining Dodge DV, he may add his Legend dots when determining his Parry DV.With Great Power
Although Scions are quite strong, it is sometime prudent to not hit a physical object or person with quite all of the force you are capable of at any given time. Sometimes a foe needs to be taken alive or not broken to awfully much. It is best to not destroy tomorrow's potential asset. As a Scion inflicts damage, choose how many successes which were rolled will actually apply and which will be ignored. This Knack can be used either with melee weapons or physical martial strikes.Steel Drivin' Man
The name of this knack is derived from the tale of John Henry, and no sexism is intended. Your strength is such that you may rip through walls and solid rock with your bare hands. By rolling Strength + Craft: Mining (or Science: Geology) vs the difficulties below, you may travel at 1/2 your Move rate through solid objects, walls, and debris. Burrowing is a 3 tick, DV-2, rolled action, similar to Dash except slower. Activating this power costs 1 Legend per die roll. You must roll once per minute, and roll again any time the substance being burrowed through switches to a denser / more resiliant (thus higher on the chart) material. Failure on a roll not only stops you from moving, it also causes 1 level of unsoakable bashing damage as you flail your hands too hard. Your tunnels remain open and stable for a number of hours equal to your dots in Epic Strength, then slowly collapse unless reinforced before then by mundane methods.
* Solid rock: 40
* Mortared Rock Walls: 30
* Brick Walls: 20
* Packed Earth: 10
* Loose Surface Soil: 5 (Should the GM need to improvise for a material, a good starting point is 3 time the objects soak / hardness).
