By gathering and condensing the spirit surrounding a creature (or herself), she boosts the earth's pull on the target. The target is burdened as though hauling the average weight of a creature one or more Sizes larger and also gains the hampered condition.

Being immensely encumbered does have its benefits. In contests of strength, the creature receives a bonus to Might checks to resist a Slam or Trip attempt, and the DL to lift the target skyrockets. Carrying so much weight also has its drawbacks: additional falling damage, the collapse of supports (e.g. harnesses, scaffolding, bridges), and if the target is climbing or attempts to climb, it must succeed at a Might check to hoist its burden.

Concentration Effects

The Size of weight with which the spirit artist can burden a creature depends on the Concentration.

  1. Size +1
