Overcharge
Teachable by The Doctor
A Generator you damage gives the next repairer a hard Skill Check and regresses further.
Description
"You are fuelled by your hate for progress."
Performing the Damage Generator action on a Generator applies Overcharge:
- The next Survivor interacting with that Generator is faced with a difficult Skill Check.
- Instantly regresses that Generator by 2/3/4 % of its maximum possible Progression in addition to the default Progression penalty.
After Overcharge is applied to a Generator, the following effect also applies:
- Increases the Regression speed from 85 % to 130 % of its default value over the next 30 seconds.
