Effect
Everyone within five meters (about 16 ft) rolls Dexterity + Athletics at Difficulty 3. A critical win avoids the effect; a normal win loses the current action; failure also knocks the subject prone and requires a turn to stand. Someone prepared for the shock improves their result by one category. The impact can destroy nearby furnishings or flooring, including collapsing a floor above ground level.
