Fully invisible EGO drain - what would be the symptoms (if any)?

Hello all,

As a GM, I have created a siren-type NPC who has a fully invisible EGO drain only vs. men.

I'm curious - what would the male heroes feel (if anything)?

Would they feel just more susceptible to suggestions or would they not feel anything until she uses one of her mental powers on them?

Thank you!

Invisible power effects only conceal the activity, source, path target, special effect and intensity.  It does not ever conceal the target effect or the source effect (if any).   The target effect is the effect of the power on the target.  So, the target would know his ego is being drained, but would not know who is doing it or how.

If I am reading the rules correctly, you can (with GM permission) buy powers that the target is not aware of taking place as well.

For a +¼ Advantage, a character can make the Target Effect of any Power Inobvious to the target himself (but not other characters). This means the target won’t know he’s hurt (or otherwise affected) unless he succeeds with a PER Roll (for example, he won’t know he’s losing STUN or BODY, but he’ll still suffer Stunning, Knockout, Knockdown/Knockback, or death).  For an additional +¼ Advantage (+½ total), a character can make the
Target Effect of a Power “invisible” (imperceivable) to the target (but not to other characters).

 

So its expensive, but possible to make the power "illusionary" in a sense, cloaking its entire effect to the target (and to the outside world if bought right).
