Emilia smiles.
"See?"

Any. Doesn't matter for what.

Timebomb [Level 1 Active Action]: Requires a dedicated Perk Slot to use. Apply 5 Timebomb Stacks to the target. After 5 Turns, roll Basic Attack and multiply it by the number of Timebomb Stacks left on the target, this is considered to be an attack with no source, rather than an Ailment Consequence (so dodging, blocking, RES, etc will still work against it). Dispellation will remove one Time Bomb Stack, not all of them. 5 Turn Cooldown.

Precedent is Heroic Barrage which also only deals damage on Turn 6 at the earliest, takes less RES into account (ignores Armor, while this just has one attack rather than a multi-attack), and has a 5 Turn cooldown. Yes that one has a 30% RES penalty, but it also has conditional instant death. The fact that dispellation can mitigate damage from this, the fact that the enemy will know exactly when it hits and who it hits, five turns in advance, and the fact that this one requires an entire Perk Slot to even use should more than make up for that. The 5 Timebomb Stacks at Level 1 is more of an absolute minimum.

Is this allowed? How many Timebomb Stacks may be applied at Level 1?
