Narratively, there needn’t be any, aside from the collateral damage that Reality Storm can cause. If you want to highlight that even when they spend the Burn to avoid it, you can talk about how the power is just barely under control and they have to fight to keep it together. (Of course, you can do the same thing on a regular Directly Engage, too.)
But yeah, aside from that it’s a purely mechanical thing. It’s just framed with different possible fallout, rather than an adjusted fictional trigger like most label substitutions.
Mechanically? The second uses Freak rather than Danger and the Nova’s Freak tend to be their stronger/more used stat.
Thanks! Love how helpful the community is.
So you guys don’t think there wouldn’t be any real visual different between the two? Reality Storm being a more powerful, uncontrolled display of their power?
That’s really over to the player, but yeah, I think Reality Storm is meant to showcase the Nova’s crazy power level.
