Complications

Guilt: Hal feels at least partially responsible for the terrible acts of Parallax while the fear entity controlled
him.

Power Loss: The
power ring needs periodic recharging and issues a warning as its power runs
low.

Reputation: Hal
Jordan is a maverick in nearly all aspects of his life and known for having
issues with authority. He is also both famous and infamous as Green Lantern.

Weakness: Green
Lantern power rings depend on the willpower of the wearer; the maximum rank of
the ring’s effects is equal to the wearer’s Will rank, and moments of
self-doubt or hesitation can cause the ring to fail.

Green Lantern Power Ring

Green Lantern wields one of the most powerful weapons in the
universe: a power ring created by the Guardians of the Universe to tap into the green light of willpower, gathered
and focused through the Central Power Battery on the planet Oa, headquarters of the Green Lantern Corps.

A power ring protects its wearer
from harm automatically (its Force Field power) and a Green Lantern on the
defensive can use Force Constructs to Create powerful barriers. The ring is
equipped with an artificial intelligence (AI) allowing it to answer questions
for its wielder from a knowledge base on Oa.
(The GM largely gets to determine what information the ring can provide.) Power
rings are programmed to seek out a suitable new wielder if their current wearer
dies.

The wielder’s will and imagination
are the only real limits on a power ring; a wide range of power stunts is possible
using the ring’s effects, particularly its Force Manipulation Array and
Scanning Beam (for exotic senses or scans). A power ring’s Force Manipulation Array is limited to ranks no greater than the wearer’s Will rank.
