Biologically Incompatible Rock

Created and held by Anna Tully.
A strange rock with a broad irregular arrowhead and a dull slate blue colour. Looks igneous in texture.

When used, the rock starts heating up to a firm 40 degrees Celsius, the previously mundane slate blue matrix of the rock now glistens with a glassy texture and a pale blue pigment. A human eye rests within the glassy crystal, staring at the target.
When used, the little magic eye within the rock fires a laser at the target, provoking the distortion of the target's form.
The user must be holding the rock and pointing it towards the target to activate it.

Exert your Mind and Spend an Action. Select a Living target within 45 feet. Roll Dexterity + Occult at Difficulty 6. The target may roll Body, -2 dice at Difficulty 7, as a Free Action to resist.

If you succeed, the target receives a new Battle Scar of your choosing, limited by the contested Outcome:

  1. A Minor Battle Scar E.g. an aesthetic-only body modification (a disfigured face, a pig's tail), impacted hand or foot, or vocal changes that complicate communication
  2. A Major Battle Scar E.g. a disabled/removed hand or foot, an inability to speak, an impacted major sense, removal of a minor sense, impacted movement.
  3. A Severe Battle Scar E.g. a disabled/removed arm or leg, deafness, aesthetic changes that are nearly impossible to conceal.
  4. An Extreme Battle Scar E.g. removal/disabling both hands or both legs, blindness, a full-body deformation that leaves the target humanoid but makes it difficult to use clothes, vehicles, and equipment designed for humans.
Refer to the stock Battle Scars on the Character Sheet for specific systems.

You may affect up to 3 targets within range.

  • Remember: A Contractor’s Body rating is reduced by 1 for each Battle Scar after their fourth.
  • You may opt to inflict a Battle Scar that is less severe than what your Outcome allows.
  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
  • Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.
