Ravenoff

1
The power to transform into a non-humanoid creature.
Used by Avi Branwen, Created by Logan.
(Your transition from one form to the next is obvious to all observers. )

in the cold hour of winter midnight a man skulks the streets of Ontario. Hands bloodied, tucked deep within the pockets of his coat as he paces down the sleeted path, high above a raven circles above the man, croaking sonorously in the dead of night following the man to his home. Entering his home, the man sanitised his hands, his knob , burns his coat and jeans in the blaze of his furnace changing into a new attire befitting of the cold night. As soon as he lay on his chair a sudden "KRAK,KRAK,KRAK" reverberated . He looked and their lay the crow on the kitchen counter gawking at him with it's bottomless pits. As he moves for the window a "thud" followed by a sharp "shh" came from behind, before he could turn something lodged in his throat and pulled out, blood seeped down in the gallons. The man falls, a shadow of a human figure looms over him with a stillness matching that of the cold air.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action.

You transform into Raven until you transform into something else or choose to return to your original form. See the Extended System text for stats.

While transformed, you cannot use any equipment (including Artifacts and Consumables), and you do not have access to any of your Powers. The equipment you are wearing does not transform with you.

Injuries and Wound Level are carried over between forms. However, transforming can never kill you; you merely remain Incapacitated until your Injuries are sufficiently healed.

Spend an Action. Select a Animate target within arm's reach. This Effect cannot be used unless the target willingly consumes meat that you serve them. You must use up a piece of meat in order to activate this Effect.

Your target is marked with a piece of meat that remains in their stomach, undigested. The mark can only be discovered with a deep medical inspection or Effect. Removal inflicts a Severity 1 Injury on the target.

You are aware of the marked target's vital status, injuries, direction and distance from you. This lasts for the next month, or until either the mark is removed, or you choose to end the Effect. You can have up to 3 marks active.

This Gift cannot have more than 3 Drawbacks, and its Gift Cost is capped at 2.

  • Marked individuals satisfy the line of sight requirement for targeted Effects.
  • 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.

You gain the following benefits at all times.

You gain an additional limb that functions as a standard human arm and hand.

Each additional limb you posses can take one Quick Action per Round without incurring a -2 dice penalty to your main Action. Each additional appendage you have gives you +1 dice to make and resist Grapples (up to a maximum bonus of +4 dice).

Any Battle Scars that affect or remove your additional limb will heal in a single week.

Your extra appendage can stretch to reach an additional 30 feet.

You may dedicate your extra Quick Action to contest any attempt to escape your Grapples. If you do so, you roll your full dice pool to contest and retain your Action to do anything that does not target the subject of your Grapple.

You cannot be mistaken for a normal human. You cannot always use standard human clothes, equipment, vehicles, and facilities, and when you can, you suffer an increased Difficulty.

Your Extra Appendage is incapable of fine object manipulation.

  • You may stretch, retract, or move your limbs 30 feet once per Round.

You gain the following benefits as long as engaged in combat with firearms.

+2 dice to all firearms rolls.

You also gain the following effects:

  • Finesse: When Attacking a single being, you may limit the Severity of any Injury you inflict or determine a maximum Wound Level, including Incapacitated. You may also choose to make this Injury properly or improperly stabilized, or to keep it unstabilized.
  • Quick Fingers: Drawing your weapon is a Free Action as long as it is on your person. You may reload or swap ammo as a Free Action.

Increase your sacrificial Injury's Severity by 1 and spend a Free Action. You must actively and obviously use a heart to activate this Effect.

You transform into a viscous mound of animated gore for the next hour. You may end the effect early and return to your normal form at will. Your structure must remain relatively contiguous. Observers will view you as an unusual entity moving with a singular purpose.

While in this form, you can squeeze through any gap that is not water-tight.

Injuries from standard attacks are reduced to Severity 1, but Damage from AOE effects is increased by 1.

You cannot communicate while transformed. Your equipment does not transform with you beyond basic body coverings. Carrying capacity is unaffected.

You have access to your Powers while transformed.

You may use equipment while transformed.

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see the hemomancer’s rapid transformation into a roiling creature of animated blood.

After this Effect ends, you cannot move quicker than a walk (15 feet per Round) for one minute and suffer a -1 dice penalty for an hour.

If you do not have a sacrificial Injury when you activate this Effect, take a new Severity-1 Injury.

  • The Severity-limiting effect from Squish does not stack with the Enhancement Tough from Mythic Brawn.
  • When narrating disturbing content, be cognizant of your group's tone and accommodating to those who would like to "fast forward" through the description.
  • The sacrificial Injury received from activating this Effect cannot be prevented by any means or healed before 1 day has passed. It is shared with all Effects that use sacrifice. This Injury does not requires Stabilization or cause Battle Scars when it becomes Severe.

The corpses are powered by Mingus' own broken dreams. Once, he was driven by the idea that he could use the art of clowning to motivate the world to be better, more caring, more generous people. Now, that desire for motivation has culminated in a twisted perversion: he can motivate people to action - any action he wants! - with his jokes, but only after they've died. This is, of course, terrifying to him - he's still too human for it not to be.

Exert your Mind and spend one minute. Select a Dead target within arm's reach that has died within the last month. You must make a Trauma roll when you use this Effect. Its Difficulty cannot be reduced by any means. If you fail or Botch, you receive one Mind Damage and a new Trauma.

Your target rises as an Animate being. The raised creature is totally mindless, with no memory of its past life or hint of its old personality. They cannot communicate. They will follow any command you speak.

The creature lasts for eight hours or until it dies again. It is revived at full health. Any Injuries it had in life are not accounted for when determining its penalties or progression towards re-death, though they may affect its ability to perform certain actions at GM's discretion.

Raised creatures have their Abilities set to the same that they were in life. Their Charisma and Intellect are set to 1, but their Dexterity, Brawn and Perception are the same as they had in life. A raised creature cannot use any Effects.

This Effect is not obvious, and the only sign you are using an Effect is The corpse laughing whenever Mingus gives it a command. If someone suspects that an Effect was used, they must roll Perception + Alertness, Difficulty 8 to pick up on your Tell.

  • 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.

Note that the locking mechanism itself must satisfy the standard targeting requirements (including line of sight), not just the vehicle.
