Exert your Mind and spend a minute. This Effect cannot be used unless you can only disguise as someone who you have consumed. You must use up human flesh in order to activate this Effect.

You become disguised in a manner of your choosing. The disguise lasts until you either activate a new disguise, or choose to end the effect.

The new appearance may have a different sex, age, and race to your own, and you may alter height by up to a foot and your weight by 50%. Your disguise may directly mimic the appearance of a specific individual. You cannot alter your clothes. A disguise cannot affect your Attributes or other stats.

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see Phil is literally consuming human flesh and turning it into plant food.

  • A performance check is generally required to pass with people who know the individual you're mimicking.
  • When narrating disturbing content, be cognizant of your group's tone and accommodating to those who would like to "fast forward" through the description.

Artemis has awakened a latent power in Jupiter. The Fates had already decided these two would be together for their entire lives, and she could sense the hound's desire to help his mother. He is under her personal protection, having earned her respect for his dedication to Edith, and as such, when he is summoned, death is only a temporary set back.

On "death" his powers wane and one of Artemis' nymphs whisks the little hunter back home, no worse for wear.

If the two are separated he disappears back home as well, since Jupiter's power is founded on their relationship, it cannot be sustained without his beloved mother present.
