The power to transform into Wall.
Used by Paul "Wall" Johnson, Created by lunaticwhale.
(This Effect is obviously Alien when used. While transformed, you appear to be a normal Wall. )

When this is used, Wall can disguise himself as a normal, non-living brick wall.


Exert your Mind and Spend an Action.

You transform into Wall no larger than an SUV for one minute. While transformed, you may control the functioning of the object you have transformed into. You can perceive your surroundings as normal. You can be targeted as a Non-Living, Sapient Object.

If you are damaged while transformed, the damage is realized when you return to normal. If you are damaged before you transform, your inanimate form will appear partially damaged.

  • If a character is inside of you when you revert to your original form, you take a Severity-5 Injury when they burst from your innards as you shrink.
  • You cannot move in any way the object wouldn't normally be able to move. If you are a feather duster, you cannot float around, etc.
