CryptoLeak: Silence is Broken

Exert your Mind and spend an Action.

You transform into Fergus for 3 minutes. You have access to all of your Powers while you are Fergus, and you can use your equipment. Your Battle Scars, Injuries, and physical Liabilities are carried over between forms. Reverting from your Alternate Form cannot cause your existing Injuries to kill you. Instead, you remain Incapacitated.

While transformed, your Brawn is increased by 1. You do not suffer any Stress while transformed.

Your body is adapted to Athletics. You receive +3 dice on non-attack rolls related to Athletics.

Your alternate form is its own deadly weapon. Unarmed attacks made in your alternate form deal +3 Weapon Damage (instead of the typical -1).

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see Fergus' monstrous demeanor.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Roll Intellect + Brawl (3 dice) at Difficulty 6.

If you succeed, you create a Barrier extending out 15 feet from yourself, which absorbs 2 times the next Outcome + 2 Damage up to a maximum of half the total Damage from a given attack, the rest of which penetrates through to its target. The barrier is still depleted by the full amount of Damage. Only applies to attacks which originated outside the 15 foot radius, and protects anyone who is within that radius. Any Damage absorbed by the barrier is reflected back to the attacker, up to a maximum of the Barrier Strength Parameter’s bonus. Their Armor applies in full. The Damage reduction from the barrier is applied before Armor. This Artifact may only have 1 active barrier at a time.

You must maintain Concentration while using this Effect. The barrier will fall if you are interrupted, or if it absorbs the full amount of Damage. When a barrier falls, you cannot use this Effect again for a minimum of 2 Rounds.

Take a Severity-1 Injury, use up this nasal spray (unless you succeed on 1d10, Difficulty 7), and spend a minute. Select a Battle Scar on yourself to treat.
