Benny is able to turn what would have been a wasted pile of meat into a useful minion. If he has access to a human being who is on the brink of death, he may perform a bloodletting ritual in which he opens the vein on his wrist and forces the victim to drink for roughly 10 seconds.
If the ritual is completed successfully, the soul and mind will die, but the body will remain animate, an unwitting member of a soon-to-be vast criminal empire.
Take a Severity-1 Injury and spend at least two Actions performing the following ritual: slit open your wrist and allow blood to drain into the dying human's mouth for ten seconds to activate. You must actively and obviously use a human body that is in the process of dying to activate this Effect. You must maintain Concentration while activating this Effect, and it fails if you are interrupted.
Summon a single Vampire's Thrall at your location. They will last until they are destroyed. They are controlled by the GM but will follow any commands you give. You may have at most 1 minion active at a time.
Minions have 6 Body and can make melee range attacks with 5 dice to attack and +1 Damage. They cannot move faster than a walk and cannot dodge incoming attacks. They have dog-level intelligence, but are capable of communicating information back to you. Any Perception checks they make are rolled with 3 dice.
Ringus is hyper aware to acute changes in his body, using medical knowledge to patch himself up quickly, healing faster than any normal person.
Exert your Mind and spend 15 minutes to activate. Choose a specific Injury on yourself that has not yet been treated with this Effect and roll Perception + Medicine at Difficulty 6.
If you succeed, the Injury is reduced in Severity by your Outcome. If you reduce its Severity to 0, the Injury is fully healed. Otherwise, it is partially healed and will heal the rest of the way at its natural rate.
This counts as a successful Makeshift Stabilization if the Injury was not already Stabilized; any Battle Scars caused by the Injury will remain.

Damage from standard attacks is halved, but Damage from AOE effects is increased by 1.

Pen in hand, Ethan writes into the air, words appearing as if they were written on paper as he describes the form of the being that he is conjuring.

The "Reaper" Assault Helmet is the signature piece of the Future Soldier's arsenal. It has a sleek, design and is made of a mysterious matte-metallic alloy. The wearer's face is exposed normally, but when activated, a blue holographic visor flickers to life in front of the eyes. This HUD contains information about the soldier's ammunition and shield status, but more significantly can detect enemy combatants. Anyone nearby who is holding a weapon is painted with a red dot that follows them in real time. This allows the Future Soldier to fire at painted targets in the dark, detect ambushes lurking around corners, and grants an overall tactical advantage.
Expend a point of Battery and spend an Action.
You automatically detect all people wielding weapons within 300 feet of you for the next hour. This includes any who come within range during the duration. You have a sense of how many valid targets are nearby, as well as their distance and direction.

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