You gain the following benefits at all times.

Whenever you use your Movement, after all other calculations, the distance you may travel is doubled.

Outside of Combat, any non-Gift, non-movement Actions you attempt take drastically less time to complete, as long as your personal speed is a factor in the Action. Total time reduction is determined by the GM and capped at 90% (executing the Action takes no less than 1/10th the normal time).

  • The time reduction on non-Movement Actions applies only to the parts of actions when your personal speed is a factor,: pouring water or smoking a steak are not affected, but constructing a shelter or picking a lock would be. The GM will determine how much the total time is reduced based on how relevant personal speed is to the task.

You gain the following benefits as long as you are wearing this Artifact.

You can run at four times your normal movement speed.

While running, you may climb, jump, and roll without breaking stride, but you are at 1/2 speed while doing so.

If you move faster than your normal move speed, the world around you turns to a blur, and Perception rolls are made at -3 dice.

Possession of this Artifact causes the following Battle Scar to manifest over the course of a day: The flesh of your feet begin to fuse slowly into itself, becoming a damnable stump with a limited range of motion. If you lose possession of this Artifact, the Battle Scar heals over the course of the next month.

You gain the following benefits at all times.

Whenever you use your Movement, after all other calculations, the distance you may travel is tripled.

If your last Action was used for an all-out sprint or you are already accelerated, you may spend an Action to accelerate without a roll, adding 100 feet/Round (not affected by your speed bonus) to your sprint speed, to a max of an extra 300 feet/Round. As long as you stay at these speeds, you may use this distance per Round as your Free Movement.

Any terrain you traverse while accelerated must be passable by a standard vehicle at similar speeds. Stopping, turning sharply, or decelerating more than 100 feet/Round must be performed as an Action. Failing to decelerate with an Action (whether because of an obstacle, sudden unfavorable terrain, an Injury, or other event) counts as a tumble or catastrophic vehicle collision as per the vehicle rules.

Possession of this Power grants the following Battle Scar: Gotta Go Fast! - You require motion to function correctly. (Whenever you would be completely unmoving, you receive a -2 Dice Penalty to all Mental Actions, as your brain starts to lack in oxygen like that of a shark) and Twitchy - You always seem ready to go and too eager to leave the conversation. (You suffer +1 Difficulty on all Social Rolls where being twitchy or fast-paced would matter).

Possession of this Power grants the following Trauma at all times: Thalassophobia - You have an intense fear of the ocean and the creatures within it. (Make a Self-Control roll in order to go near or otherwise interact with the subject of your fear) and Substance Addiction: Sugar - You are addicted to a specific substance. Any time you encounter that substance, you must roll Self-Control. If you fail, you must consume it, and if you botch, you will Overdose. You are unable to regain any Mind from resting unless you have consumed the substance that day..

  • 100 feet/Round is approximately 22 mph.
  • Any Encumbrance penalty to your movement still applies, but you do not suffer from any sort of exhaustion.
  • Damage from a collision depends on your speed at the time, as well as what you hit. GM's discretion, but generally moving faster than a car on the freeway and hitting a dense, solid object like a wall or a tree should be lethal. Mundane armor will not apply, but any supernatural forms of protection will.
