Drunken Martial Arts "Hiccup relax no no no damn it"
Stinky Pete takes a swig from his wine jar and his eyes get droopy and his movements become more erratic. His moves can not be graceful and its part luck part skill that allows him to do the things he does.
You gain the following benefits as long as you are engaged in unarmed combat.

- Bullet Catcher: You may React to and Defend against firearms and other projectiles.
- Precision Strikes: You may use Dexterity instead of Brawn on your attack rolls.

Spiritboxing
David punches the creature into a wall, and as he does so, it becomes clear he has mastered how to use the ghost’s unnatural strength
David has mastered using Bobby’s elemental to fight. The translucent ghostly shell disorients opponents, giving David opportunities to weave in his spiritual anger powered punches. At certain critical points of the fighting, the elemental’s (basically “ghost”) fists will even grow translucently red with rage over David’s own as he strikes critical blows.
David has learned to harness Bobby’s elemental, amplifying its rage and making its blows truly deadly. The two work in a more coordinated fashion now as well, without as much of a disconnect in their movements.
You gain the following benefits as long as you are in your Altered Form: Familial Possession and you are engaged in unarmed combat.
+2 dice to rolls for Attacking, Defending, and Clashing without a weapon. Unarmed attacks do +4 Weapon Damage (instead of -1). The target's Armor is fully effective against this damage.

Reliable Weapon
Hands Made for Killing.
The hands are covered with thick, bulging veins and patches of exposed muscle, giving them a extreme look. The skin appears leathery, with some portions torn or decomposed, adding to its zombie-like, grotesque look. The size of the hands are exaggerated, with fingers that are significantly longer and thicker than a regular human’s. They seem proportionally massive compared to normal human hands.

+2 dice to rolls for Attacking, Defending, and Clashing without a weapon. Unarmed attacks do +4 Weapon Damage (instead of -1).

Green Thumb
The gloves grant a number of benefits, one of which being the ability to animate plants. Though none as successfully as Phil.
An Action. Select a plant within arm's reach which could fit inside a briefcase (15 liters). This Effect cannot be used unless the animated plant is created without evil or malicious intent. Roll a single D10 as a critical failure check. If you roll a 1, the Effect fails, and you the plant grows rapidly, entangling you and becoming very tough. Also deals a Severity-1 Injury.
Your target will become Animated indefinitely. You may choose to end the effect at will, as a Free Action. You can maintain a max of 4 targets animated at once.
Animated Objects have the following restrictions and capabilities:
- Awareness: Animated targets are capable of perceiving the world around them within reasonable limits. Animated objects can communicate information back to you by speaking to you in a strange language.
- Movement: Animated targets can use an existing method of locomotion (wheels, etc); otherwise they can move across the ground at 15 feet per round, or hover up to a height of 7 feet in the air at 10 feet per round.
- Combat: Animated objects cannot take offensive actions in combat.
- Artifacts: Animating an Artifact does not grant the animated object access to any Effects built in to that Artifact.
- Ability Use: If an action requires a roll, Animated objects have a dice pool of 7 when performing a task for which they were designed, and a dice pool of 4 for taking any other actions.
- Toughness: Animated targets are as easy to destroy as they were prior to being animated. If destroyed, the effect ends.
- Following Orders: Animated objects are controlled by the GM, and will follow any commands you give them, as long as they don't require problem-solving.
This Gift's Cost is capped at 2 and cannot be increased further.
- Animated objects must communicate verbally, and they must be near enough for you to hear them in order to communicate.
- A task for which an object was designed might include a broom sweeping, a gun shooting things, a car driving, a towel rubbing up on stuff, etc.
- Animated objects may be more or less susceptible to certain attacks at GMs discretion. A scarecrow golem would be easily destroyed by a sword (or fire). An animated suit of armor may not fear bullets but could be smashed to bits with a hammer. A full bronze statue is largely indestructible but might have difficulty standing up if toppled.
- You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
- Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.
