The symbiote has repurposed some of the Hosts flesh to form flexible tendrils made from tendon & muscle fiber & the alien's own fungal, plant-like fibers. These tendrils have an array of sharp, thorn like edges that allow them to easily part flesh, as well as moist, sucking organs that both assist in grasping prey & gorging on blood & fluids.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action to activate.
You gain an additional limb that functions as a standard human arm and hand. Lasts one hour.
Each additional limb you posses can take one Quick Action per Round without incurring a -2 dice penalty to your main Action. Any Battle Scars that affect or remove your additional limb will heal in a single week.
Your extra appendage can be used to attack in exactly the same manner as a Thrusting Sword.
Your appendage is capable of bending and squishing in normally-impossible ways. It may fit through any gap that is not water-tight and retain its functionality.
Your appendage has a grip that is hard to shake. You may attempt a grapple with only your Extra Appendage at no penalty.
Your extra appendage is not connected to your nervous or circulatory systems, and you will not take damage if it is hit by an attack or destroyed.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see Thorned tendrils burst from your body.
Your appendage has its own agenda (Spread the spores!), which it will attempt to follow. You must roll Mind, Difficulty 7 to re-assert control when this occurs. If it chooses to act counter to your desires in combat, controlling it costs your entire Action.
Your Extra Appendage is incapable of fine object manipulation.
As Perkins Cadbury smokes weed, the smoke in his lungs that gets spewed out creates a fog of 'understanding,' allowing those he talks to and hears from to be 'understood.' As in, he knows exactly what they're saying through the power of chill vibes, y'know?

The mystic enters a meditation while focusing on a remote location.

For a brief period, they may see the area they are projecting to as though they were standing there.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a target Location within 75 feet.
You may perceive things as if you were standing at that Location. The effect lasts indefinitely but you must maintain Concentration to keep it up. You cannot perceive anything at your physical location while the effect is active.

You create a visible manifestation at the Location where your senses are projected which looks like a ghostly image of yourself meditating.
You may only use this Effect once per day.
Grognar thrusts his Axe forward, and the air splits like torn flesh, unveiling a bleeding rift in time. Shadows coil within, flickering between what was and what should never be. A cold, aching whisper seeps through, filled with regret and longing. As he retrieves what is his, the wound shudders, pulsing with the weight of his unnatural existence before snapping shut, leaving behind only the lingering scent of something lost to time.
Spend a Quick Action. Roll a single D10 as a critical failure check. If you roll a 1, the Effect fails, and you Grognar breaks into Reality, but the binds of Time and Space do not bend to his will this time; as his body begins to warp into the direction of the break, sucking anything within 5 feet of the break into it. Including Grognar, will immediately enter the break.. You must actively and obviously use any Axe to activate this Effect.

You may choose to equip any equipment you withdraw at no additional cost.
Time is effectively frozen in your Stash. Sapient targets still experience a local passage of time inside the stash, and this does not extend the duration of Effects inside the stash.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see Grognar swings his axe, cleaving through the very fabric of time. A grotesque tear opens, blood oozing from the wound in reality itself..

The creature's claws rip through the poor, defenseless doctor's coat, opening deep gashes in their gut. It bares its fangs to lunge for the killing blow, but the doctor looks up at the attacker. Their eyes filed not with utter terror at their imminent demise, only a look of disappointment and pity. Touched, the monster hesitates. . .

Your target should be intuitively based on the triggering event. Roll Charisma + Influence (1 dice) at Difficulty 6. Affected targets can resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 6.

You gain the following benefits as long as the target object has a cutting edge.
As long as you maintain Concentration, you can take Actions and interact with things that are within 75 feet without needing to physically touch them or be near them.
