You gain the following benefits at all times.

You no longer require any sleep or air in order to survive. Any roll to resist an Effect dependent on any affected requirement automatically succeeds.

Instead of food and water, you must consume Pushkin Vodka daily for sustenance. For every day you fail to consume it, you lose a point of Brawn. If your Brawn falls to 0 in this way, you die. Your Brawn is fully restored to normal as soon as you fulfill your dietary needs.

  • In lieu of sleeping, once per day you may spend one hour meditating to recover a Mind Damage.

Between six and seven feet tall, its body a blend of raw reptilian power and primal intelligence. Thick, scaled limbs support a forward-leaning frame. Its skin is mottled grey, olive, and dark rust, colours that blend seamlessly into rocky or jungle terrain, with large, rugged scales that form natural plating along the shoulders, spine, and tail. The head is long and angular, with a wide jawline packed with serrated teeth and a flickering black tongue that tastes the air. Its eyes, golden and slit-pupiled, radiate a slow, calculating awareness. Long, clawed fingers suggest both tool use and combat capability, while a thick, muscular tail balances its gait.

Internally, its biology is built for endurance and sudden bursts of violence. A dual-lung system allows for high-efficiency oxygen exchange, enabling it to remain still for hours before erupting into explosive movement. Its heart, larger and more muscular than a human’s, beats slowly but forcefully, circulating a dense, copper-rich blood that resists infection and carries oxygen through its heavy musculature. Beneath its jaw and along the lower jawline lie venom glands that secrete a coagulant, inhibiting toxin, not injected, but smeared into wounds as its teeth rip and tear, causing slow, unstoppable bleeding. Its stomach is a high-acidity organ, capable of dissolving bone and carrion alike, while a second, smaller “crop” pouch stores food for slow digestion during lean periods.

You gain the following benefits at all times.

You are permanently and visibly transformed: High Reptilian. You are considered to be a Sapient, Living Creature when targeted. Your Brawn is increased by 1, your Dexterity is increased by 1, your Perception is increased by 1, and your Charisma is increased by 1.

You may make a +2 Weapon Damage Melee Claws attack without additional equipment.

Possession of this Power grants the following Battle Scar: Reptilian.

You cannot be mistaken for a normal human. You cannot always use standard human clothes, equipment, vehicles, and facilities, and when you can, you suffer an increased Difficulty.

You cannot ignore or decrease the effects of Stress for any Self-Control rolls you make.

The Severity of any Injury caused by Cold is increased by 2.

  • Even though you're targetable as a Creature, you still are also targetable as a Sapient being.
  • The increase in Injury Severity stacks with any similar effects, such as the Silver Bullets drawback on Regeneration.
  • Attribute bonuses from multiple sources do not stack. Instead the highest bonus is used.

You gain the following benefits at all times.

Your senses are enhanced in the following way.

  • Smell: Your nose is highly sensitive and can differentiate between scents the way a dog can, as well as recognize things you have smelled before.

I awoke in a Victorian garden. Two mercury teacups sit on a table. The air smells like asbestos and something bitter. Sulphur? Across the table from me sits a skeleton, its eyes drilling holes into my soul. I know what it has come to tell me, even before wordless emotions tumble from its lipless mouth.
"Your time has come. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust"
I choke back my fear, then trembling, speak.
"Another few years, I beg of you. Am I not your most devoted servant? Have I not feared and revered you at every moment? How many have I sent into your arms?"
The skeleton sits emotionless, its jaw moving, speaking soundlessly.
"I have given you so many chances, Harold. But I must admit a sense of curiosity. Do you plan to evade me forever"
"Until death do we meet," I retort, half joking.
But it is already over. I am waking. Emotions begin to return to my body. Neurons fire randomly, an intricate web creating a tapestry of sparks. And so I return.

You gain the following benefits at all times.

If you would take an Injury that would kill you, you don’t die. Instead, you survive in an Incapacitated state. This state lasts for the next hour, at which point you fully return to life.

If, while you are unconscious, your wound level rises above your rating in Body + Charisma, or if you take an Injury with Severity greater than your rating in Charisma, you die. After you return, the Injury that would have killed you, as well as any Injuries sustained while Incapacitated, are healed. Battle scars obtained during this time remain.

You gain the following benefits at all times.

You gain an additional limb that functions as a standard human arm and hand.

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 Giant Claw (Greatsword).

Your appendage is selectively incorporeal, allowing you to reach through walls or ignore grapples on it.

Your extra appendage can stretch to reach an additional 30 feet.

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.

Your Extra Appendage counts as an object and can be hacked or targeted by any Powers that affect objects or machines. Injuries to your Extra Appendage cannot be healed by Powers that affect living things but may be repaired during Downtime.

Possession of this Power grants the following Battle Scar: Lordosis - Your spine is negatively affected by your extra appendage. (You have a -2 dice penalty to all rolls involving balance when your extra appendage isn't being used for balance).

Possession of this Power grants the following Trauma at all times: The Best Minion - You believe you and your Overlord are the best of the best, and are superior to everyone else. (You must succeed a Self-Control roll to believe or take an action that contradicts this belief).

Your Extra Appendage is incapable of fine object manipulation.

  • Your limb's incorporeal-ness doesn't enhance your attacks in any way.
  • You may stretch or retract your limbs once per Round on your Initiative.
