Lose Cool Not going to lie. . . I'm getting pretty worked up about this.

The power to temporarily transform into a monstrous mixture of human and beast.
Used by River, Created by ShadyTradesman.
(While you are a monstrous mixture of human and beast, you are obviously transformed and unusual. )

River may seem like the chillest dude on earth, but it comes at a cost. When tensions run high, he may lose control, transforming into a horrible mixture of man and beast. His flesh warps in unpredictable and horrific ways, growing and reabsorbing limbs and extremities in a chaotic expression of his passion.

Exert your Mind and spend a Quick Action to activate.

You transform into a monstrous mixture of human and beast for 3 minutes. You have access to all of your Powers while you are a monstrous mixture of human and beast, and you can use your equipment. Your Battle Scars, Injuries, and physical Liabilities are carried over between forms. While transformed, your Brawn is increased by 1 and your Dexterity is increased by 1.

Your body is adapted to demolishing and sprinting. You receive +3 dice on non-attack rolls related to demolishing and sprinting.

You do not suffer any Penalty while in your Alternate Form.

While transformed, you automatically fail any Mind roll to resist an impulse and suffer -3 dice on all other Mind rolls.

Possession of this Power grants the following Trauma at all times: Roll Self-Control when emotions run high not to transform (rage, fear, etc).

You cannot speak any coherent verbal language while transformed and must resort to other means of communication.

You are incapable of fine object manipulation while transformed and can only hold or grasp things in a crude, clumsy way.

  • Attribute bonuses from multiple sources do not stack. Instead the highest bonus is used.

The shadows that exist outside of the Well are either only personified by Luci herself or a product of her power. When a shadow points her in a direction, it manifests more as a feeling than an actual shadow getting up pointing in any particular directing.

Think of it more like Luci projecting herself into the surrounding darkness- a process that while not riskless, is certainly fruitful.

Exert your Mind and spend two Actions performing the following ritual: Luci mutters for the shadows to show their hand as she pours her Varnish at her feet. You must use up 6 units of Varnish in order to activate this Effect. You must maintain Concentration while activating this Effect, and it fails if you are interrupted. You must make a Trauma roll when you use this Effect. Its Difficulty cannot be reduced by any means.

You automatically detect all hidden beings (i.e. actively in hiding or actively conealing their presence) and disguised beings (i.e. actively wearing/using a disguise/facade) within 1 mile 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.

If no hidden beings (i.e. actively in hiding or actively conealing their presence) or disguised beings (i.e. actively wearing/using a disguise/facade) targets are within 1 mile of you, and then one enters range, you automatically detect it, even if this Effect is not active.

Any hidden beings (i.e. actively in hiding or actively conealing their presence) and disguised beings (i.e. actively wearing/using a disguise/facade) detected while this Effect is active are “marked”. You will continue to detect them until the Effect ends, no matter how far away they move. You will also continue to detect them after the Effect ends, so long as they remain within 1 mile of you.

You learn basic information about why each detected being is being detected. For example, if you detect Criminals, you may learn how many crimes they have committed and what type.

You receive a detailed silhouette of their body and clothes for each being you detect.

Remark:the Phoenix comes out from a Phoenix tattoo on the cloak, and when it dies it turns into flames and goes back there

A medical drug formula made by copying the ones used in the military and further modified by commissioned eggheads. This nasal spray acts as an antibiotic as well as an irritant - attacking any tissue that didn't heal properly and forcing the body give it another shot. It also attacks your nose and brain by proximity, causing a lot of pain, and colouring your eyes yellow due to the chemical's pigment.

Take a Severity-1 Injury, use up this nasal spray (unless you succeed on 1d10, Difficulty 7), and spend a minute. Select a Battle Scar on yourself to treat.
