You possess an augmented or inhuman body.
Used by Lanie, Created by dae_kianna.
(Your specific augmentation must be physically visible in some way, but it does not need to make you appear outwardly monstrous or socially unacceptable. You must actively and obviously be using a dog collar.)

The moment you put on the dog collar, your human form dissolves in a silver mist. All that remains is a (45 lb) white female Samoyed wearing a collar.

You are permanently and visibly transformed: Samoyed. 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.

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

Your body provides you with the functionality of Saw (nom nom), bolt cutters (chomp), and sheers (chomp). If used to attack, these "tools" use the same stats as a small knife.

Possession of this Power grants the following Trauma at all times: Pets! If you are pet, scratched, or belly rubbed, you must make a Self Control roll to resist falling into a happy stupor. Failing means that for as long as the physical affection continues, you cannot take any actions, move, nor communicate--you're so distracted.

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 speak any coherent verbal language and must resort to other means of communication.

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

You may cure any Non-Alien diseases, toxins, or poisons afflicting your target even if you have not diagnosed or fully understood it. You may cure diseases or poisons even if they are not treatable through modern medicine. During treatment, the malady you are treating does not progress or cause additional Damage or other effects.

You may use this effect to sanitize a 15-foot radius, destroying all poisons, toxins, diseases such that they are inert and cannot affect any new targets

  • Without some sort of diagnostic Effect, “fully diagnosing” a disease or poison will always require a roll of some sort, frequently Intellect + Medicine, but the specific roll and difficulty is at GM’s discretion.

The command you issue must be within the machine's current capabilities. For example, you cannot order a standard security camera to grow legs and walk around.

If your command does not require bypassing the security of the target (for example, typing on a computer that is unlocked), you do not need to Exert your Mind to activate this Effect, and activation only takes a single Action.

Your Hack cannot be reversed through mundane means for a number of hours equal to your Outcome.

Every hack you make leaves behind a flickering image of a ghost in the system as a personal "calling card" that informs anyone who uses the system that the hack occurred.
