Ghoulish Edgar pulls away his respirator to reveal a short muzzle containing a twisted amalgam of human teeth & hooked fangs.

2
Requires Seasoned
You possess an augmented or inhuman body.
Used by Edgar Stokes, Created by Strazhari.
(Your specific augmentation must be physically visible in some way, but it does not need to make you appear outwardly monstrous or socially unacceptable. )

Edgar is slowly becoming a Ghoul; his hands have thickened & become tipped with hooked talons suitable for digging up graves & tearing flesh. He has grown a short muzzle choked with a combination of his original teeth & savage fangs. His feet have begun to fuse into hoof-like stumps. Like a rat, if he can get his head through a hole, he can get his entire body through.

After consuming a mythical dragon over the period of a month, Edgar's flesh is remarkably resistant to flames.

Update - Edgar has fully transformed into a Ghoul at this time, unable to even remotely pass for human or wear most human clothes, having a short muzzle, elongated arms tipped with hooked talons, & digitigrade legs ending in hardened hoofs - further, his exposure to the creature known as "The Provider" has mutated him - increasing Regenerative abilities & durability - this mutation has come with an increased susceptibility to Acid, which will inflict horrific wounds on his mutated flesh.


You gain the following benefits at all times.

You are permanently and visibly transformed: a Mythos Ghoul. You are considered to be a Sapient, Living being when targeted..

You are immune to damage from cold. If cold is a substantial component of other damage you would take (e.g. falling from a great distance into a vat of liquid nitrogen), that damage is reduced by 2 (in addition to Armor)

No single organ in your body is critical for life. If any body part is separated, it lives and can take Actions for one hour. Attacks do not get bonuses from targeting specific body parts. You cannot suffer an Injury with Severity greater than 6.

You are immune to damage from heat and flames. If heat is a substantial component of other damage you would take (e.g. slashed with a flaming sword), that damage is reduced by 2 (in addition to Armor)

You can squeeze through any cracks and passageways a cat would be able to.

Your body provides you with the functionality of Digging Tools. 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: Cannabalism - must roll trauma to avoid eating or caching any corpse encountered.

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.

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

  • When split into multiple pieces, only the "main" piece can activate Effects.
  • Your heat resistance does not extend to your equipment. Fire does not degrade this effect over time.
  • 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.
