With their leathery flesh, dense musculature, & rugged constitution, Ghouls are invariably stronger than humans. Specifically, they are far more robust, withstanding injuries that would kill a man outright with ease.
With Talons fully grown in, it is difficult to work with delicate objects, & much cursing is had.

As he pulls out his medical tools to start, his hands start to glow a light yellow. As he treats the patient, like a weaver working their fabrics, the wound is patched.
Exert your Mind and spend 15 minutes to activate. Select a Living target within arm's reach. Choose a specific Injury on your target that has not yet been treated with this Effect and roll Intellect + Medicine at Difficulty 6.
If you succeed, the Injury is reduced in Severity by your Outcome. If you reduce its Severity to 0, the Injury is fully healed. Otherwise, it is partially healed and will heal the rest of the way at its natural rate.
This counts as a successful Makeshift Stabilization if the Injury was not already Stabilized; any Battle Scars caused by the Injury will remain. Your patient is required to not sprint for the next month. If they violate this rule, your treatment is immediately reversed.

Working in many places as a park ranger, Janice has grown to be able to track any being throughout any sort of environment. Her discerning eyes can keep track of her target once she spots any sign that they left.
This ability has been honed throughout years of hunting throughout the night for intruders in deserts and forests. She's not using just physical hints, like footprints, but also patterns of movement from a litany of people trying to evade her.
By taking a close look, with a magnifying glass, Janice is able to use any trace of even the most minuscule of debris to see where the target has been. Even from the depth of their prints, she's able to tell if the footprint is a red herring left by the evader. Janice is able to keep track of the target well enough that she could teach a toddler how to follow them.
Looking at the gait of the target, and the depth of the footprints, Janice is also able to tell if the target is limping, going slower than normal. She's even able to find out their weight.
However, following their trail, and judging their health together is too much for Janice. Her mental endurance isn't enough to be able to juggle these. She has to focus down on one concept beforehand.
Exert your Mind and spend a minute. Select a Sapient target or a Creature within arm's reach. You may select a target at any range if you use up Footprints of the target.

By focusing on an object, the user turns off its gravity. Relieved from the Earth's pull, the object begins to float as though it were in space. Through further concentration, the user is able to manipulate the object with their mind, subjecting it to their own gravity. As the object is being manipulated, a faint aura of sparkling dust surrounds it, resembling a nebula. For more finer motions, tiny stars dance around the object, functioning as clumsy substitutes for fingers.
Upon concentration being broken, the object's usual gravity is immediately restored and the cosmic aura vanishes.
A worrying thought haunted Andromeda's mind following the events of In the Sights of the Crackshot. As one of her friends hung from a ledge above her, Andromeda finds herself terrified of the possibility of being unable to help. While she saved her friend then, it was only due to a gift that someone else gave her. She fears what would've happened if she didn't have that artifact. She wishes that she could reach out and catch her friend, pulling them down to safety. It was that wish that manifested this gift, so hopefully she'll be able to prevent future situations like this from happening.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
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.

By consuming the flesh of humans, Ghouls gain dream-like insights into that person's life. Typically this is the moments just before death, though it is not uncommon to see the images of the most recent places visited by the deceased. If he is able to completely consume the heart of the target, this information comes almost effortlessly, a throwback to the Rites of Anubis & the Ghoul Cults of Egypt.
Name/Identity: Who they were, including Aliases
Codes & Passwords: Including arcane phrases, disarming traps (though not the nature of those traps) as well as the order in which they are used.
Treasure Map: An image of the items they treasure the most, & where they keep them.

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. . .
This Effect activates whenever you receive a Severity 2 or higher Injury from an attack. It does not require an Action or Exertion. Select a Living target within 45 feet. Your target should be intuitively based on the triggering event. Roll Charisma + Influence at Difficulty 6. Affected targets can resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 6.
If you succeed, for the next minute, your target will do things they otherwise wouldn’t have done, inspired by remorse for hurting such a pure soul. They will not necessarily display their emotions in an obvious way.
Actions they take will be in keeping with their character and the way they tend to deal with strong emotions. They will be unlikely to change their mind about any actions taken or decisions made until after the Effect ends.

The ward requires Concentration to monitor, though it will remain active until you deactivate it. It can be detected with a roll and destroyed through mundane means.
The spy can twist the urban environment to their whims, erecting fences, walls, and barriers as needed. They whistle and gesture to where the wall should be, and the surrounding materials fly into place.

Select one of the following alterations to create out of standard building materials originating at the target:

This alteration lasts one minute but may be prematurely destroyed or altered. Your alterations may be broken through with appropriate tools. Anyone attempting to break through must roll Brawn + a relevant Ability. A cumulative Outcome of 6 across all attempts breaks a hole large enough to move through. See the extended system text for GM guidance on various tools.
Any successful musician knows the value of a good roadie. The musician calls for a roadie, and one will promptly arrive. The roadie doesn't talk much, and they aren't too bright, but they can sure haul gear.
