You become disguised in a manner of your choosing. The disguise lasts for two hours, or you may end it early at will.
The new appearance may have a different sex, age, and race to your own, and you may alter height by up to a foot and your weight by 50%. Your disguise cannot directly mimic an existing person. You may change the appearance of your outfit. A disguise cannot affect your Attributes or other stats.
You may roll Charisma + Crafts to attempt to make your disguise Beautiful. If your Outcome is 6 or higher, non-Effect Charisma rolls where your good looks could help are rolled at -2 Difficulty. If you fail or botch, you are ugly instead, and non-Effect Charisma rolls are made at +2 Difficulty.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see nanites ooze out of the pores, caustically eating away mundane clothing, and within the naked body bones and sinew writhe under skin, as seams tear open and heal over and over where the shape of the body changes and excess flesh is eaten away by the same nanites before they reconstruct new clothes across the body and ooze back into the nose, mouth and ears..
After this Effect ends, you cannot move quicker than a walk (15 feet per Round) for one minute and suffer a -1 dice penalty for an hour.
In the dim light of dawn, Darren Stanley stands vigilant at the forest's edge. Sensing the approach of unwanted visitors, he taps into "Darren's Quiver," a mystical ability allowing him to summon his bow and arrow from an ethereal stash. With a mere thought, his bow appears in hand, ready for use, a testament to his unique guardianship over the woods.
As poachers tread closer, Darren prepares, drawing an arrow that materializes from the invisible quiver. He releases it with supernatural precision, the silent strike disarming the intruders without alerting them to his presence. Within moments, the threat is neutralized, the forest's peace preserved by his swift action.
With the task complete, Darren wills his bow back into the hidden stash, his gear disappearing as seamlessly as it appeared. "Darren's Quiver" is not just a tool but a symbol of his duty to protect, blending the practical with the magical in his role as the forest's sentinel.
