Fairy Dust “If you believe you can do it, you can fly”

1
A consumable golden motes of fairy dust that lets you fly through the air at impressive speeds.
Used by Murian Hawthorne, Created by Metal.
( This Effect has no explicit visibility requirement.)

The applier takes a handful of glittering dust and sprinkles it on their target. The target is slowed in their descent (and perhaps at some points, buoyed up in the air) by shining motes of fairy dust that occasionally sparkle around them. This dust carries its target through the air in hard to predict whirling, whooping motions, like something out of a Peter Pan story or a fairy tale. When the dust is sprinkled on someone with a good heart, sometimes the motes will glimmer and stick around with them afterwards, instead of vanishing with a twinkle.

Murian stumbled on Eisley’s old stash of Fairy Dust in the attic after her last job. That old benevolent spirit had more than a trick or two up her sleeve….

Use up this golden motes of fairy dust (unless you succeed on 1d10, Difficulty 7) and spend an Action. This Effect remains active for two hours.

As long as you are conscious, you are immune to falling Damage. Additionally, you may glide as you fall, traveling 35 feet horizontally for every 10 feet you fall. While gliding, you fall at a minimum speed of 10 feet per Round.

You are subject to the following effects while gliding:

  • Evasive Maneuvers: During your turn, if you moved mostly through the air but traveled less than your Free Movement, all attacks against you are at a -2 dice penalty until your next turn.
  • Earthbound: You cannot fly or glide in an atmosphere thin enough to be unbreathable.
  • Weight-Limited: This Effect is suppressed any time you are over-encumbered.

  • This consumable is destroyed when used and cannot be used again.
  • Any penalties to dice or movement, including from Encumbrance, are applied as normal. If your movement is reduced to 0 due to encumbrance, you will begin to sink down to the ground.
  • You may activate this Effect while in midair, allowing you to slow and survive any free fall.

Sometimes, Koriol swears he can hear a whisper from the west winds: "I'll provide for you what I could never hope to have." He doesn't really understand. What is this providing, besides more time that he'd just spend in tedium? Does he even deserve this more than ________?

Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Roll Intellect + Investigation at Difficulty 6.

If you succeed, you create a barrier around yourself, which absorbs the next Outcome +4 Damage. The Damage reduction from the barrier is applied before Armor. You may only have 1 active barrier at a time.

The barrier will fall after two hours, or if it absorbs the full amount of Damage. When a barrier falls, you cannot use this Effect again for a minimum of 2 Rounds.

This Effect is not obvious, and the only sign you are using an Effect is Koriol's eyes turn orange. If someone suspects that an Effect was used, they must roll Perception + Alertness, Difficulty 8 to pick up on your Tell.

Possession of this Power grants the following Trauma at all times: Haphephobia: If someone touches you without your consent, roll Self-Control to avoid taking disproportional revenge on them, such as harming them physically or psychologically. Exert your mind to let someone touch you.

  • Effects which circumvent Armor completely also circumvent your barrier.

Lewis’s experiments have achieved a new breaking point as he has discovered ways to tap into the potential of human evolution and create soldiers who know only how to fight.

Increase your sacrificial Injury's Severity by 1, use up this syringe filled with red liquid (unless you succeed on 1d10, Difficulty 7), and spend a Quick Action. Roll a single D10 as a critical failure check. If you roll a 1, the Effect fails, and you gain traumatic brain injury.

You transform into A hulking mindless berserker clad in black organic knight armor for 3 minutes. You have access to all of your Powers while you are A hulking mindless berserker clad in black organic knight armor, and you can use your equipment. The Injuries and Battle Scars of your Alternate Form and your true form are tracked separately.

While transformed, your Brawn is increased by 2, your Dexterity is increased by 2, and your Perception is increased by 2. You do not suffer any Stress while transformed.

Your alternate form is its own deadly weapon. Unarmed attacks made in your alternate form deal +3 Weapon Damage (instead of the typical -1).

While transformed, instead of your normal clothes and equipment, you are equipped with: Organic black plate mail (Armor 4)

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see the user's body swelling up and becoming a monstrous berserker leaking blood and biomass.

Your alternate form renders you unable to speak any human language and incapable of fine object manipulation. You can only hold or grasp objects in a crude, clumsy way.

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.

Whenever you enter Combat, roll Self-Control. If you fail, you cannot choose which targets to attack and cannot stop fighting until there are no targets remaining.

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

If you do not have a sacrificial Injury when you activate this Effect, take a new Severity-1 Injury.

  • Reminder: Weapon Damage from multiple sources does not stack. Instead, the highest value is used.
  • When narrating disturbing content, be cognizant of your group's tone and accommodating to those who would like to "fast forward" through the description.
  • The sacrificial Injury received from activating this Effect cannot be prevented by any means or healed before 1 day has passed. It is shared with all Effects that use sacrifice. This Injury does not requires Stabilization or cause Battle Scars when it becomes Severe.
  • This consumable is destroyed when used and cannot be used again.
  • Attribute bonuses from multiple sources do not stack. Instead the highest bonus is used.

The code itself is rather normal, but whatever the Protocol is placed into is supernaturally enhanced when the code is activated that causes a force field to expand from the user onto the person.

If you succeed, you create a barrier around yourself, which absorbs the next Outcome + 4 Damage. The Damage reduction from the barrier is applied before Armor. This Artifact may only have 1 active barrier at a time.
