Charlatans

Exert your Mind and spend an Action.

You transform into cat or any region-appropriate medium-sized animal for two hours or until you choose to end the Effect. See the Extended System text for stats.

While transformed, you cannot use any equipment (including Artifacts and Consumables), and you do not have access to any of your Powers. The equipment you are wearing does not transform with you.

Injuries and Wound Level are carried over between forms. However, transforming can never kill you; you merely remain Incapacitated until your Injuries are sufficiently healed.

You transform into Child Sized Jerboa with Hands for 30 minutes. You have access to all of your Powers while you are Child Sized Jerboa with Hands, and you can use your equipment. Your Battle Scars, Injuries, and physical Liabilities are carried over between forms. Reverting from your Alternate Form cannot cause your existing Injuries to kill you. Instead, you remain Incapacitated.

While transformed, your Attributes are the same. You do not suffer any Stress while transformed.

While transformed, instead of your normal clothes and equipment, you are equipped with: Red Barret, Jerboa AK, Bandolier with extra mags, and a lit Cigar.

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see a Child Sized Jerboa with human hands.

If you become Incapacitated or suffer an Injury Severity 4 or greater, you revert from your Alternate form.

Exert your Mind and spend 1 minute. This Effect cannot be used unless you drink blood directly from a human until it injures them. Choose a specific Injury on yourself that has not yet been treated with this Effect and roll Brawn + Occult ( dice) at Difficulty 6.

This counts as a successful Makeshift Stabilization if the Injury was not already Stabilized; any Battle Scars caused by the Injury will remain.

If your Outcome is greater than the Severity of the Injury you were attempting to treat, you may apply any excess Outcome to other Injuries on yourself.
