As soon as the attack reaches the user´s corpulent body, it is repelled by the sheer bearing of it´s belly. The attack bounces off of the belly, which acts as a huge-ass spring which reflects the damage intended to make.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Choose a dangerous enemy as a target, regardless of how far away they are. This Effect cannot be used unless being attacked. If a target does not consent to the transfer, you must roll Brawn + Brawl at Difficulty 6 to use the effect on them. They can resist by rolling either Body or Mind at Difficulty 6, depending on what you are attempting to transfer to them.
You may choose a single instance of one of the following to transfer from your target to yourself, or from yourself to them:
Jimmy flexes his fur and grows into a slobbering beast all he time he is better protected by his tough hide.

Anyone watching will see the contractor reach into their pocket and pull out a set of balloons, they can either be brightly coloured and patterned or the expected colour of what they have selected. They inflate each of them using their mouth then twist them together to represent the shape of what they have decided to make. Once this has happened the balloons slowly deflate with the usual whooshing sound. In place of what was once the air that inflated the balloons is the item the balloons represented. The item takes on the colour of the balloons used to make it. The rubber of the balloons appears to absorb into the item after deflation.

Oleg’s power is a fusion of bioalchemy and advanced medical science, allowing him to regenerate even the most grievously damaged tissue. Through his self-developed mutagenic compounds, infused with carefully measured source, he catalyzes a controlled reversion process—reconstructing lost limbs, repairing deep burns, and restoring tissue hardened by scarification. The process requires direct application, taking roughly a minute as the affected area reshapes itself, cells twisting and multiplying in a rapid yet deliberate cascade of biological correction.
The regenerated flesh is indistinguishable from the original, complete with sensation and function, but remains highly unstable for the first month. Even mild acids, harsh environments, or caustic substances can dissolve it with alarming ease. However, barring exposure to such hazards, the regrown tissue seamlessly integrates, painlessly returning full mobility and sensitivity to the patient within moments of the treatment’s completion.
Exert your Mind and spend a minute. Select a Living target within arm's reach. Your target must make a Trauma roll to reap the benefits of this Effect. They may choose to Resist the Effect and not make the roll. Select up to four Battle Scars on your target to treat.
The treated Battle Scars heals as you finish activating this Effect. If used on a Battle Scar caused by an Unstabilized Injury, that Injury is Stabilized.
Your patient is required to avoid acidic substances - not only those that cause damage, but also those in common food and beverages (pH equal or below 3.5) for the next month. If they violate this rule, your treatment is immediately reversed.
Something's wrong. Your palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy. There might be vomit on your sweater already, mom's spaghetti. You're nervous, but on the surface, you look calm and ready.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Living target within 25 feet. Roll Charisma + Performance (7 dice) at Difficulty 6. Your target may resist by rolling Body at Difficulty 8.
If you succeed, the target is afflicted with a Condition that causes any number of the following symptoms:
The affliction can be diagnosed with a Medicine roll, and may be cured by modern medicine through treatment at a fully equipped facility. Treatment outside of a facility may stop the affliction from worsening for a day, but will not cure the underlying Condition.
This Effect is not obvious, and the only sign you are using an Effect is ZedMan mouths the rap lyrics. If someone suspects that an Effect was used, they must roll Perception + Alertness, Difficulty 8 to pick up on your Tell.
This Effect ends if you are stunned, fall asleep, go unconscious, are incapacitated, die, or if your total Stress ever exceeds 5.
When Hikaru makes a drink and offers it to someone, once they take that first drink its like, they lose all sense of control. They just, do whatever he says.
Exert your Mind and spend at least one Action. All Sapient targets within 20 feet of you are affected. You must actively and obviously use Alcohol Bottle to activate this Effect. You must make a Trauma roll when you use this Effect. Its Difficulty cannot be reduced by any means. If you fail or Botch, you receive one Mind Damage and a new Trauma. Your target cannot be engaged in Combat. Communicate a command to your targets. Roll Charisma + Influence (8 dice) at Difficulty 6. Any affected targets may resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 7.
If the contested Outcome is positive, your targets will be compelled to follow your command to their best understanding of the letter and spirit of the command until they have completed it or for your Contested Outcome in hours. You cannot issue another suggestion to the target until 10 minutes after they have completed the first command or 10 minutes after a failure.
They will be unaware that they are under any sort of compulsion until the effect wears off, but they will appear obviously mind-controlled the entire time to anyone observing them. If you fail, they realize that you were attempting to influence them supernaturally with your command.
Your command can be an order to take an immediate Action, a conditional request, and an abstract goal. You cannot order a target to "do nothing," and they are free to take other Actions as they fulfill your request. Your command cannot be obviously self-destructive. The Effect ends if following your command would cause a target to cross one of their Limits in a way that would necessitate a Trauma roll.
You must have some means of communicating this command to your targets, but no one other than you and them will understand or perceive it.
This Effect ends if you are stunned, fall asleep, go unconscious, are incapacitated, die, or if your total Stress ever exceeds 5.
The Witch summons a crow, whispers a message to it, and sends it off to deliver her words. Half an hour later, the crow arrives at the recipient and repeats her message aloud in its croaking, animal voice.
Spend an Action. Select a target any distance away from you. You must have a specific target in mind, but you require only an intuitive understanding of them, such as their name, face, or Location.
You may send a single message to your target. It can be as complex or as large as you like. It takes at least 30 minutes before it is received.
The message may be intercepted while in transit, and may be overheard, read, or otherwise understood by anyone near either you or the recipient. You must share a common language for your target to understand the message.
This Gift cannot have more than 3 Drawbacks, and its Gift Cost is capped at 2.
Unimportant characters just can't seem to hit our hero with their attacks. Injuries that are sustained from underlings are conveniently non-severe.

You have 4 Armor, which reduces incoming Damage. Armor from multiple sources does not stack. This Armor cannot be circumvented with Called Shots.
Through the use of clever rhetoric, the spy is able to inspire a surge of emotion in a target with whom they are speaking.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Living target within 45 feet as well as a specific emotion. This Effect cannot be used unless you are engaged in conversation with the target. Roll Charisma + Influence (8 dice) at Difficulty 6. Affected targets can resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 6 -3 dice.
If you succeed, for the next minute, your target will do things they otherwise wouldn’t have done, inspired by the chosen emotion. 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 time-traveler spins the second hand on one of their watches and speeds up until they are a blur.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. You must actively and obviously use a watch to activate this Effect.
