A spectral hand of mist appears and touchs the hat. From that point to holder and all of there thing turn into a mist like form of themselves. Later solidifying when chosen.

A gift from Santiago mother, her spirit pulls the holder over to the other side temporarily to pull them out of danger. Wether that if from being attacked or from the dangers of their own curse.

You phase out of reality for up to 4 Rounds. During this time, you cannot affect the outside world or take any Actions. You cannot move. Nothing can interact with you in any way.

When you activate this Effect, you may limit its duration to a period of your choosing. If you are able, you may also end it as a Free Action on your initiative.

You leave a ghostly image of the holder at your location.

  • When triggered, the Effect activation resolves immediately after the triggering Action. It is not Reaction speed.

A system of phased disassembly arrays inside of Fleet Officer Armitage's bones enable him to deconstruct, and reconstruct, nearby items, storing the molecular mass of them in 'another place'.

There's math that explains it, but it's always gone over his head.

Spend a Quick Action.

You may withdraw an item from your stash, or add an item that is within arm’s reach to your stash. You may only stash targets which are in your possession, grappled, or otherwise controlled by you.

You may store any targets in your stash, each no larger than something which could fit inside an SUV (4,000 liters), and you may store up to 3 things at a time.

You may choose to equip any equipment you withdraw at no additional cost.

Animate targets may Resist being stashed.

Possession of this Power grants the following Trauma at all times: Fit Form Function - Roll self-control to ever remove your uniform or to fall out of Stellar Navy apperance regulations.

  • "Equip" refers to drawing a gun, putting on a piece of armor, etc.
  • Containers which hold multiple things may count as a single item so long as the things within are generally packaged together. For instance, you may stash a clip full of bullets, a medical kit full of medical supplies, or a box of crackers, but you cannot stash a backpack full of miscellaneous equipment.
  • You may only attempt to store Objects which are free-standing and disconnected from other things. The use of this Effect will not allow you to sever any connections holding an Object in place.
  • The Maximum Object Size parameter is intended to roughly capture the weight / size restriction of items and isn’t intended to restrict shape. GM discretion is advised. A human being is level 4 in the Maximum Object Size parameter.

Exert your Mind (unless you win a coin flip) and spend an Action. Roll a single D10 as a critical failure check. If you roll a 1, the Effect fails, and you are returned to true form for 1 hour, as well as being unable to transform for this duration. You also receive a Severity-2 Injury.

You transform into the last Creature you touched until you transform into something else. See the Extended System text for stats.

While transformed, you cannot use any equipment (including Artifacts and Consumables), and you cannot use your Active, Direct, or Trap Powers. However, you can use your Passive 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.

While transformed, you may speak and use any Influence or Communication Powers you posses.

Possession of this Power grants the following Trauma at all times: Transformatophilia: You must roll Self-Control to return to your true form, and also make this roll if you are ever returned to your true form.

You transform into a small, swirling cyclone of water and wind that shifts from the size of a basketball to a person for the next day. You may end the effect early and return to your normal form at will. Your structure must remain relatively contiguous. Observers will view you as an unusual entity moving with a singular purpose.

You may spend an Action to reduce one of your Injuries’ Severity by 2, as long as you obtained the Injury while transformed and the separated pieces could reasonably be rejoined.

You cannot communicate, use equipment, or use Gifts while transformed. Your equipment does not transform with you beyond basic body coverings. You cannot carry any items while transformed.

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.

You transform into a Werewolf for 30 minutes. You have access to all of your Powers while you are a Werewolf, and you can use your equipment. Your Battle Scars, Injuries, and physical Liabilities are carried over between forms. While transformed, your Brawn is increased by 1 and your Perception is increased by 1.

Your alternate form is its own deadly weapon. Unarmed attacks made in your alternate form deal +3 Bonus Damage (instead of the typical -2).

You do not suffer any Penalty while in your Alternate Form.
