Eldritch Beast Trasformation The lesser evil, although not aesthetically

1
The power to temporarily transform into an Eldritch Werebeast.
Used by Norman Badeaux, Created by donniecesar.
(Anyone who witnesses you activate this Effect or for its duration is very likely to be disturbed to see an eldritch, demonic and feral creature emerge from the bust skin of a formerly mild man. )

As the transformation begins, the character's body convulses violently, bones cracking as they surge into a towering 9-foot monstrosity. Their skin tears apart, revealing sinewy muscles covered in coarse, brownish-red fur, each strand slick with a sheen of blood. The fur pulses with dark energy, emitting an acrid, unnatural smoke. Two long, jagged horns burst from their skull, curving slightly backward, their tips glistening. Their eyes blaze with a sickly, unnatural glow, and their mouth stretches into a snarl, revealing rows of razor-sharp teeth. The transformation culminates in a bone-chilling howl, a desperate sound that seems to tear the very air apart. Every step they take leaves scorched earth in their wake, as reality itself recoils from the presence of this monstrous, eldritch being.


Exert your Mind and spend a Quick Action.

You transform into an Eldritch Werebeast for 3 minutes. You have access to all of your Powers while you are an Eldritch Werebeast, 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: Fur armor (3 rating)

You may end this Effect prematurely as a Free Action.

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see an eldritch, demonic and feral creature emerge from the bust skin of a formerly mild man.

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.

Possession of this Power grants the following Trauma at all times: Uncontrollable Anger.

  • When narrating disturbing content, be cognizant of your group's tone and accommodating to those who would like to "fast forward" through the description.
  • Attribute bonuses from multiple sources do not stack. Instead the highest bonus is used.

The Dark Place consists of a black sky and endless pool of equally black water, a little less than ankle-deep, spreading in every direction as far as the eye can see. There are no noises around but the ones you make.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action. This Effect cannot be used unless your suit is in physical contact with water - at least enough surface area to cover the soles of your shoes.

You phase out of reality for up to 10 minutes. During this time, you cannot perceive or affect the outside world but may take mental and self-targeting Actions. You cannot move. Nothing can interact with you in any way.

When you phase out, you may bring up to 1 additional target in arm's reach with you. While phased out together, you may interact as if standing in an empty void that extends infinitely in all directions.

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 hazy reflection or shadow in the water at your location.

  • You may use your Free Movement on the Round you phase back in, but you cannot take an Action.

Your Body and Mind Penalties are reduced to 0. Lasts three hours.

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.

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

While transformed, you are obviously unusual, unnatural, or alien, and the average person will take a special interest in you.
