Chimeric Form

3
You possess an augmented or inhuman body.
Used by Sandra Banks, Created by Iamangelofwar.
(Your specific augmentation must be physically visible in some way, but it does not need to make you appear outwardly monstrous or socially unacceptable. )

In her skin, in her blood, there are many things aching to be freed. All of them coalesce into the mythical chimera, a combination of creatures from all parts of the world. But how stable can such a creature actually be? Surely glowing, healing snakes being just the start are sure to overwhelm something inside. She will just have to see, and pray the side effects are minimal.


You gain the following benefits at all times.

You are permanently and visibly transformed: tattooed chimera. You are considered to be a Sapient, Living being when targeted. Your Dexterity is increased by 1.

Your appendages have 30 feet of reach.

Your body provides you with the functionality of surgical tools. If used to attack, these "tools" use the same stats as a small knife.

  • You may stretch, retract, or move your limbs a great distance once per Round.
