The blood soaked inside the bandages extend, animate, and twist like a set of tendril-like appendages, slamming into the ground and propelling the user forward. When activated mid-air, the bandages instead extend to latch onto whatever surface the user targets and pulls them forward.
Exert your Mind (unless asdf) and spend an Action. You must use up a pint of blood in order to activate this Effect.
You gain 4 additional limbs that function as standard human arms and hands. Lasts two hours.
Each additional limb you posses can take one Quick Action per Round without incurring a -2 dice penalty to your main Action. Each additional appendage you have gives you +1 dice to make and resist Grapples (up to a maximum bonus of +4 dice).
Any Battle Scars that affect or remove your additional limb will heal in a single week.
Your extra appendage can stretch to reach an additional 30 feet.
You may dedicate your extra Quick Action to contest any attempt to escape your Grapples. If you do so, you roll your full dice pool to contest and retain your Action to do anything that does not target the subject of your Grapple.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see asdf.
Your Extra Appendage is incapable of fine object manipulation.
After a moment, grayish mist is emitted from the necklace. The cloud then coalesces into cloaked, wraith-like beings that surround your target.
The wraiths use the voices of the innocents that have been harmed by the users actions.
What they’re saying is nearly incomprehensible due to the sheer quantity of voices attempting to whisper over each other, but the target gets the sense that the user must have done something terribly wrong.
If used on self, the wraiths taunt and mock the user. Unlike the others, the user recognizes each and every voice and how they are related to the user.
They're translucent and wouldn't inhibit vision.
When attacked, the wraiths let out a bloodcurdling wail and lunge for the attacker before bursting into ethereal flames.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action or Reaction. Select a Animate target within 20 feet. Roll Intellect + Investigation (5 dice) at Difficulty 6.
If you succeed, you create a barrier around your target, which absorbs the next Outcome +4 Damage. Any Damage absorbed by the barrier is reflected back to the attacker, up to a maximum of 4. Their Armor applies in full. The Damage reduction from the barrier is applied before Armor. This Artifact may only have 1 active barrier at a time.
You must maintain Concentration while using this Effect. The barrier will fall if you are interrupted, or if it absorbs the full amount of Damage. When a barrier falls, you cannot use this Effect again for a minimum of 2 Rounds.

If you are damaged while transformed, the damage is realized when you return to normal. If you are damaged before you transform, your inanimate form will appear partially damaged.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see your body cracks and bends into the shape of a full-sized F-35 Lightning jet..

Your minion is able to drive with a 7-dice pool.
After you finish activating this Effect, you cannot move quicker than a walk (max 15 feet per Round) for one minute and suffer a -1 dice penalty for an hour.
The baseball bat slammed into Vito's stomach with little fanfare, striking with the sound of slamming into a steel wall rather than the splintering of bone. A sinister smile crawled across the Elvis impersonator's lips, rather than the usual expected cries of agony.
At once, a torrent of sharp nails burst forth from the jacket that he wore, impaling the attacker with dozens of missiles.
Expend a point of Battery and spend an Action or Reaction. Roll Perception + Alertness (6 dice) at Difficulty 6.

The "Reaper" Assault Helmet is the signature piece of the Future Soldier's arsenal. It has a sleek, design and is made of a mysterious matte-metallic alloy. The wearer's face is exposed normally, but when activated, a blue holographic visor flickers to life in front of the eyes. This HUD contains information about the soldier's ammunition and shield status, but more significantly can detect enemy combatants. Anyone nearby who is holding a weapon is painted with a red dot that follows them in real time. This allows the Future Soldier to fire at painted targets in the dark, detect ambushes lurking around corners, and grants an overall tactical advantage.
Expend a point of Battery and spend an Action.
You automatically detect all people wielding weapons within 300 feet of you for the next hour. This includes any who come within range during the duration. You have a sense of how many valid targets are nearby, as well as their distance and direction.
When Winter Fang's glittering string is drawn, an ice arrow crystalizes nocked and ready to fire. These ice arrows melt quickly after piercing their foes, leaving deadly wounds instead of evidence.

Standard issue in the Future Soldier's home time, the Personal Shield Generator (PSG) projects a protective energy barrier around the body. It absorbs damage far better than traditional armor, but its battery is quickly drained. When depleted, the PSG must spend a few seconds recharging.
When struck, the normally-invisible field of the PSG flashes, revealing a bright yellow honey-comb pattern encasing the body.
You gain the following benefits as long as you are wearing this Artifact.
You have 6 Armor, which reduces incoming Damage. Armor from multiple sources does not stack.
Your Armor cannot be destroyed, and it always provides a minimum of 2 Armor regardless of any Armor shredding or penetration. It cannot be circumvented with Called Shots. When shredded, it returns to full potency in one hour.
Any time your Armor prevents Damage, your Armor rating is temporarily decreased by 2. Whenever it goes five Rounds without preventing any Damage, it is restored back to its full value.
Dazzle Glasses are advanced "black-tech" espionage gear. They can be styled as any sort sunglasses. When the wearer is recorded, they will quickly flash a non-visible laser into the recording device, destroying it after only a moment of footage is taken.
