The Crystalline Shield is an advanced form of Jessica's defensive abilities. The shield activates automatically in response to threats and incoming damage, creating an ethereal, glass-like armor that protects her from harm: It appears as a shimmering, near-invisible layer around her body, similar in light diffraction as crystal glass. Whatever it is, though, the material seems to be protective of the Infinite Traveller, lunging aggressively when attackers are close enough and instilling in her a wide array of cautions and suspicions.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
You have 4, which reduces incoming damage from all sources of physical attack except glass. Armor from multiple sources does not stack. This Armor cannot be circumvented with Called Shots.
When you take Damage from a source which is within 5 feet, deal back as much Damage as your Armor prevented.
As Mr. Kind invoked his powers, sigils glowed with a faint, pulsating light. Flanked by two of King Paimon's familiars, his eyes gleamed with anticipation. With a subtle gesture, he beckoned them forth, and they responded, their forms coalescing from the surrounding shadows. Like wraiths materializing from the darkness, they took shape, their eerie visages reflecting the eldritch power that coursed through them.
The familiars appeared as crouching, bent shadowy, cat-like in their movements, creatures. The impish long limbed forms, pulsing with eldritch light. Seemingly made of coalescing smoke, thick like burnt scentless rubber vapors, and void-like spaces. That bore glowing embers floating among the motes of starlight in the not entirely real substance. Chain-like tails, claws, and spines, the winged Gaunts stalked forward, their more shadow than substance forms, gaining substance.
Thin, and black, with bat-like wings and a long, spiny tail. They have no facial features, and their skin is smooth and rubbery.. With a final word, Mr. Kind stood as a master of the creatures forming around him, his ambitions soon to be realized with the aid of King Paimon's familiars.
"He can bestow dignitaries and provide familiars against enemies while binding anyone resisting him in his own chains." Daily kind smiles as he speaks.
The first King of Hell that Mr. Kind bargains with is Paimon. Paimon is known as a powerful entity who holds vast knowledge and abilities. He teaches all arts, philosophy, and sciences, unveiling secret truths and mysteries of the Earth, wind, and water. Paimon can reveal the depths of the mind and answer any inquiry the conjurer desires. Furthermore, he grants good familiars, bestows dignities, and binds individuals to the conjurer's will.
In the Abramelin tradition, Paimon's powers are extensive. They include foreknowledge of past and future events, dispelling doubts, summoning spirits, inducing visions, summoning and dismissing servant spirits, temporarily reanimating the deceased, flying, enduring underwater indefinitely, and the general ability to manifest various objects and people, even armor, as commanded by the magician.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. You must actively and obviously use The seal of Paimon to activate this Effect.
Summon a single Daemon at your location. They will last for two hours, or until they are destroyed. They are controlled by the GM but will follow any commands you give. You may have at most 2 minions active at a time.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see Creatures of void substance like smoke and fire becomes visible, plus they fucking tickle you, which is weird..
While Mikey wears his driving gloves his force of chutzpah gives enough power for even the heftiest of devices.
Exert your Mind and spend 10 Rounds to activate. Select a Object within arm's reach that is no larger than an SUV. You may target Alien technology, so long as you have an understanding of its intended function. This Effect cannot be used unless only useable as power source. You must actively and obviously use Driving Gloves to activate this Effect. More than half the target object must be present in order to begin repairs. Roll Intellect + Crafts at Difficulty 6.
If you succeed, your target is repaired back to a functional state. If you fail, you spend the full time working before realizing you cannot repair the target. If your target only requires fuel or power and is otherwise in working order, this Effect costs no Exertion, and the target is fueled/powered for the next 24 hours.
This Effect ends if you are stunned, fall asleep, go unconscious, are incapacitated, die, or if your total Penalty ever exceeds 5.
The witch, tired of tribulations, is acutely aware of the value of your own ass: her powers of observation have been sharpened to a supernatural level, transforming her natural mistrust of people and situations into an incredible shield of situational awareness. She picks up on subtle shifts in behavior, tone, and atmosphere, spotting threats before they fully materialize. While others may call it paranoia, Maggie knows better. Her instincts are rarely wrong, and this heightened awareness keeps her one step ahead. In her world, survival depends on seeing the unseen, and with this power, she’s practically untouchable.
