Speedy Swimmer Shoot through the water like a torpedo

1
You possess incredibly fast movement.
Used by Soppy, Created by Omnitox.
(This Effect may or may not be obviously Alien.)

Your able to swim is fair superior than most, allowing you to traverse water at a high velocity.


You gain the following benefits as long as you are swimming.

Whenever you use your Movement, after all other calculations, the distance you may travel is increased by 25 feet.

  • Any Encumbrance penalty to your movement still applies, but you do not suffer from any sort of exhaustion.
  • Damage from a collision depends on your speed at the time, as well as what you hit. GM's discretion, but generally moving faster than a car on the freeway and hitting a dense, solid object like a wall or a tree should be lethal. Mundane armor will not apply, but any supernatural forms of protection will.
