You gain the following benefits as long as you are transformed.
Whenever you use your Movement, after all other calculations, the distance you may travel is doubled.
If your last Action was used for an all-out sprint or you are already accelerated, you may spend an Action to accelerate without a roll, adding 150 feet/Round (not affected by your speed bonus) to your sprint speed, to a max of an extra 300 feet/Round. As long as you stay at these speeds, you may use this distance per Round as your Free Movement.
Any terrain you traverse while accelerated must be passable by a standard vehicle at similar speeds. Stopping, turning sharply, or decelerating more than 150 feet/Round must be performed as an Action. Failing to decelerate with an Action (whether because of an obstacle, sudden unfavorable terrain, an Injury, or other event) deals 3 Damage which Armor does not reduce.
While using this Effect, you are immune to collision damage, and any roll made to target you is made at +2 Difficulty.
SCP-XXXX's tongue is long and prehensile, with a pointed tip and a series of sharp barbs along the underside. The tongue is able to stretch to a length of up to two meters when fully extended. It is covered in a layer of mucus that helps it slide through flesh and muscle easily, allowing SCP-XXXX to pierce the skin of its victims and extract their blood with minimal resistance.
The tongue is also highly muscular, allowing SCP-6284 to manipulate it with precision and strength. When not in use, the tongue is stored within SCP-6284 mouth, coiled up like a snake. The tongue's appearance is often described as both alluring and grotesque, with its sharp barbs and mucus-covered surface contrasting with its smooth, sinewy texture.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
You gain an additional limb that functions as a standard human arm and hand.
Each additional limb you posses can take one Quick Action per Round without incurring a -2 dice penalty to your main Action. Any Battle Scars that affect or remove your additional limb will heal in a single week.
Your extra appendage can be used to attack in exactly the same manner as a Thrusting Sword (Dex + Brawl, Dif 6, +2). If hit with this proboscis like appendage then the target gains a -1 dice penalty to all physical rolls..
Your appendage has a grip that is hard to shake. While grappling a target, when contesting their physical actions, you may roll your full dice pool, but it only counts as a Quick Action.
For just a couple of moments, the changeling focuses and runs her fingers over the areas on their body they are changing, over which a shimmer like a heavy dose of glitter (that mysteriously doesn't get EVERYWHERE) appears over the affected area and is absorbed into the body as it changes to the desired effect.

You cannot alter your clothes. You may add inhuman features to your disguise. A disguise cannot affect your Attributes or other stats.
You may roll Charisma + Crafts to attempt to make your disguise Beautiful. If your Outcome is 6 or higher, non-Effect Charisma rolls where your good looks could help are rolled at -2 Difficulty. If you fail or botch, you are ugly instead, and non-Effect Charisma rolls are made at +2 Difficulty.

The beastmaster shouts, and their human voice cracks into a deep, bestial roar. Their body swells with muscle, clothes melting into a thick pelt of fur. Seconds later the beastmaster is gone. Standing in their place is a massive grizzly bear.
However, even in human form the beast within remains close to the surface, and the beastmaster finds highly civilized social situations unbearable.

While transformed, you cannot use any equipment (including Artifacts and Consumables), and you cannot use your Active, Targeted, or Trap Powers. However, you can use your Passive Powers. Any equipment you are wearing transforms with you.

If you succeed, the Injury is reduced in Severity by your Outcome. If you reduce its Severity to 0, the Injury is fully healed. Otherwise, it is partially healed and will heal the rest of the way at its natural rate.

If your Outcome is greater than the Severity of the Injury you were attempting to treat, you may apply any excess Outcome to other Injuries on yourself.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see you drink blood directly from the vein.
