MONSTROUS AUGMENTATION: [Š̶͍Ȕ̸̲P̷̮͊Ē̶̘R̷͕̀ ̵̡͝S̴̠͗T̷͖̓R̶͕̔Ė̷͇N̷̞̾Ğ̵͈T̶̂͜H̷̼́]
Kyrie has developed a monstrous degree of strength and durability thanks to her mutations, allowing her to lift extraordinary weight and tank damage like it's nothing. When pushing her strength to the limit, her hair seemingly congeals and thickens as her blood pumps through her body.
You gain the following benefits as long as you have your VISCOUS, BLOOD RED HAIR.
Your Brawn rating is increased by 3. You may Exert your Mind to automatically gain an Outcome of 5 on any roll that uses Brawn (cannot be used on combat rolls or Effect activations).
Possession of this Power grants the following Battle Scar: BLOODIED KNUCKLES: Your hands tremble constantly: bruised, bloody, seeking action. You leave blood on whatever your bare hands touch, and fine-object manipulation is rolled at -1 dice, PATCHWORK FLESH: Strips of your skin have been replaced by unnerving, freakish grafts. All social rolls are made at +1 Difficulty. The Beautiful Asset is suppressed as long as you have this Battle Scar, and DEATH CORE: Your heart has mutated horrifically to pump the blood within you, leaving it susceptible to damage. Called shots to your heart (Outcome 6) deal +2 damage.
If you are witnessed actively using this Effect, whoever sees it can make a Perception + Alertness roll at Difficulty 6. A complete success reveals the source of your power.
You also gain the following effects:
- Absorb: As you are receiving an Injury, you may Exert your Mind to reduce its incoming Severity by your rating in Extra Brawn. Applies after Indomitable.
- Beast of Burden: You may now carry up to your lifting and hauling capacity without suffering an encumbrance penalty or needing to Concentrate. You do not tire from extended physical activity.
- Champion of the Caber Toss: You may lift an additional 2000 pounds per point of Brawn beyond 5, and you may throw items up to this weight to a distance of your throwing roll’s Outcome x10 feet.
- Indomitable: You cannot suffer an Injury with Severity greater than 6.
- Tough: You gain Armor equal to half your Brawn rating. This Armor cannot be penetrated or shredded and protects against falling Damage.
- Ham-Fisted: You cannot limit yourself when handling delicate objects or physically interacting with people. You may need to roll Dexterity + Athletics to avoid breaking things or causing unintended injury.
- Armor from multiple sources does not stack. Instead, the highest is used.
- If your VISCOUS, BLOOD RED HAIR is damaged, destroyed, or lost, you lose all benefits from this Effect for the next two months.

Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.
