Legacy Power: Temporal Mutation

A small feathered head pops up from a snowbank, delivering an excited "Honk!"

A 1 Gift Inhuman Physiology Power used by Guido, created by Strazhari.

Description

Guido will never grow larger than the egg he hatched from, a side effect of the massive amounts of Temporal Radiation he was subjected to in "transit."
This mutation is also responsible for Guido's genius level intellect.

Not directly related to mutation, it seems that the fossil record failed to record his particular type of Diplodocus is an arctic variety, adapted to cold weather with a feather coat & insulating fat reserves. When faced with extreme heat, Guido has learned to dissipate the heat through his psychic shields, causing a flaring visible to the eye when this effect occurs.

It should be noted that Guido is effectively an animal despite these qualities.

System

This Power is passive and always in effect. Bonuses to Attributes and Abilities take the form of additional dice on the relevant rolls and do not affect Experience costs. As always, bonuses to the same dice pool from multiple sources do not stack, and the largest bonus is used.

Any Enhancements you take must be germane to the specific augmentation you've chosen.


Enhancements

  • Bundled Up (You are immune to damage from cold. If cold is a substantial component of other damage you would take (e.g. falling from a great distance into a vat of liquid nitrogen), that damage is reduced by 2 (in addition to Armor))
  • Heat Resistant (You are less susceptible to extreme heat. You have 2 Armor against heat damage, and can endure hot environments with ease.)
  • Able-bodied (Your body has a beneficial inhuman adaptation. This can provide up to +3 dice to a specific non-Attack Action (swimming, lockpicking, etc))
    • Chosen Action - Sprinting

Drawbacks

  • Tamable (You count as a Creature when targeted by Effects. You cannot ignore or decrease the effects of Stress for any Self-Control rolls you make.)
  • Misshapen (You cannot be mistaken for a normal human. You cannot always use standard human clothes, equipment, vehicles, and facilities, and when you can, you suffer an increased Difficulty.)
  • Mute (You cannot speak any coherent verbal language and must resort to other means of communication.)

Parameters
