Legacy Powers
Trickster Mastery - 8 Gift Illusion Power
Coyote spirit, master of illusion and deception
Exert your Mind, spend an Action, and make a Wits + Influence Difficulty 6. The Difficulty depends on the complexity of the intended illusion and is at the GM's discretion. Success allows you to generate a visual illusion that is No larger than an SUV and is attached to either a target or a Location. The illusion will remain in place for 1 Hour.
This illusion may have moving parts, but they will stick to a fixed, predetermined, simple motion unless you maintain concentration in order to "puppeteer" them. If it is attached to a target, it will follow them when they move, but otherwise cannot move to a new location on it's own. Making them engage in complex, spontaneous interaction with the real world may require additional rolls.
Upon observing an active illusion, a person can make a Mind roll, difficulty 7. If their Outcome is greater than the Outcome on your initial roll, they realize they are viewing an illusion, though it will still be visible to them for the duration. If they investigate the illusion and notice it is non-corporeal or otherwise behaves in a bizarre manner, they conclude it is an illusion without a roll.
An illusion can show any image that fits the size restriction, but it cannot create a direct replica of an existing living being, and it may only affect a person's sense of sight, not hearing, smell, taste, touch, or other senses.
Illusions cannot be used as attacks. For example, you cannot create an illusion of the sun to blind people.
-
Concealed: Using this Effect is not obvious. Choose a Tell that occurs only when you use the Effect; if-- and only if-- someone suspects that a Effect was used, they must roll Perception + Alertness, Difficulty 8 to pick up on your Tell.
- Tell: A twinkle in the fox form's eye
- Portable: Your illusion may be "attached" to a person or object, and it will be fixed to them or it, rather than to the initial location the illusion was cast. If the person it is attached to sees through your illusion, they may dispel it at will.
- Sounds Like A Duck, Smells Like A Duck: Your illusion may now project sounds and smells.
- Replicate: Your illusion may be a copy of a specific being. The illusion is still created from your mind, and so you cannot learn anything new about the individual and the representation is limited by your familiarity.
- Reach Out And Touch Me: Your illusion now feels real to the touch and has a taste. It can still be broken if struggled against or if it would injure a target.
-
Conditional: This Effect is only available when a certain condition is met. This condition must be severe enough that this Gift is unusable the majority of the time.
- Condition: Alternate Form (fox) Only
Fox's True Aim - 2 Gift Archery Mastery Power
The trickster fox has a masterful skill with a bow- though easily surpassed by the raw skill of others.
Passive, always in effect. Successful attacks with bows and arrows will do [[additional-damage]] more damage. The target's Armor is Reduced to 1/2, rounded up.
- Razor String: You are proficient in using your bow as a melee weapon in dire circumstances. Your parameters apply to this use of the bow as well as your arrows.
- Payload: Your projectiles can carry a payload of up to 3 lbs without a penalty.
- Bullet Parry: You may React to and Defend against firearms and other projectiles.
- Pin Down: If your attack hits a target near a wall or a floor, the projectile pierces through them, pinning them to the wall or floor. Unpinning oneself quickly will increase the relevant Injury’s Severity by 1.
-
Conditional: This Effect is only available when a certain condition is met. This condition must be severe enough that this Gift is unusable the majority of the time.
- Condition: Primitive bows Only
-
Conditional: This Effect is only available when a certain condition is met. This condition must be severe enough that this Gift is unusable the majority of the time.

Skinwalker's Pact - 2 Gift Mundane Catalog Power
The great coyote spirit is a master shapeshifter, and Deltauros won his ability in a bet, over how far they could throw a white man.
You may transform into one of up to [[number-animals]] non-human, non-flying creatures. These creatures may be aesthetically supernatural but cannot bestow any supernatural abilities. They must have analogous stats to an extant, living, mundane animal. You do not have access to any of your Powers while transformed.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action transforming into one of the following creatures: Dog, (medium size German Shepard mix), golden eagle.. You remain transformed for up to one hour and may end the effect at will.
Your Injuries persist between forms, with potentially lethal results.
You should record the Attributes and Body score of your chosen creatures when you take this Power. Otherwise their stats are at the GM's discretion. You adopt the new form's Attributes (other than Intellect) and Body rating.
- Quick Change: Your transformation is nearly instant. Instead of requiring a full Action, you may activate this Power as a Quick Action [-2 dice to your main Action].
- Fur Coat: Your clothes change with you and are returned when you change back.
- Take Wing: The Creatures you transform into may fly.
-
Focus: Using this Effect requires a specific kind of item.

Great Porcupine - 3 Gift Armor Power
Channelling the power of the great porcupine spirit infuses him with the durability to absorb almost any blow, covering him in 6" razor sharp spines and hard bony plates over his skin.
He can tense his body up to extend the quills out, while retracting himself into a tighter ball.
You have 4 Armor, which reduces incoming Damage. Armor from multiple sources does not stack. Passive, always in effect.
- Defensive Curl: You may Exert yourself and spend your Action defending to double your armor rating for the Round. May be performed as a Reaction.
- Thorns: When you take damage from a source which is within 5 feet, deal back damage equal to half your Armor rating, rounded up.
- Spectral Plate: Your Armor protects you against Injury from non-physical sources as well.
-
Achilles Heel: Your armor does not apply to a specific type of material or attack
- Weakness: White Ash coated weapons
-
Focus: Using this Effect requires a specific kind of item.
- Object: Porcupine Quill
- Active: This Power is no longer passive. Spend an Action and Exert your Mind to activate it for one hour.
Porcupine's Blessing - 2 Gift Afflict Power
Though mildly poisonous, the concern is actually the physical design, and the way the spines work their way deeper with each movement.
Exert your Mind, choose a target within Arm's Reach, and roll Wits + Occult Difficulty 6 as a Committed Action. The target may roll Body, Difficulty 6 as a Free Action to resist.
If you succeed, the target takes a Severity 1 Injury that is not stopped by Armor. This Injury will worsen in Severity by 1 level every 10 minutes. The target begins experiencing noticeable symptoms immediately. If the target is cured, the Injury remains but does not worsen.
The target or anyone who examines them may roll Wits + Animals Difficulty 6 as a Committed Action to diagnose their affliction and determine how to treat it. The target may be cured by Remove every spine fragment.
If this Injury would kill the target, they may roll a single die, Difficulty 6. If they succeed, they survive and are cured.
-
Triggered: You cannot manually activate this Effect. Instead, choose a triggering event, always outside your control, that activates this Effect without requiring an Action or Exertion cost from you.
- Triggering Event: Being damaged by Deltauros' armor.
- Treatable: The target may also be cured if the Deterioration is stabilized as though it were a Severity 6 Injury (Intellect + Medicine Difficulty 8, requires equipped facilities (vet clinic, doc office).
Coyote form - 1 Gift Alternate Form Power
Coyote form is clever, but occasionally too impulsive for his own good.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action transforming into Humanoid Coyote with glistening fur. You must spend up to 30 minutes in your alternate form. You may end your transformation at will.
You have access to all of your Powers when you are Humanoid Coyote with glistening fur. Restricting other powers to your alternate form is a valid use of the Conditional drawback. Your Battle Scars are still present in your Alternate Form.
- Combat-Ready: You do not suffer wound penalties while in your Alternate Form.
- Different Body: The Injuries and Battle Scars of your Alternate Form and your true form are tracked separately.
-
More-Boosted Attribute: Gain an additional +1 to an Attribute which has already been enhanced.

Trickster's Instincts - 2 Gift Mythic Dexterity Power

A given Contractor may have a maximum of one Mythic Attribute. This Power can only be taken by Contractors who have purchased the fifth level of Dexterity.
- Centered: You have perfect balance. You cannot be knocked over, and can maintain your footing regardless of the size or stability of the material underneath you.
- The Best Defense: You may take any actions as a Reaction, other than Effect activations. You must target whatever you are Reacting to, if applicable.
-
Samson: A marking, physical trait, or unique item is the source of your power. Losing it removes all benefits for the next 2 months. If someone witnesses you using this Effect, they get a Perception check to determine the source of your power.
