Neth Ratel

A 5-Victory Novice Contractor played by Riley in Maelstrom

Neth Ratel is a amnesiac honey badger working as an independent handyman who will risk her life to free the population from the oppressive and creatively repressive grip of capitalism and the super rich.

She is 22 years old, and often appears as short redheaded tomboy with a halter tank top, denim jacket, ripped jeans, and boots. She doesn't look anywhere near as strong as she actually, her forearms are wrapped in bandages, and her bicep is tattooed with an obscure design.

Neth Ratel lives in Maelstrom, a setting where videos of the supernatural go viral every day. Her journal has 1 entry.

Initiative: 0 dice

Movement: 0 feet

Dash: 0 feet

Perception + Alertness: 0 dice

At the start of Combat, roll Initiative: Dexterity + Perception Difficulty 6.

Each round of Combat represents 3 seconds of near-simultaneous action.

It's my Turn

You get one Movement and one Action on your turn every Round of Combat.

Movement

Movement is taken immediately before OR after your Action. It cannot be split.
You may Move (0) feet for free. Minimum 5 feet.
You may Dash up to an additional (0 feet).
- Dashing penalizes your Action -1 die per 5 feet.
All-out Sprint: instead of using free Movement or Dash, you may spend your Action and roll Brawn + Athletics ( dice) Difficulty 6. You move (0 + (Outcome x 5) Feet).

Actions

Attack with your weapon or hands.
Evade by rolling to Defend or Dodge. Your Outcome is "spent" to reduce the Outcome of any incoming attacks until your next Action.
Activate a Power or use an Ability as normal.
Hold your Action by declaring an Action and a triggering event. If the event occurs before your turn on the next Round, you perform the Action.

I'm being attacked

If you have not yet spent your Action this Round, you may use it as a Reaction.

Reactions

Dodge by rolling Dexterity + Athletics ( dice) Difficulty 6. Your Outcome is subtracted from the attacker's.
Defend with your weapon by rolling its attack roll. Your Outcome is subtracted from the attacker's. Availability depends on weapon match-up (tap/hover).
Clash with the attacker using the same roll you would use to Defend. The higher Outcome (not contested) is treated as the result of a successful, undefended attack roll against the loser.

Desperate Defense

If you have already used your Action, you may Exert your Mind to perform a Reaction. Your next Round's Action receives a -2 dice penalty. You cannot Clash as a Desperate Defense.

Will to Survive

Once per Contract, you may reduce the severity of an incoming Injury up to 4 Severity levels (to a minimum of Severity 4). You take a point of Mind damage and suffer a Major Battle Scar that lingers after the Injury is healed, even with proper Stabilization.

If an attack's Outcome is positive after defense, it results in a new Injury with Severity = Outcome + Weapon damage - Armor

Injuries

(Neth Ratel is unharmed)

(TapClick for Severe Injury reference)

Injuries Severity 4+ cause a Battle Scar and require Stabilization

Stabilization is the Injury's main treatment, and each Injury can only be successfully Stabilized once

Unstabilized Injuries worsen by 1 Severity level every half hour

Proper Stabilization

Requires an advanced first aid kit for Severity 4 Injuries, a field surgery kit for Severity 5 Injuries, and a surgery theater for Severity 6+ Injuries.

Roll Intellect + Medicine, Difficulty equal to Severity

An Outcome of 1 or greater will Stabilize the Injury and stop its degradation.
Complete success (Outcome 4+) puts the Injury on track to heal clean: its Battle Scar heals with it.
Failed attempts can be retried at +1 Difficulty per failure.
On a Botch, the Injury's Severity increases by 1.

Makeshift Stabilization

Attempt a major treatment using insufficient or improvised medical equipment.

Roll Intellect + Medicine, Difficulty > Severity

(Difficulty based on materials and tactics used)

Any positive Outcome (1+) will Stabilize the Injury and stop its degradation.
However, any Outcome less than 4 increases the Injury’s Severity by 1. Botches also worsen its Battle Scar.
Regardless of Outcome, any Battle Scars caused by the Injury will persist after it is fully healed.
Failed attempts can be retried at +1 Difficulty per failure.

Self-stabilization attempts are rolled at +1 Difficulty.

Circumstances

Circumstances describe your situation.

Examples include enemies, wealth, notoriety, social status, contacts, fame, and imprisonment.

Because each Playgroup has its own setting, Circumstances record the Playgroup they were acquired in.

Conditions

From Assets and Liabilities

Attuned Autoimmune Your background has exposed you to a wide variety of toxins and diseases, and you have adapted to resist. +2 dice to resistance rolls against any diseases or toxins.

Paranoia You have a natural distrust of everyone around you, and are always on edge looking for threats. You must roll Self Control in order to let another person remain in a position where they could easily hurt you, or to allow someone else to perform a task which is necessary to keep yourself safe. If you fail, you may Exert your Mind to overcome your fear.

Nightwalker You find the daylight unbearable. You suffer a -3 dice penalty as long as you are exposed to sunlight. This stacks with any other penalty you have.

Contortionist You are unusually flexible, and may squeeze through small spaces with ease. Reduce the Difficulty of any roll to escape a grapple or Dexterity roll involving flexibility by 2.

Cat-Eyes Your eyes catch the light in the dark like a cat or dog's, granting low-light vision. You suffer no penalty to rolls in low-light situations. You cannot see in pitch blackness.

Lanky You are particularly tall and have long limbs. Your "touch" range is ten feet instead of the standard five.

Born Runner You are built specifically for running. +5 feet of free Movement, +2 dice to all-out sprint rolls.

Toggle Extended System

Reminder: Bonus Damage stacks with Weapon Damage, but does not stack with any other Bonus Damage. Instead, the highest Bonus Damage is used.

Ratel Transformation

(Tap to show system) (Click to show system)

(Tap to show system)

TBD

Exert your Mind and spend an Action to activate. Make a Trauma roll when you activate this Effect.

You transform into Honey Badger until you transform into something else. You cannot transform into a flying creature. See the Extended System text for stats.

While transformed, you cannot use any equipment (including Artifacts and Consumables), and you do not have access to any of your Powers. Any equipment you are wearing transforms with you.

Injuries and Wound Level are carried over between forms. However, transforming can never kill you; you merely remain Incapacitated until your Injuries are sufficiently healed.

Toggle Extended System

Creature Stats
- Medium (large house cat up to human) Body 3. Brawn 1. Dexterity 3. Fall damage reduced by 1.
All creatures get +3 dice to any non-combat Action that they are naturally adapted for. All creatures Medium and larger may attack by rolling Body, dealing +0 Damage (+1 for “predators”). Gms and Playgroup leaders can apply other bonuses and effects to specific animals.

Ratel Strength

You possess superhuman strength and toughness.

(Tap to show system) (Click to show system)

(Tap to show system)

Neth's strength and constitution have become a staple of her person, aided by her tough skin and sharp claws!

You gain the following benefits at all times.

Your Brawn rating is increased by 1. 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).

You also gain the following effects:

Tough: Half your Brawn acts as Armor against all incoming sources of damage.

Relentless

You possess tolerance to pain and distractions.

(Tap to show system) (Click to show system)

(Tap to show system)

Honeybadgers are fearless creatures that will fight until the bitter end no matter what!

You gain the following benefits at all times.

Your Body and Mind Penalties are reduced to 0.

If you are Stunned, asleep, drugged, or otherwise made unconscious for any reason other than being Incapacitated, you may Exert your Mind to wake up. Any penalty which was caused by this condition is removed.

Possession of this Power grants the following Trauma at all times: Roll trauma to stop fighting once you've started..

Ratel Claws

You possess an augmented or inhuman body.

(Tap to show system) (Click to show system)

(Tap to show system)

Honeybadger physiology is cracked. Even in her human form, her claws and teeth are razor sharp and her body is uniquely able to move in conjunction with her Grit. When she gets going, very little can actually stop Neth.

You gain the following benefits at all times.

You are permanently and visibly transformed: Long Fingernails and Thicker Hair, particularly on her back. You are considered to be a Sapient, Living Creature when targeted..

No single organ in your body is critical for life. If any body part is separated, it lives and can take Actions for one hour. Attacks do not get bonuses from targeting specific body parts. You cannot suffer an Injury with Severity greater than 6.

You may make a Extending Fingernails (Knives) attack without additional equipment.

Toggle Extended System

If you become split into multiple pieces, the Player controls the "main" piece, while the GM controls the others. Only the main piece can activate Effects.

Ratel Jump!

The power to leap across vast distances and tremendous heights.

(Tap to show system) (Click to show system)

(Tap to show system)

Neth may not look it, but she's way way stronger than she looks. With the physical prowess similar to that of a Honey Badger, who doesn't look so strong or dangerous upon first glance, and with the finesse of a parkour runner, Neth leaps with her legs and soars through the air with grace. And thanks to her tough skin and sturdy interior, she can survive long falls like nothing.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action to activate. Select a Location which is at most 75 feet away horizontally or 15 feet away vertically.

You jump to the chosen location. If the landing is precarious, the GM may call for a roll to land safely. You will never take fall damage from successfully landing a jump made with this Effect.

You may activate this Effect while in free-fall, as long as your target Location is a surface on which you can land. You are immune to fall damage.

Toggle Extended System

If you are Encumbered, the maximum range is cut in half. If Encumbrance has reduced your total movement to 0, you cannot activate this Effect.
vertical jump height measures to the bottom of your feet, so your total vertical reach is at least a body length greater.
Rolls to land safely will generally be Athletics, but GMs may call for a different roll at their discretion if it makes sense for the specific circumstances.
You may only use this Effect once per Round of combat, regardless of any Enhancements you have taken.
You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
