Ollie drops a few factoids about received visions, potentially traumatising a target.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Sapient target within 20 feet. Roll Perception + Alertness Difficulty 6. Affected targets may resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 7. If they are incapacitated or unconscious, they fail automatically.
If the Contested Outcome is positive, the target loses that much Source. Once their Source is depleted, excess Outcome is applied as Mind Damage. If you deal at least 3 Mind damage, the target gains a new Trauma of your choice. The Trauma should be general and not specifically mention you. You should not have to be involved to trigger the Trauma.
This Trauma may be removed by Effects or mundane therapy, as normal. Affected targets are aware that they are being attacked and can generally tell who did it.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see you reveal their potential future.
The Assimilator lightly touches the back of an unsuspecting passerby, apologizes and goes along their way.
The Assimilator lightly touches the back of an unsuspecting passerby, apologizes and goes along their way.
Spend an Action. Select a target within arm's reach. This Effect cannot be used unless the target is living.
Your target is marked with microscopic alien parasites swimming in the target's bloodstream. The mark can only be discovered with a deep medical inspection or Effect. Removal inflicts a Severity 1 Injury on the target.
You are aware of the marked target's direction and distance from you. This lasts for the next month, or until either the mark is removed, or you choose to end the Effect. You can have up to 3 marks active.
You may activate another Effect through your Mark as though you were standing at its location. This destroys the Mark.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see a black centipede head inserting a proboscis-like appendage into your target, injecting them with something.
This Gift's Cost is capped at 2 and cannot be increased further.
producing a sheet of brilliant red paper from my notebook, I fold a tulip and give it to you to hold as I work to stabilize your wounds. the sheer beauty of it tethers you to life, keeping you from the empty peace of death. where I touch you, you feel a biting winter cold on your skin for a few minutes.

You also gain the following effects:
(Does a ritual that transforms the corpse a bird into a raven under the witchs' control.)
Under the moonlight the struggle of feathers breaks the cricket's chorus. Circe's mark etched into ground underfoot, a bound pigeon laying atop it. A young witch unsheathes her athame, it's silver blade reflecting the moon rays in the poor pigeon's eye. As the blade comes down with a sickening squelch, the pigeons' death throes echo throughout the woods, followed quickly by muttered incantations, the witch turns the blade on herself, allowing it to pierce her flesh, blood dripping on the fresh carcass below. The blade glows faintly, pulsing with an ethereal indigo glow as the pigeon's carcass begins to undergo a transformation, the blood mixing and rising into the air before shooting back into the lifeless body as it begins to twitch and turn violently, it's feathers and beak becoming an distinct ebony as it rises, it's newly feathered head looks at the young witch, giving her squawk and a bow. The witch smiles in delight.
Take a Severity-1 Injury and spend one minute. This Effect cannot be used unless you sacrifice a feathered creature under direct moonlight. You must actively and obviously use an athame or knife to activate this Effect.
Summon a single Raven at your location. They will last until they are destroyed. They are controlled by the GM but will follow any commands you give. You may have at most 3 minions active at a time.
After you finish activating this Effect, you cannot move quicker than a walk (max 15 feet per Round) for one minute and suffer a -1 dice penalty for an hour. Exhaustion’s penalty and duration stacks with multiple activations.
You may only use this Effect once per day.
Metallic silver butterflies dart out and surround the target blocking any damage to said target
Spend an Action or Reaction to activate. Select a Animate target within 20 feet. You must actively and obviously use Metal flower to activate this Effect. Make a Trauma roll when you activate this Effect. Roll Charisma + Alertness at Difficulty 6.
If you succeed, you create a Barrier around your target, which absorbs the next Outcome Damage. The Damage reduction from the Barrier is applied before Armor, and is treated like Armor by any effects such as Armor Penetration. You may only have 1 active barrier at a time.
You must maintain Concentration while using this Effect. The Barrier will fall if you are interrupted, or if it absorbs the full amount of damage. When a Barrier falls, you cannot use this Effect again for a minimum of 2 Rounds.
This Gift's level is capped at 2 Gifts and cannot be increased further.
The remnant's of the dragon soul combined with a greater iron intake react in a newly grown organ, a supernatural crucible, resulting in a greater healing ability and regrowing limbs with the ingested metal.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
Any Injury you receive heals quickly, reducing its Severity by one level every 6 hours. Any Injuries you receive while this Effect is active do not deteriorate over time. However, any Battle Scars caused by such an Injury will remain unless it is Properly Stabilized as normal.
All Injuries you receive are considered Properly Stabilized. You may also choose to heal any Battle Scar on yourself that may not have been caused by an Injury. Doing so takes one day, and the Battle Scar affects you fully until that time.
Once an Injury has been reduced in Severity by two levels, it no longer benefits from this effect and instead heals as normal.
The aquamancer is an adept swimmer and moves with agility in or out of the water.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
You may move easily and without a roll in any of the following situations.
The Toon performs some sort of cartoonish act of violence. This may be handing someone a bomb, hitting someone with a cartoon mallet, burping a burp that is so noxious it melts flesh, or anything else as long as it is cartoonish.
The attack is more of a throwaway gag than a plot element, so any props or properties of the attack are incidental and disappear immediately. Animated mallets evaporate in a puff of smoke, fire does not spread, and electricity cannot power devices.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a target within 45 feet. Roll Charisma + Performance Difficulty 6. The target may contest by rolling to Dodge or Defend as a Reaction, Difficulty 6.
If the contested Outcome is positive, the target takes that much Damage plus 4. Armor is fully effective against this damage.
True to their namesake, the hacker can penetrate the security of any computer system, granting access to its informational stores, or, in a pinch, allowing them to issue commands. The hacked system will display a flickering image of a ghost until it is dismissed.
While hacking, The Technician's fingers move with supernatural speed, blurring like a ghost.
Exert your Mind and spend 1 minute. Select a Computer within arm's reach. Does not work on Alien technology. Roll Intellect + Technology, with the Difficulty set by the GM depending on the security of the system you are hacking. Sapient targets can resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 6.
If you succeed, you may issue a single command to the targeted system. This command must have a specific outcome or be a request for specific login credentials. The command you issue must be within the machine's current capabilities. For example, you cannot order a standard security camera to grow legs and walk around.
If your command does not require bypassing the security of the target (for example, typing on a computer that is unlocked), you do not need to Exert your Mind to activate this Effect, and activation only takes a single Action.
Your Hack cannot be reversed through mundane means for a number of hours equal to your Outcome.
Every hack you make leaves behind a flickering image of a ghost in the system as a personal "calling card" that informs anyone who uses the system that the hack occurred.
Nature is the beastmaster's domain. While in the wilds, they can climb trees and cliffs with ease and dash through dense underbrush that anyone else would need a machete to navigate.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
You may move easily and without a roll in any of the following situations.
You only gain the benefits of this effect if you are in an area without a human building within 300 feet.
The Psychic can speak directly into someone's mind, engaging in an entirely telepathic conversation. While they do, they take on a blank, vacant stare in the direction of their target, and appear to be muttering gibberish to themselves under their breath.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a target any distance away from you. You must have a specific target in mind, but you require only an intuitive understanding of them, such as their name, face, or Location. This Effect cannot be used unless you can see your target.
You open up a line of communication to your target, and may converse with them as long as one of you maintains Concentration
The conversation will only be perceived by the intended recipient. You must share a common language for your target to understand the message.
