HER BLOODIED HANDS PUNCH PUNCH KICK PUNCH BITE
With a vicious, brutal ferocity, Kyrie rips into her enemies using her whole body-- encompassing everything from standard unarmed strikes to biting and scratching. The unpredictable, feral nature of her attacks allows her to leverage her agility rather than raw strength.
You gain the following benefits as long as you are engaged in unarmed combat. You must actively and obviously be using bandages to gain the benefits of this Effect.
+2 dice to rolls for Attacking, Defending, and Clashing without a weapon. Unarmed attacks do +0 Weapon Damage (instead of -1). The target's Armor is fully effective against this damage.
Possession of this Power grants the following Battle Scar: HER BLOODIED HANDS: Your hands are perpetually bruised and bloodied. Any tasks requiring fine manual dexterity using your hands are rolled at +2 Difficulty, and anything you touch with your hands will be stained or dirtied by your blood.
Possession of this Power grants the following Trauma at all times: NEVER BACK DOWN NEVER WHAT???: When faced with the opportunity to perform an action in a more dangerous or exciting way, you must roll Self-Control to resist..
You also gain the following effects:
- Armored Fist: You cannot take Damage from attacking a dangerous material (such as steel armor, a spiked carapace, or an acidic blob). You may Defend against melee, projectile, or firearm attacks from any range and Clash with those in range of your attacks.
- Fight Circle: Only one opponent may engage you at melee range each Round.
- Precision Strikes: You may use Dexterity instead of Brawn on your attack rolls.
- Transcendence: You may Exert your Mind to Defend against any number of incoming Attacks this Round as a Free Action. While active, you can only Defend against attacks directed at yourself. When Defending against a mob using the Mob Combat rules, their Attack does not gain the normal Outcome bonus.
- If an enemy attacks you at melee range, you may only attack them that Round (unless they are defeated). Likewise, if you attack an enemy at Melee range, only they may attack you that Round (unless your attack defeated that enemy). Essentially, use standard kung-fu movie rules.
- Unlike the Ability Brawl, this Effect does not affect small weapons such as knives.

The Sons of Salem
We swear to secure our people against the wickedness and evil of the invisible world.
We swear to aid the afflicted.
We swear to stay ever vigilant and seek out the abominable witchcrafts committed in this country.
We humbly pray to be blessed by God to hold all those who consort with the Devil accountable. Amen
—Opening and closing prayer for Sons of Salem meetings.
The Sons of Salem is a loosely-organized conservative populist movement in the United States that preaches violent opposition to anything they perceive as witchcraft, demonic, or monstrous.
Blowhard podcaster Ted Gundy and former general of the mercenary group “Hognose,” Roland Rush, founded the movement in 2010 after a series of violent werewolf attacks and unexplained, supernatural murders in Tennessee. Memberships grew quickly, stoked by Ted’s fiery doomsday rhetoric on his podcast "Truth Seekers" and the aspiration of the masculine power embodied by Roland.
Although they speak of duty, honor, and maintaining the “natural order” of things, the Sons of Salem are driven by fear. They collect guns and appear at protests en-masse as a way of easing the all-consuming terror of their powerlessness. At the same time, they have conditioned themselves to respond to fear with “strength” (read: violence).
