Resurrection Man A taloned hand erupts from a freshly dug grave, denying the hand of death.

3
Requires Seasoned
You possess the ability to rapidly heal yourself.
Used by Edgar Stokes, Created by Strazhari.

Edgar seems to shrug off wounds easily, blood clots almost immediately, though deep wounds will remain for some time.

This process is hindered if the wounds inflicted by Acid - while Edgar's scabrous, dragon-infused flesh is resistant to flames, Acid will dissolve it beyond recovery

After swimming within the flesh of the Provider, Edgar's healing abilities have been wildly enhanced - however, the wounds itch, crawl, & visibly form tumors while healing: This can be maddening to the Ghoul, who will sometimes succumb to a desire to gnaw at the regenerating flesh, creating terrible scars.

You gain the following benefits at all times.

Any Injury you receive from a source other than Acid heals quickly, reducing its Severity by one level each hour. Any Injuries you receive while this Effect is active automatically count as a successful Proper Stabilization and do not deteriorate further. Any Battle Scars caused by such an Injury will heal with the Injury.

As long as at least half your body remains intact, you cannot die and remain at Incapacitated, regardless of how many Injuries you take. It is clear to observers that you are still alive.

You may Exert your Mind and spend an Action to reduce the Severity of one of your Injuries by 1. Does not affect Injuries suffered as an activation cost for Effects.

Possession of this Power grants the following Trauma at all times: Self-Mutilation.

Injuries you receive from Acid are increased in Severity by 1.

  • The increase in Injury Severity stacks with any similar effects, such as the Vulnerable drawback on Inhuman Physiology.

You gain the following benefits at all times.

Your senses are enhanced in the following way.

  • Smell: Your nose is highly sensitive and can differentiate between scents the way a dog can, as well as recognize things you have smelled before.
  • Electroreception: You may detect electromagnetic fields, electric currents, and even neurological activity in a 25 foot radius from yourself at all times. When detecting neurological activity, you learn nothing but the creature's rough size.

  • When you are within 25 feet of range, your electroreception sense is sufficient for aiming.

You gain the following benefits at all times.

You may understand and communicate to as if you are fluent in a relevant language.

This also includes understanding any recorded communications from the relevant targets, including writings, scent trails, etc.

  • When reading written communications, you get no information beyond what the writer was intending to communicate.

Spend at least two Actions performing the following ritual: Unhinging Jaw to activate. You must maintain Concentration while activating this Effect, and it fails if you are interrupted.

You may withdraw an item from your stash, or add an item that is within arm’s reach to your stash. You may only stash targets which are in your possession, grappled, or otherwise controlled by you.

You may store Objects in your stash, each no larger than something which could fit inside a briefcase (15 liters), and you may store up to 7 things at a time.

  • Containers which hold multiple things may count as a single item so long as the things within are generally packaged together. For instance, you may stash a clip full of bullets, a medical kit full of medical supplies, or a box of crackers, but you cannot stash a backpack full of miscellaneous equipment.
  • You may only attempt to store Objects which are free-standing and disconnected from other things. The use of this Effect will not allow you to sever any connections holding an Object in place.
  • The Maximum Object Size parameter is intended to roughly capture the weight / size restriction of items and isn’t intended to restrict shape. GM discretion is advised. A human being is level 4 in the Maximum Object Size parameter.

You gain the following benefits as long as You're High. You must actively and obviously be using Your Goggles to gain the benefits of this Effect.

You can run at four times your normal movement speed.

If you move faster than your normal move speed, the world around you turns to a blur, and Perception rolls are made at -3 dice.

  • Any Encumbrance penalty to your movement still applies, but you do not suffer from any sort of exhaustion.
  • Damage from a collision depends on your speed at the time, as well as what you hit. GM's discretion, but generally moving faster than a car on the freeway and hitting a dense, solid object like a wall or a tree should be lethal. Mundane armor will not apply, but any supernatural forms of protection will.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action to activate. Select a Animate target within 20 feet. Roll Perception + 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.

  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
