Charlatans

Exert your Mind and spend an Action.

You transform into a corpse-devouring demon for 3 minutes. You have access to all of your Powers while you are a corpse-devouring demon, and you can use your equipment. Your Battle Scars, Injuries, and physical Liabilities are carried over between forms. Reverting from your Alternate Form cannot cause your existing Injuries to kill you. Instead, you remain Incapacitated.

While transformed, your Brawn is increased by 1 and your Dexterity is increased by 1. You do not suffer any Stress while transformed.

Your alternate form is its own deadly weapon. Unarmed attacks made in your alternate form deal +3 Weapon Damage (instead of the typical -1).

While transformed, instead of your normal clothes and equipment, you are equipped with: A purple kevlar cloak and the E.G.O Weapon :: Mephisto's Claw

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see you combust into flames and turning into (what the average people would call) a demon.

If you become Incapacitated or suffer an Injury Severity 4 or greater, you revert from your Alternate form.

Even if there are no Alien Monsters within 50 feet of you, you become aware of the direction the closest one is in, as well as a rough sense of its distance from you.

All Alien Monsters who you can sense are equally able to sense you.
