A sheet of folding paper flies from Bryan's person to intercept incoming damage, expanding and hardening to match Bryan's mental control over it. After absorbing an attack, the targeted spot folds into a paper spike and extends back toward the attacker to retaliate.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action or Reaction. You must use up folding paper in order to activate this Effect. Roll Intellect + Crafts at Difficulty 6.
If you succeed, you create a barrier around yourself, which absorbs the next Outcome +4 Damage. Any Damage absorbed by the barrier is reflected back to the attacker, up to a maximum of 4. Their Armor applies in full. The Damage reduction from the barrier is applied before Armor. 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 transform into Werewolf for 3 minutes. You have access to all of your Powers while you are Werewolf, 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 2 and your Dexterity is increased by 2. Your Stress is reduced by 2.
Your alternate form is its own deadly weapon. Unarmed attacks made in your alternate form deal +3 Weapon Damage (instead of the typical -1).
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see body cracks and breaks apart while turning into a werewolf.
Your alternate form renders you unable to speak any human language and incapable of fine object manipulation. You can only hold or grasp objects in a crude, clumsy way.
After this Effect ends, you cannot move quicker than a walk (15 feet per Round) for one minute and suffer a -1 dice penalty for an hour.

Animate targets may Resist being stashed. You must Exert your Mind to stash Sapient targets.
Carver gets a focused glint in her eye.
Using her psychic powers, Carver is capable of producing a personal barrier powerful enough to blunt attacks. The strain of creating a physical phenomenon capable of stopping bullets is great, so much so that it runs the risk of overwhelming her mind, but if she keeps a clear head she'll be fine.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. You must make a Trauma roll when you use this Effect. Its Difficulty cannot be reduced by any means. Roll Intellect + Medicine at Difficulty 6.
If you succeed, you create a barrier around yourself, which absorbs the next Outcome + 4 Damage. The Damage reduction from the barrier is applied before Armor. You may only have 1 active barrier at a time.
The barrier will fall after two hours, 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 Effect is not obvious, and the only sign you are using an Effect is your eyes shifting color. If someone suspects that an Effect was used, they must roll Perception + Alertness, Difficulty 8 to pick up on your Tell.
Luciano's burnt hands unconsciously quake with pain and fright as he stares down at the hole in his abdomen that flowers with crimson, reaching into the hip pocket of his Minecraft grass block pants and feeling the stickiness of a honey jar that has been left open in there, and the fresh blood that spills from the burning wound.
Reaching his fingers into the jar, and covering his fingers with the now amberish liquid, Luciano lets out a yelp as he forces himself to push his fingers into the wound, quelling the bleeding with the viscous substance.
And then, The Hive is upon him. A painful buzzing sends needles through his braised nervous system as they form their hexagonal honeycomb in the bullet hole, turning each movement into a limp as he feebly attempts to walk it off.
And then, as quickly as they arrived, they are gone once more. A beehive in miniature spills forth from the wound, pushed out like a splinter and leaving unblemished flesh behind.
Well, relatively unblemished. It had already started off pretty bad after that fire.
A few scant bees still buzz around the jar of honey that Victor gave to him prior to his death. Luci didn't feel that he deserved it after what happened to Victor, but Anthony insisted that he keep it.
He tries to look after the bees by bringing them Sunny D and, if he empties out a little bit of their honey into something else, he'll find the jar replenished, perhaps from the abundance that CiCi's Infinite Pizzabilities brings forth.
Luciano doesn't exactly have any jars of his own, but he occasionally "borrows" some of the little glass containers that the staff here put their incense sticks in, and fills the little jars with honey instead. He likes to call this "reverse-engining", but doesn't really know what that means.
The honey jars smell nice but tastes terrible, mostly because there's still some incense inside the containers when Luciano adds the honey, and he sometimes leaves them open in his pockets.
Use up this re-used incense jar filled with honey (unless you succeed on 1d10, Difficulty 7) and spend 1 minute. Roll 7 dice at Difficulty 6, dice penalties do not apply.
If you succeed, the Injury is reduced in Severity by your Outcome. If you reduce its Severity to 0, the Injury is fully healed. Otherwise, it is partially healed and will heal the rest of the way at its natural rate.
This counts as a successful Makeshift Stabilization if the Injury was not already Stabilized; any Battle Scars caused by the Injury will remain.
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.
