Blood Transfusion Whatever happens... you'll think it's nothing but a mere bad dream...
Experimental blood transfusions performed using the Montaigne’s Vileblood and the blood of beasts both natural and abnormal can yield intriguing results.
With the blood comes… eyes, miniscule growths on the brain.
They grant clarity, a terrible insight that can bring one closer to the true origin of the beasts of this world. One can tap into the dark truths granted by these eyes to strengthen themselves.
They grant madness.
A yearning to... cleanse.
To eradicate all the beasts and vermin of the Earth.
You’re ready now. Join the Hunt.
Exert your Mind and spend eight hours. Select a Living target within arm's reach. The target can easily Resist.
You may add one augmentation to your target. Each augmentation counts as a Trauma and can have exactly one of the following Effects:
- Specialized: You receive +2 dice to a particular non-combat, non-Effect Action.
- Environmental Adaptation: You do not suffer harm from heat, cold, pressure, or lack of oxygen in a particular environment, provided that challenge normally exists in that environment.
- Implanted Tool: You have access to the functionality of some common Device at all times. The selected Device can be no larger than a motorcycle helmet.
- Armor: You have 2 Armor at all times. As always, Armor from multiple sources does not stack.
- Pouch: Part of your body functions as a hidden pocket. It can hold no more than a briefcase (15 liters).
- Zippy: Your Free Movement is increased by 10 feet.
- Maws and Claws: Your unarmed attacks do +2 Weapon Damage instead of -1.
The augmentations you provide are not outwardly visible nor obvious.
- Remember: A Contractor’s Body rating is reduced by 1 for each Battle Scar after their fourth.
- You may not augment targets with pouches or implanted devices that are larger than they are.
- Targets without Body ratings may have a maximum of 4 augmentations.
- Example environments for adaptation: space, all saltwater, all fresh water, all water under 50 feet deep, all water deeper than 50 feet, the jungle, radioactive areas, a specific alien world, etc.
- You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
- Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.

Infernal Investment
The First Taste Is Free
The psychic fiend chats with their patient about how they are to be upgraded and the conditions that they must adhere to. At the end of the conversation, the fiend takes the patient's hands and says a few words of The Dark Tongue. A jolt of dramatic but harmless hellfire travels from the fiend to the patient, imbuing them with a portion of his power.
Are you an up-and-coming blues player who needs a little something extra to hit it big? Do you need a little outside help to land the perfect date? Do you punches need a little extra. . .punch? You've come to the right place. For the low low price of a favor to be defined later, we can make you better, stronger, faster at whatever you want.
Of course, in a month, you'll need a fresh dose and the favor will be larger but hey, you can't put a price on success, right?

Genetic Hotfixes
"Who we are is but a stepping stone to who we can become."
The device is pressed to the ocular canal, and the trigger pulled. There's a snapping sound, and blood begins to leak around the rubber gasket around the eye. It is exceedingly unpleasant. The person being treated experiences a rapid fever during the procedure, and can feel the needles moving inside of them.
Their body changes. A chime indicates the end, and the device can be removed, the needles around bloody.
