Myco-Emesis Try not to get it on you, or look at it, or smell it.

1
The power to generate useful mundane items.
Used by Bert Stamets, Created by MythicSleep.
(Anyone who witnesses you activate this Effect or for its duration is very likely to be disturbed to see a revolting spray of biological sluge from Bert's stomach spouting into wood-like fungal structures. )

Bert's Maw opens, splitting his belly vomiting a stream of noxious biological sludge. The sludge adheres to the surfaces it lands on, and rapidly grows and hardens into a rough fungal form.

Exert your Mind and spend 1 minute.

Choose a specific type of fungal growth which could fit inside a regular backpack (up to 27 liters). It must be Non-Alien and generic. You cannot create explosives. You cannot create firearms.

Roll Brawn + Science to fabricate up to 5 copies of your chosen Object. The Difficulty is assigned by the GM and depends on the specificity of your chosen Object. The created item lasts 2 hours.

You may produce fungal growth with this Effect without Exerting your Mind or making a roll. The amount produced is double your normal maximum volume.

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see a revolting spray of biological sluge from Bert's stomach spouting into wood-like fungal structures.

  • When narrating disturbing content, be cognizant of your group's tone and accommodating to those who would like to "fast forward" through the description.
  • The Difficulty for the fabrication roll increases based on specificity. Something like a "shirt" would be Difficulty 5, whereas "Police uniform" would be Difficulty 9. The Outcome determines overall quality and how well the item fits the request.
  • You can fabricate a container of something so long as it contains a single type of thing (such as a tank of water) or it is designed to be packaged together (such as a first aid kit).
  • If you are able to activate this Effect as a Reaction, its roll contests the incoming Attack.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Whenever you fail or botch a Trauma or Self-Control roll, you must activate this Effect.

You transform into the white hart for 30 minutes. You have access to all of your Powers while you are the white hart, 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, your Dexterity is increased by 2, and your Perception is increased by 2. Your Stress is reduced by 2.

Your body is adapted to hiding. You receive +3 dice on non-attack rolls related to hiding.

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see a small child twist and warp into a different creature.

  • When narrating disturbing content, be cognizant of your group's tone and accommodating to those who would like to "fast forward" through the description.
  • When activating this Effect due to a failed Trauma or Self-Control roll, you must still pay the activation cost.

Exert your Mind and spend a minute.

You become disguised in a manner of your choosing. The disguise lasts for two hours, or you may end it early at will. Your disguise will not hold up to close scrutiny.

The new appearance may have a different sex, age, and race to your own, and you may alter height by up to a foot and your weight by 50%. Your disguise cannot directly mimic an existing person. You cannot alter your clothes. You may add inhuman features to your disguise. A disguise cannot affect your Attributes or other stats.

You may roll Charisma + Crafts to attempt to make your disguise Beautiful. If your Outcome is 6 or higher, non-Effect Charisma rolls where your good looks could help are rolled at -2 Difficulty. If you fail or botch, you are ugly instead, and non-Effect Charisma rolls are made at +2 Difficulty.

While disguised, you cannot use any Activated or Targeted Powers.

  • While you can add inhuman features, they are aesthetic only. Think star trek alien, monstergirl, demon, etc. Does not grant things such as a prehensile tail, an extra damaging brawl attack, improved senses, etc.
  • ‘Appearance’ includes voice, bone structure, skin quality, hair length and color, eye color, muscle tone, flesh texture, and generally anything perceivable about your body.

This isn't a spell. It isn’t a trick Vita learned. It’s something that just… started happening. Maybe it’s because of Bapha. Maybe it’s all the strange creatures she’s helped and all the pacts she didn’t realize she made. But now, when she needs something—really needs it—her bag becomes a little door to somewhere else.

Not just to the object, but to the intent behind it.

It’s not just gear—it’s kindness made tangible. A gift of utility from something watching her journey closely, tucked between worlds. She keeps the notes. She folds them, presses them flat, and stores them in an old mint tin.

They’re proof she’s not alone. Even when she’s rummaging in the dark.

Exert your Mind and spend 1 minute. You must actively and obviously use a bag that can hold this object to activate this Effect.

Choose an Object which could fit inside a regular backpack (up to 27 liters). It must be Non-Alien and generic. You cannot create explosives. You cannot create firearms.

  • The Difficulty for the fabrication roll increases based on specificity. Something like a "shirt" would be Difficulty 5, whereas "Police uniform" would be Difficulty 9. The Outcome determines overall quality and how well the item fits the request.
  • You can fabricate a container of something so long as it contains a single type of thing (such as a tank of water) or it is designed to be packaged together (such as a first aid kit).

Exert your Mind (unless at 4 body or less) and spend an Action.

You transform into Lytsune for 3 minutes. You have access to all of your Powers while you are Lytsune, and you can use your equipment. The Injuries and Battle Scars of your Alternate Form and your true form are tracked separately.

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see Seemingly burst out of my skin.

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.

You may only use this Effect once per day.

  • When narrating disturbing content, be cognizant of your group's tone and accommodating to those who would like to "fast forward" through the description.

Mundane armor will not apply, but any supernatural forms of protection will.
