Legacy Power: Lose Cool

Not going to lie. . . I'm getting pretty worked up about this.

A 2 Gift Alternate Form Power used by River, created by ShadyTradesman.

Description

River may seem like the chillest dude on earth, but it comes at a cost. When tensions run high, he may lose control, transforming into a horrible mixture of man and beast. The specifics of his form depend on the passion that triggered his transformation.

System

Exert your Mind and spend an Action transforming into a monstrous mixture of human and beast. You must spend up to 3 minutes in your alternate form. You may end your transformation at will.

You have access to all of your Powers when you are a monstrous mixture of human and beast. Restricting other powers to your alternate form is a valid use of the Conditional drawback. Your Battle Scars are still present in your Alternate Form.


Enhancements

  • Quick Change (Your transformation is nearly instant. Instead of requiring a full Action, you may activate this Power as a Quick Action [-2 dice to your main Action].)
  • Combat-Ready (You do not suffer any Stress while in your alternate form.)
  • Anatomical Weapon (Your alternate form is its own deadly weapon. Unarmed attacks made in your alternate form deal +3 Weapon Damage (instead of the typical -1).)
  • Boosted Attribute (You gain +1 to an Attribute in your Alternate Form. You cannot boost an Attribute more than once with this Enhancement.)
    • Attribute - Perception

  • Boosted Attribute (You gain +1 to an Attribute in your Alternate Form. You cannot boost an Attribute more than once with this Enhancement.)
    • Attribute - Dexterity

  • Boosted Attribute (You gain +1 to an Attribute in your Alternate Form. You cannot boost an Attribute more than once with this Enhancement.)
    • Attribute - Brawn

Drawbacks

  • Lose Yourself (While transformed, you automatically fail any Mind roll to resist an impulse and suffer -3 dice on all other Mind rolls.)
  • Mute (You cannot speak any coherent verbal language and must resort to other means of communication.)
  • Maddening (Possession of this Gift causes a Trauma that cannot be cured by any means. The chosen Trauma must be likely to come up on a Contract.)
    • Trauma - Roll Mind, Difficulty 8 when emotions run high not to transform (rage, fear, etc)
  • Paws (You are incapable of fine object manipulation and can only hold or grasp things in a crude, clumsy way.)
  • Can't stop the beast (You are unable to revert to your original form at will and must wait for the duration to fully elapse before returning to normal.)

Parameters

Duration: 2 ( 3 minutes )
