Attributes and Schticks

Body: 4-8
Mind: 6-11
Reflexes: 4-10
Move: 5

Copycat

Trigger Action

When someone uses a schtick or power within Mind meters of you, you can use this power to temporarily learn that schtick or power. You use it as if it was a schtick even if it is ordinarily a power and can use it until the end of the session or until you use Copycat again.

Mockery

Trigger Action (Combo)

Use this after you've hit or successfully interacted with someone. The target suffers a -3 penalty on all attacks and interactions directed at a creature that did not use Mockery against him this round.

Payback

Trigger Action (Defense)

Use this schtick when attacked. You get a +3 bonus to Dodge against that specific attack only. If the triggering attack misses and there is a plausible target near you or in the line of fire, you can redirect the attack. You can redirect a Melee attack back on the attacker but must otherwise choose a third party as your target. Make a Dodge roll (without the +3 bonus) and treat the result as an attack on your chose target, redirecting the original attack. Damage and effect remains the same.

Description

A Fox is a friendly and curious meddler.

Appearance

Slightly shorter and lighter of build, a Fox is an anthropomorphic animal. They take heavily after their animal forebears, and their rich fur gives them quite an inhuman appearance, though they are bipedal and upright.

Role

A Fox is curious and enjoys banter, tricks and enigmas. They are great peddlers, entertainers, and thieves. They are too weak and physically lazy to make good labor, but they can do exacting intellectual work or crafts with their clever paws.

Politics

Foxes frequently become advisers to rulers, but their own nations are generally too busy with intrigue to be much of a threat to their neighbors.
