Animal Form

Limit Break

You assume the form of another creature decided when you gain the power. You must have created a variant form for yourself using your normal points and limits. If you do not have such a creature description ready, you cannot use this power. This creature cannot have higher value in any particular skill than you do. You can add powers of the same form the creature has and keep schticks and powers you already have, but you cannot otherwise add powers or schticks. This power cannot be used to imitate a specific individual; you remain yourself in mannerisms and detail while changing race, species, and creature type.

You remain in this form for a scene or until you fall asleep or unconscious or will yourself back to your normal form (a Basic Action). You can learn this power several times to learn to transform into several different creatures.

You can only assume the form on an Animal with this version of the power.

Cricket Legs

Stance

When you move, you can do so through the air in great leaps, instead of normal running. You can jump horizontally or vertically up to your normal speed as a part of a normal action, or twice that if you concentrate on leaping to the exclusion of other actions (a full move).

Carapace

Stance

You can create natural armor on your body. Such armor provides protection, but can have drawbacks. Every two points of protection gives one drawback. Carapace cannot provide more than ten points of armor.

You decide upon protection value and drawbacks when creating the shield. Typical drawbacks include the following; each can be taken several times.

• Armor takes a Limit Break to create.
• Armor does not protect against one of the following types of damage: Disruption, Energy, Impact, or Physical .
• Armor gives a -1 Reflex penalty.
• Armor has a weak angle and does not protect against attacks from the rear (or one other angle, as appropriate).

Silent Paws

Stance

You can move and perform an action while Sneaking.
