T3

Races / Schticks / Litter

Available to: Rabbit.

Fu: 3, Shot: 0, Maximum picks: Any

A Rabbit can develop an extremely close relationship with other's in it's litter, to such a degree that they actually become a single individual. Over time, this can be developed and extended into a hive-mind, where a single Rabbit consciousness lives in several individual bodies. Any new Rabbit that is to be assimilated must be of the same sex and similar in both physique and mentality. He must also volunteer to give up all individual identity - something nobody but a rabbit would ever be likely to do.

You have a number of extra bodies equal to your schtick picks in Litter. This allows you to be several places at once, to do several things simultaneously and to take severe risks and only lose one body. Experiences and thoughts are shared between the bodies, so all members of the Litter are identical.

In combat or other situations where there is danger and several members of a litter are present at once, all but one tend to sit paralyzed, jumping after the leader but not otherwise acting in any way. Choose one body to be active; the others will just follow you about. When you take an action with your active body, you can activate this schtick, and simultaneously act with one other body. You can use several bodies at once by paying the Fu cost for each separately.

All bodies have a common pool of Wound Points. Area attacks, falls and other forms of simultaneous damage are still only counted once, but otherwise each body suffers the damage any of them takes. When defending, all bodies do so in unison, with no extra Fu or shot cost. A failed Death Test only affects one body at the time, but the rest of your bodies remain in shock and thus retain all WoundPoints taken.

If one body is killed, you lose that schtick, and must purchase it again using experience points.
