Wonderland - Jags

Deeper Mysteries - Twists
Heavy Cost 12
Trait: You are depressed. Perhaps cyclically so—or just
melancholy.
Effect: You are dense. This usually has some color or appearance
change (broader or squatter than normal) but might just result
in heavy footsteps. The effects of this stack with other similar
abilities (protective blubber). The character gets:
1. Extra BLD, DP, and STR.
2. A reduction in Initiative.
3. Penetration Resistance.
The STR and extra damage for BLD adds to any physical
attack the character can perform.
Size STR BLD DP Init PEN
VS +0 5 +12 -2 +4
S +1 10 +14 -3 +6
MS +2 15 +16 -3 +8
M +4 20 +20 -3 +10
MB +6 25 +24 -4 +14
B +8 30 +28 -4 +18
Hooks Cost 2
Trait: The character has something of a sense of entitlement.
This may be minor (a character woman who feels gentlemen
ought to treat her with a sense of chivalry) or raging (the
shoplifter who feels the store owes him things).
Effect: “Worms of muscle” crawl under the skin of the
character’s arms. At will, those arms can break apart and dark
bluish tentacles with hooks on the end lash out! Each arm
becomes up to four separate tentacles (although they always
attack the same target).
These can hit at 5 yards range and strike for Listed PEN damage
(they can be used bluntly). Half this score adds to grapple.

Horizon Eyes Cost 10
Trait: You frequently daydream or have an active imaginary
life.
186
Effect: The character’s eyes show brilliant, deep skies and can
“open” wider than normal to become twin portals to a great
air-space, sometimes lit with storm clouds, sometimes by a
setting sun, sometimes clear and bright and blue (matching the
character’s mood).
The character can see normally, ignoring –6pts of visibility
modifier and seeing even in pitch black. When the character is
experiencing strong emotion, wind may blow from the eyes and,
indeed, they are openings into some other space (if a character
is shot “right in the eye” the bullet will pass into the distance
harmlessly. Things put in (at their biggest they’re no larger than
baseballs) will fall way (they may show up somewhere else but
it’s a good way to get rid of small things).
The character gets a –4 Damage Modifier against all incoming
attacks. This is applied before checking for penetration doubling.
The character may also get +3 to any psychology due to the
intense nature of their appearance.
Humpbacked Cost 4
Trait: You are selfish!
Effect: The character has a large discolored hump that grows
from their back. This disfigures them a bit (they walk bent over)
but they are stronger.
1. The Humpback gives a -1 to AGI bonus (you are at +1
to be hit).
2. It gives extra STR, BLD and DP.
3. You get 2/8 armor that doesn’t stack with other armor.
The damage from STR and BLD is added to any physical
attack.

S +1 +5 +3
MS +2 +8 +4
M +3 +15 +6
MB +4 +20 +8
B +5 +25 +20
Hypnotic Plumage Cost 4
Trait: The character is an attention seeker or otherwise has an
egotistical streak.
Effect: The character has plumage like a bird (or hair like a
mane). This comes in many colors (often vibrant sunset shades
of oranges, reds, and yellows). When “deployed” it adds +3 to
Persuade and +5 to Entrance attempts.
