Wonderland - Jags

Illustrated Cost 2
Trait: You’ve led an interesting life (or at least have an engaging
way of telling stories about your experiences.
Effect: The character’s body is covered with intricate tattoos in
vibrant colors. They can move, changing with the character’s
mood and sometimes giving away hints about the character’s
history. The character gains Attractive Level 2.
The Tattoos can give +2 to Showmanship rolls and are
entertaining to examine. A character who begins to study
the tattoos must make a WIL roll vs. a 13- or the illustrated
character’s WIL, whichever is higher.
Examiner wins by 4+ Learn something significant about the
illustrated character’s history.
Examiner wins by 0
to 3
Examiner loses by 1
to 4
Learn something interesting about the
character’s history.
Examiner learns something the illustrated
character wants him to know (may be
false data).
Examiner loses by 5+ The Examiner is hypnotized and will
remain in a trance state for up to 1
minute per point he was beaten by. The
illustrated character can “seem to vanish”
(by getting up and leaving) but any attack
will immediately break the spell (as will
any attempt to rouse the hypnotized
character).
I’m Invisible To You Cost 12
Trait: You feel powerless and invisible to people who you want
to notice you.
Effect: When being quiet and stationary a person must make a
PER roll at –4 to see you. When using stealth and moving, you
get +4 to your stealth roll. You are not actually invisible—just
hard to notice.
However, when you are actually trying to do something like
make a Persuade or Charm or Recruit roll, you must make a
WIL roll or fade from notice (automatically failing the roll). In
this case you will actually become invisible and everyone but
the people you were trying to convince will see it happen. Once
you move however, you’ll become visible again—but the person
you were trying to persuade will essentially treat you like you
have nothing substantial to say.
This is very hard to use in combat—but if a character manages
to be giving a speech when shooting starts (and doesn’t move
around much after going invisible) attackers who choose the
right direction operate at –6 to hit in addition to any other
negative modifiers.
Iron Skin Cost 12
Trait: You have suffered tragedy and come to terms with it.
Effect: You can feel things well but your skin is shiny, pliable
metal. You have 7/14 Armor.
Jaws That Bite Cost 2
Trait: You tend towards verbal abuse or at least being very
outspoken. A person who puts their “foot in their mouth” or
speaks when they should really be quite may have this too. Any
anger issue can cause this.
Effect: Your face splits into massive, unhinging jaws. This is
gruesome to watch and dangerous! They bite for Listed Maw
damage. When you bite, you can make a Grapple roll to hang on
and bite again (same Damage Mod as when you hit) for 5 REA.

Jumping Legs Cost 3
Trait: You are prone to make snap judgments and reach
conclusions with miniscule amounts of data.
Effect: You can jump! Your legs probably change (often to
look like some sort of froglegs or digigrade legs). You jump
20/Mass (across) or 12/Mass yards straight up per second for an
8 REA Long action (if the group wants to play with 45-degree
arcs, you can do a 2-second jump composed of two 8 REA long
actions (one to take off and one to land) for 40/Mass (this is only
across).
Junk Collector Cost 1
Trait: You have chosen friends who constantly get you into
trouble (can also apply to people who find themselves in
recurrent cases of being victims of spousal abuse).
Effect: You get dirty faster (your clothes and skin). Garbage,
windblown scraps of paper, crushed soda cans, plastic wrappers,
all slowly and slyly gravitate towards you. Your house is a
mess—any place you stay becomes filthy and unclean.
You, on the other hand, get +8 Damage Points.
NOTE: This ability has reflective properties: it’ll work in a
constant and subtle fashion on Chessboard Zero! If the person
has it, their daily, normal world will find itself attracting junk.
Kaleidscope Eyes Cost 16
Trait: You have a somewhat detached grip on reality. Maybe you
do drugs—maybe you have an easy time putting “nasty things
out of your head.” Maybe you’re in denial about something in
your life—either way, you aren’t firmly grounded to the world
you live in.
