Wonderland - Jags

Ragged Cost 4
Trait: You’ve been through a lot. You bear the
marks and you’ve taken some hits—but you’re
still here.
Effect: The character appears ragged. Wings may
have holes and tears. Clothes are ripped and torn
in interesting ways (or may appear tattered). The
body bears scars. These are not disfiguring but
may appear dramatic or even designed. If new
clothes are put on, they will quickly wear (on
Chessboard Zero your clothes may start to wear
out more quickly as well).
For 3 REA the character can “accept” an incoming
attack.
1. The character gets a WIL+2 or AGI+2
or CON+2 (whichever is better) as a
block against the to-hit roll (even if it’s
a ranged attack). If it succeeds the attack
looks like it hits and does disrupt things
(makes a little dry hole in the character)
but has no effect.
2. Even if the block fails (and the character is
hit) they get a -4 Damage Modifier or an
additional +1 Damage Modifier if other
such abilities are in effect (and a +1 is
better than a total of -4).
The character gets +4 DP.
The character gets a -1 to be seen (which is the
same as +1 to Stealth rolls for visual purposes).
Ram’s Horns Cost 2
Trait: You are angry—mad at the world or at specific people.
Effect: You have ram’s horns on your head and may have a
somewhat bovine nose (this varies from person to person).
A Move action (8 REA long from a standing start, 5 REA if
moving last turn) can terminate in a headbutt. This does Listed
damage if you get a running start. It does half that if you simply
head butt from a standing position.

Reader Cost 4
Trait: You have difficulty understanding normal emotional
states. You have a hard time functioning with normal people
because you can’t easily tell if their joking or not.
Effect: The character’s fingers are lengthened and terminate
in circular pads. With a touch they can analyze text stored on
almost any mechanical or electronic medium. Holding a book
will transfer the informational content of its text to the user
quickly. Plain-text files on a shut-down computer or disk can be
read likewise.
The character gets a RES roll at –6 (or a Mathematics roll
at –6) to decipher encrypted text. This can usually only be
tried once. When reading a hard drive the character will have
an understanding of the file system and can read any word
processor format.
The character gets 6pts to spend on Level 1 skills that can be
above the 12- roll range due to “book learning” (they must be
RES or MEM based and should be able to be learned from a
book). The ability doesn’t confer photographic memory of the
books read.
