Wonderland - Jags

Effect: You appear grotesquely thin and stretched. You are
probably six feet tall or taller (treat as Ugly). Your waist may
become no bigger than a man’s wrist while your ribs seem ready
to explode through your flesh. Your eyes and cheeks are sunken
and when you turn sideways? You vanish. Thinners can slip
between or under doors (anywhere you can get a sheet of paper
the size of a human). In combat they can twist-dodge which
gives them a 14- Dodge for 5 REA or 12- for 3 REA that does
apply fully against ranged attacks.
They have –3 STR for purposes of Grappling though.
Trails Cost [Varies]
Trait: You’re an attention hog or drama queen. Also possible:
you want to be known and acknowledged or remembered.
Effect: You leave some sort of “trail” wherever you go. All of
these give one +2 Damage Points.
Type Cost Notes
Tagger 1 Where you are and what you touch
(inanimate) is marked with graffiti-
style tags or paints. These paints
may be semi-permanent (although
that takes concentration) but usually
fade in a few minutes or hours. If you
stand still, the markings will expand in
a radius around you at a rate of 1 yard
per 5 minutes up to WIL yard radius.
Slime -4 You feel you are noticeably dirty in
some way or unclean (not necessarily
hygienic—could be a feeling of having
been violated or ruined). You leave
a gross trail of slime (even through
clothes to some extent).
Light Trails 2 You leave vague, pleasant-looking
light trails in your wake. lluminates
out to about 4 yards.
Foot prints 1 You leave footprints behind you.
Transparent Vision Cost 8
Trait: The character tends to “intellectualize things” rather than
going with instinct or emotional reaction.
Effect: You project visible rays from your eyes that make things
transparent where the beams fall. It’s like X-Ray Vision except
everyone can see through. It’ll only go WIL inches through a
surface and you can calibrate it so that it’ll limit its penetration
(i.e. you can make someone’s clothes seem to disappear or just
their outer layer).
Trunk Cost 4
Trait: Tendency to distrust people or be guarded. You’ve been
betrayed or hurt in relationships before.
Effect: The character’s nose is a short “trunk” like an elephant’s
(but it may only be about a foot long). It gives +4 to any smell
Perception rolls but it can sniff out a few other things as well:
Danger can be smelled within WIL yards (or really bad danger
can be smelled a long way off). This is merely the aspect of
being “Dangerous” (guns have that smell, so does explosives
or poisons and monsters). The GM determines in what capacity
the object must be considered dangerous (i.e. a trap would smell
dangerous, a toothpick, even though you could choke on it,
doesn’t).
Lies smell. Like rotten eggs. For a lie to smell it must be a pretty
big lie—not simply an equivocation or a “white lie” (unless
the person’s reaction to whatever they’re being polite about is
really strong). Deception may or may not smell. A Con-Man
would have a disquieting scent but if he doesn’t actually tell
you lies (many con-games involve the target making their own
conclusions the scent won’t be strong). Lies may be at –1 or
–6 or more to be smelled (and knowledgeable targets may get
WIL rolls, Actor rolls, Con Artist rolls, and other rolls to further
obfuscate their lying).
Umber Horns Cost 6
Trait: You are investigative in nature or personality. You
might just be nosy—but often this applies to those who have
“professional” attitude towards wanting to know.
Effect: You have horns that appear to be made of shadow. They
are solid but shift and change in description according to mood
and the character’s state of mind (the smallest they can get is two
short “devil horns.” The largest would be elk or moose-sized
horns.
They act as antennae, questing and inspecting things. They have
a 14- chance to detect a lie (roll against the liar’s appropriate
skill or RES or WIL, modify as appropriate for the subtlety
of the lie and the sincerity with which it is stated). When they
detect one, they’ll point at the liar! On a roll of a 17+ they may
point at the wrong person (and the GM may rule they sometimes
malfunction, anyway).
They also examine things: they have a Perception roll of 14- and
may point at things they think are clues or at people they think
should be questioned more deeply.
