Bygone Powers

italics = not in database yet, will review on request

• NOTE: Powers are approved at staff discretion. They need to make conceptual sense for your creature type. Any sensible IC explanation is fine, however just "I want it" is not sufficient.

1-4	Armor	+N soak dice
4-6	Bond Sharing	4 = one sense or environmental tolerance 5 = all senses or tolerances 6 = all senses and tolerances
4/6/8	Chameleon Coloration	4 = darken to blend with shadows (Shadow-walking) 6 = hues of one color 8 = any color Wits + Alertness vs 7 to see you against same-color background
3/5/7	"Claws (Bygone)" "Teeth (Bygone)" (aka Fangs) "Horn (Bygone)"	3 = one 5 = two 7 = three double for agg
3	Deadly Demise	dying attack that likely kills your killer
3/5/7/10/15	Elemental Touch	3 = sense large quantity (Perception + Awareness vs 6-9) 5 = sense smaller quantity (Perception + Awareness vs 6-9) 7 = bend small amount (spend Willpower and roll Manipulation + Awareness vs 6-9) 10 = create small amount (spend Willpower and roll Manipulation + Awareness vs 6-9) 15 = bend large amount (spend 2 Willpower and roll Manipulation + Awareness vs 6-9)
variable	"Enhancement (Bygone)"	+1 attribute or health level per 5 dots House rule: capped at +8 to attributes and +3 to health levels, but attributes don't cost extra XP beyond the cost of the power
3 per	Extra Heads	+2 per extra head to resist ambush +2 per extra head participating in same Brawl attack may attack different targets using split actions decapitation is only an auto-kill if all heads are severed
3 per	"Extra Limbs (Bygone)"	may attack different targets using split actions
3/5/7/9/10	Extra Speed	5+ points = +1 extra (not split) action per turn, 10 points = +2 every 5 points multiplies running speed by 1.5 (see table on page 115 for in-between values)
2-6	Feast of Nettles	2 = eat 3 Paradox per week 3 = 5 per week 4 = 10 per week 5 = 15 per week 6 = 20 per week must concentrate for 2-4 turns before and sleep it off after eating only part of a backlash requires Wits + Awareness vs 8, exceeding your limit kills you instantly
2	Flexible	+1 Dodge, +2 grapple
variable	"Hazardous Breath (Bygone)"	House rule: Does dice of damage, not automatic levels 5*N points gives N dice of damage on Dexterity + Brawl vs 7 increase to 7*N to make it caustic (1 more die per turn until washed off) double = agg target can soak (if they can normally soak that type of damage) cannot use it more times per scene than your Stamina multiple Brawl successes = extra target in range at ST discretion
3/6	Healing Lick	3 = heal 1 non-agg health level (self or other) per turn 6 = also heals agg does not regrow severed parts (need Regrowth for that)
2	"Hibernation (bygone power)"	don't need food/water until you wake up
1	Human Speech	while in non-human form
2/5/10/15	"Immunity (bygone)"	2 = minor nuisance or rare threat 5 = major or moderately rare threat 10 = deadly or common threat 15 = death itself (house rule: requires an Achilles' heel at staff discretion, but complete bodily destruction doesn't automatically defeat it)
3	Information Font	Perception + relevant ability vs 7 to obtain obscure information, others roll Intelligence + Enigmas vs 6-10 to understand you
8/10	Intangibility	8 = invisible 10 = incorporeal spend Willpower to change state incorporeal: magic still affects you; turning it off takes a full turn (during transition, seeing you requires Perception + Awareness or Alertness vs 8, but you can be touched) invisible: Perception + Awareness vs 7 to detect you with sensory magic, vs 9 to detect you disturbing the environment; does not mask your scent
3	Lack of Scent	guess
3/6	Mesmerism	3 = freeze target 6 = draw target slowly closer Charisma + Intimidation, extended, accumulate successes equal to target's Willpower, botch = target cannot be hypnotized this way again
3	Musical Influence	relevant social attribute + relevant ability vs target's Willpower, extra successes = extra targets if target realizes why they feel the effect, they still feel it but can act against it
variable	Mystick Shield	every 2 points gives +1 countermagic or +1 diff to magic targeting you (not both) (house rule: must pick an allocation in advance, +diff is assumed until/unless allocating some/all to countermagic is explicitly requested) must be activated, counts as a defensive action like Dodge
3	Nightsight	Perception + Alertness vs 8 to see in total darkness fog, smoke, etc.: ST discretion
variable	Rapid Healing	every 2 points lets you heal at the speed of 1 health level less injured
2/4/6	Regrowth	2 = tail, tentacle, horn, etc. (1 day) 4 = severed limb, gouged eye (3 days) 6 = anything short of complete bodily destruction (1 week for vital organ, 2 weeks for multiple such injuries) this is in addition to normal healing time for health levels fire/acid can cauterize a stump and stop it from regrowing
3/5/8	Shapechanger	3 = one alternate form 5 = one range (e.g. birds, humans, cats, fish) 8 = anything any powers besides changing shape must be bought separately, and only apply while in a relevant shape others may roll Perception + Awareness vs 7 or other relevant sensory magic to see your true form, scent is ST discretion
5/7	Shared Knowledge	use each other's knowledges, Wits + Intuition vs (3 + knowledge level) for complex understanding 7 = can also see through each other's eyes range limited to (100 * your Willpower) yards
3/5/8/10	"Size (Bygone Power)"	3 = +1 (larger) / -1 (smaller) health level, +1/-1 Strength or Stamina 5 = +2/-2 health levels, +2/-2 total Strength and/or Stamina, -1/+1 diff for others to spot or hit you 8 = +3/-3, +3/-3, -2/+2 10 = +4/-4, +4/-4, -3/+3 Without this power, your native form can be maybe a step or two larger/smaller than human, but without any stat bonuses
2	Soul-Sense (aka Death-Sense)	2 = Soul-Sense: Perception + Awareness or Occult to detect mystical creature (even if it's hidden/disguised) or person/place that is deeply holy/evil/etc. 3 = Death-Sense: sense when (if ever) someone is likely to die magical concealment provides resistance
8/10/15	Spirit Travel	8 = one dimension 10 = two dimensions 15 = three dimensions
3	Spirit Vision	similar to Spirit Sight merit, hazier but less distracting, can choose to focus on it if e.g. a ghost is approaching
3	Tunneling	soft earth: walking speed to move through, half walking speed to leave tunnel long tunnels may require Stamina + Willpower
2	"Unaging (Bygone)"	same as Unaging merit
variable	"Venom (Bygone)"	3*N points adds N levels of aggravated damage to a bite/claw/spur/sting attack increase to 5*N to apply it to anyone who touches or eats part of you
4	Wall-Crawling	resistance (e.g. strong wind, slippery surface, someone grabbing you) requires Strength + Athletics vs 7
2/5	Water-Breathing	2 = can breathe both water and air 5 = don't need to breathe at all
5	Webbing	Dexterity + Webworking (secondary skill) vs 5 (travel), 6 (create), 7 (trap), 8 (grab at distance / block entrance) webbing has 6 soak dice and 3 health levels trapped victim must roll Strength vs 8 and get 3+ successes (or at ST discretion, roll Strength resisted by web's Strength 8)
3/5	"Wings (Bygone)"	3 = jogging speed (13 yards per turn) 5 = 20 yards per turn
