quickly (depending on situation.). The character may have any number
of limbs for the same cost.
+2.5 pts The character has extra
limbs with the ability to manipulate objects as well as feet. They
allow types of maneuver that would not be possible but no extra movements
each turn.

flash power and sensory overload. Double all resistance levels to
resist flash powers with any sense protected by flash defense.

The character may move one extra time per combat
round per level in this ability. In game turns add 20 to each initiative
roll per level in this ability.
Glide +7.5 points
The character can glide due to some natural form
of locomotion. Any character who has the flight merit is assumed
to have the glide advantage. Gliding is dependent on the winds and
updrafts to travel and in most cases will eventually come down.
Life Support variable
The character can live and thrive under circumstances
that kill others.
+2.5 pts The character only has to eat
or drink about 1/4 as often as normal
+2.5 pts The character can survive in
an extra normal environment (can breathe water, can survive without oxygen
but with other air, etc)

of pressure.
+12.5 pts The character can survive in space surviving
both the heat and cold and the vacuum.
Multiform variable
The character has several different forms that may
have completely different physical and mental capabilities. Only
one form may be used at a time (though combined with the duplication power
it could be very effective). All forms are completely natural to
the character. The quicker and less limited the basic changes are
the more costly the basic power is. Once the basic power is purchased
all forms except the primary are paid for with super power points at a
10 to 1 ratio. Each form starts with the attributes of and skills
of an average character and all these bases may be increased normally using
super points.
Natural Weaponry +5 points per d6 of damage.
The character has some form of natural weaponry.
The weapon uses the character's body mass to power it therefore all damage
modifiers due to Body. This merit is used to simulate claws,
horns, teeth or other similar device.
Polarized Eyes +7.5 points
The character's eyes adjust instantly to changes
in normal light conditions. This does not protect the character from
flashes but normal sudden changes in light conditions only take 1 second
to adjust. If the character has night sight then the polarized eyes
may adjust for night sight within one second.
Power Defense +2 per level
The character has a special level of defense against
any attempts to drain, dispel alter or absorb their powers or abilities.
Each level of this power adds one level of power for purposes of resisting

be no defense power defense allows one.
Regeneration variable

wounds that would not heal at all by normal means.
+2.5 pts The character heals at the same
rate but will heal things that would not normally heal at all or very slowly
+5 pts The character
heals at half again normal healing rate and will heal wounds that would
not heal at all slowly
+7.5 pts The character heals at twice
the normal rate and will heal wounds that would not heal at all slowly

per day to their hits healed and heals normally unhealable wounds in weeks
+12.5 pts The character heals 1 hit per six hours
and heals normally unhealable wounds in weeks
+15 pts The character heals 1 hit
per three hours and heals normally unhealable wounds within a week usually
+20 pts The character heals 1 hit
per hour and heals normally unhealable wounds within a week
+20 pts The character heals 1 hit
per minute and heals normally unhealable wounds within a day
+30 pts The character heals 1 hit
per turn and heals normally unhealable wounds within minutes
Running +2.5 per level
The character can run much faster than normal.
For each level in the run ability multiply the run listed by an additional
1/2. At the first level this would make running speed 1.5 x normal
while at the second level the character's running speed would be 2x normal.
This will also alter the character's leap figured attribute as well.
However, the number of actions the character may take is unchanged.
Shape Shift variable
The character can alter his outer form. This
does not alter the character's weight or abilities (except in minor ways).
However, the character may link specific powers or attributes to specific
shapes as a way of allowing for shapeshifting with different abilities.
It is generally more efficient to use the multiform power to accomplish
this sort of change. For a widely varied shapeshifter you could also
add merits, flaws and powers that are only usable when using the shapeshifting
power. (Example would be Changeling the Teen Titans character who could
take the form of any animal)
+2.5 pts The character can take
one specific shape that is very similar to their own. (Change eyecolor
and hair color)
+5 pts The character
can take one specific shape that can vary more significantly (Change from
a tall man to a short man)
+7.5 pts The character can take
on specific shape that can vary widely (Change cosmetically from man to
woman)
+7.5 pts The character can take
related shapes very similar to their own shape (change eye color or hair
color)
+10 pts The character can
take related shapes about as different as the 10 point cost (tall to short)
+12.5 pts The character can take on related
shapes that vary widely (man to woman cosmetically)
+15 pts The character can
take related shapes and vary slightly (about 2 points) physical attributes
to assist the shape
Size (heavy) +1.5 per level
The character is incredibly dense while being normal
size. This increases the character's mass, toughness, and strength.
The character adds 3 to their body type in all aspects except size and
increases their weight by 50 lbs for each level of this power. If the size
modification rules are in use once two tons is reached the character must
use the attack and damage modifiers for the vehicle size.
Size (large) +2.5 per level
The character is very large. The character
has a very great physical size, mass, toughness, and strength. Each
level of size increases the character's Body Type (in all aspects) by 3
levels, increases the character's Movement Allowance by 2 levels, the character's
height by an additional 6 inches, and weight by an additional 50 lbs. If
the size modification rules are in use once two tons is reached the character
must use the attack and damage modifiers for the vehicle size.
Stretching +1.5 per level
The character's body is maliable and rubbery and
can stretch. Add +3 per level to any attempts to escape bonds succeeds
unless the captor takes precautions to compensate for the character's power.
Also the character can stretch his body 4 feet per level in this ability.
This allows the character to strike an opponent from further away and from
behind if they can stretch far enough.
Superleap +1.5 per level
The character can jump much further than normal.
Multiply the character's leap an additional 1/2 per level in this power.
Supernatural Power Access variable
The character is not a member of a supernatural
group normally allowed the powers but they still have access to them.
This does not give any beginning dots. Also all purchases are at
the most expensive for that group (nonclan cost for vampiric discplines
etc)
+7 Werecreature gifts
+5 Psychic gift creation system
+7 Lillanite power
+10 Mummy Ka Gift
+10 Vampiric Disciplines
NA Magus and True Magus
Swimming +1.5 per level
The character can swim much faster than normal.
For each level in the swim ability multiply the swim listed by an additional
1/2. At the first level this would make swimming speed 1.5 x normal
while at the second level the character's swimming speed would be 2x normal.
However, the number of actions the character may take is unchanged.
This does not include the ability to breath underwater.
Swinging +5 points
The character may swing very well from a line of
some sort. This power includes both the line and the ability to swing
on it. The character may move at twice normal run anytime there are
appropriate outhangings and places to put their line.
Super Flaws
Accidental Change variable
The character can accidentally change form.
This is a flaw only allowed for a character who can already take this form
in some way (multiform is an allowable method). The cost of this
flaw depends on the severity of the inconvenience and the frequency of

Dependence variable
A character with this flaw is dependent on some
substance or they will die. A character cannot take this flaw for

-5 pts the proper environment
exists on most planets likely to be visited by the character but may have
a limited location. Also the requirement may be met with relatively
minor alteration (breathes only water)
-10 pts the special environment exists almost
nowhere where people live and requires a special suit that completely protects
