A new special ability anyone can take:

Eye Shine

The operation takes 3 coin and 6 hours, with a 4 segment recovery clock. A skilled and trained whisper, alchemist, and physick must be involved. Eye Shine allows the character to see in the dark, and also see electroplasm. Unless there is warding magic concealing electroplasm, the character can now visually identify hollows, vampires, possessed bodies, ghosts, and other electroplasmic phenomenon. Demon energy is not visible. The character’s eyes reflect light and have a soft blue glow from the pupils.

A new special ability anyone can take:

Meat Lock.

Pay 2 coin to get a tattoo with special inks done by an expert trained whisper, roughly the size of a palm. As long as the tattoo is on the character, the character cannot be possessed by a ghost. The meat lock also counts as a fine item in repelling other supernatural possession effects.

A new special ability anyone can take:

Replant.

The operation costs 4 coin and requires knowledgeable participation of a whisper, an alchemist, and a physick in an operation that takes about 12 hours and requires a 6 segment downtime recovery clock.

A cyst of electroplasm is lodged somewhere in the character’s torso. When the character dies, the spirit is released instead of being tied to the body. The spirit has 24 hours to inhabit a hollow. Once a hollow is inhabited, and once the body is where it can go into a coma for a week, the cyst finishes opening. The hollow will be transformed to exactly resemble the dead character, complete with physical and mental and spiritual qualities.

New special ability anyone can take:

Will to Go On. Reduce Trauma by 1.

This special ability can be taken up to three times; once for relationships, once for “the mission,” and once for vengeance.

I am still troubled by the way trauma and vice fit together. I’m seriously considering swapping it for my games, and here is a discussion exploring that idea.

For my games online with gangs, it doesn’t matter. We won’t do down time for those anyway.
