Roll Results
Dramatic Failure: The clause fails hideously, maiming the changeling for a brief period of time. The character suffers two points of lethal damage and is unable to move for three turns. For five turns thereafter, she may move at only half her normal Speed.
Failure: The Contract fails to provide the manipulated feature.
Success: The changeling creates a unique bodily feature of her choosing. Whatever the feature, the mechanical effects must be one of the following (the changeling’s choice):
- The feature acts as a natural weapon, granting a one lethal damage bonus.
- The feature acts as natural armor, effectively duplicating the effects of chain mail (see p. 170 of the World of Darkness Rulebook).
- The feature grants a +3 Speed bonus.
- The feature grants a +4 Initiative bonus.
- The feature renders the character immune to damage penalties.
Whatever the feature is, it lasts for the remainder of the scene, until the changeling consciously chooses to revert her features back to their normal state, or until the changeling uses this clause again to gain a different feature.
Exceptional Success: As with a standard success, only the Contract is so effective, the Oddbody effect confers the benefits of two features as described above.
