Monstrous Transformation (•• to •••••)
Overt
Discrete, Toggled
In a matter of seconds, the Deviant transforms into a monster that walks upright like a person. This Variation allows the Remade to take a single form cho-sen at the time of purchase. This Variation may be purchased any number of times, and each time it allows the Deviant to adopt a different monstrous form, but only one can be active at a time. The form possesses a number of Scar-free Variations based on Magnitude, chosen at the time of purchase. The Magnitude of Variations this grants can be lower than the maximums, but the number of Variations based on the highest-Magnitude, Scar-free Variation cannot be. All these capabilities must fit the profile of the inhuman form the Deviant assumes. The secondary Variations do not count toward the proportion of Variations outside of the Deviant's Clade plus Universal Variations versus non-Clade Variations, and they all share the same type (Mental/ Physical/Social) as Monstrous Transformation. When Monstrous Transformation activates, so do all its nested Variations, but Directed Variations still require an action to target. Although Monstrous Transformation grants secondary Variations, Sacred Flesh (p. 151) can grant it to another character. At Magnitude ••, this is two Magnitude • Variations. At Magnitude •••, this is two Magnitude •• Variations or three Magnitude • Variations. At Magnitude ••••, this is two Magnitude ••• Variations, three Magnitude •• Variations, or four Magnitude • Variations. At Magnitude •••••, this is two Magnitude •••• Variations, three Magnitude ••• Variations, four Magnitude •• Variations, or five Magnitude • Variations.
The Cephalist unfurls all her considerable psychic talents at once, hovering above the ground while manifesting telekinetic and telepathic powers. However, she cannot fully contain this power and must unveil it more frequently than is safe (Power Build-Up; Involuntary; Resolve).
The Chimeric transforms into a dangerous wolfman, but he can be mortally wounded by silver (Bane; Persistent).
The Coactive becomes a portrait of angelic glory, but this transformation lasts only a few seconds, after which she must say a prayer before invoking its power again (Depletion; Controlled; Manipulation)
