Effect
Roll Resolve + Protean; each success permits one change, with total active changes capped by your Protean rating. Each change removes one Physical Attribute dot, never reducing an Attribute below 1. A normal use takes a turn. Options include moving a dot to another Physical Attribute (maximum 5), one mundane +2-damage natural weapon, or two armor per change (maximum six armor). Appearance changes take a scene and Dexterity + Craft: Difficulty 3 to conceal identity, 4 to improve Looks, or 5 to impersonate someone. Failure still loses the Attribute dot; total failure also worsens Looks. Nosferatu can use appearance changes only to conceal identity. Other alterations require Storyteller rulings. Track original Attributes for experience costs. Changes persist until mended as Aggravated damage, one damage-equivalent per change, restoring the sacrificed dots.
