BECOME MANIFEST

Cost: Spend 1 Legend
Duration: One scene
Subject: Self
Action: Simple
You perfectly embody your tutelary deity, transforming your flesh into a reflection of their enlightened form. When you first gain this Boon, select three attainments and one devotion, which define the nature of your yidam-form and the restrictions you must obey when invoking it. You may select this Boon additional times, gaining two attainments and one devotion for each purchase. If you violate your devotions, this Boon automatically ends and can’t be used for the rest of the scene. The Storyguide should inform you beforehand if you are about to violate one of your devotions — to do so is a mistake on the character’s part and an active choice on the player’s.

Attainments

• Giant Size: You gain 1 size Scale. You may purchase this attainment multiple times; each additional purchase increases the Scale by 1. You suffer a Complication equal to half the total Scale granted by these attainments, rounded up, to any action that depends on the fine manipulation of objects smaller than yourself; unless bought off, your actions are slower or clumsier than intended. Clothing and similar personal effects are replaced with ceremonial equivalents of appropriate size.
• Burning Presence: You are surrounded by a nimbus of holy fire. Characters within short range suffer +2 Complication on attempts to attack, restrain, or deceive you; if not bought off, they catch fire and must extinguish themselves or else suffer an Injury Condition on their next turn.
• Fearsome Mien: You take on a supernaturally wrathful appearance. You gain +2 Enhancement to intimidate others and increase the difficulty of attempts to intimidate you in return by 1.
• Many-Armed: You grow additional arms which provide +2 Enhancement to physical actions that benefit from coordination, leverage, or multi-tasking.
• Many-Headed: You have at least one additional head, granting you the ability to see in 360 degrees. You gain +2 Enhancement to rolls based on perception and computation and can’t be ambushed by beings of a lower Tier.
• Vehicle: You are borne upon a sacred vessel, such as an enormous lotus or a flying chariot drawn by enormous peacocks. You gain the ability to fly, although you can’t rush or disengage while doing so.

Devotions

• Gentle: You can’t initiate violence and can only fight to defend yourself and others from aggressors.
• Honest: You can’t lie or deceive others with the intention of manipulating them or profiting from the deceit.
• Gracious: You can’t insult, slander, or gossip about others, or otherwise speak in malice.
• Disciplined: You can’t act out of hate, anger, or otherwise submit to impulsive action.
