Nine Aspects came in Better Angels<\/i>, but there\u2019s always room for more, right?<\/p>\n

An Utmost Foulness (Cunning<\/b><\/span>)<\/h2>\n

While many demons\u2019 heritage is reflected with traditional looks like horns and fanged maws and leathery bat wings, some are ugly even by Hell\u2019s standards.\u00a0 Those are the ones who can take Utmost Foulness as an Aspect.\u00a0 When relaxed, those with this Aspect look like the aftermath of a fire in a wax museum\u2014melted forms with too many eyes, limbs and mouths, gooified and slagged together wrong.\u00a0 Except it\u2019s all moving, reforming, like a snail\u2019s eye times a thousand with half-recognized human organs and animal features, rising and falling, much of it stuff on the outside that should be hidden within.\u00a0 Never still, it\u2019s a stretchy, polyadaptive, gooey mess.<\/p>\n

The advantage of being a plastoid mass of ever-changing limbs is that it makes you very versatile.<\/p>\n

With Utmost Foulness in play, a character gets points of weapon\/tool Advantage for any physical task, simply by making his body into what he needs.\u00a0 He can exude spikes for striking, make his body a slingshot to hurl a rock at someone, ooze away from injury or whip up a quick plastron to shed unwanted blows.\u00a0 The amount of Advantage is half his current Cunning<\/span> score.<\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s up to the GM to offer Advantage (or Difficulty) to social or mental tasks that might be helped or hindered by repulsive, seething mutation.<\/b>\u00a0 Spotting that ambush might be easier if you can make your eye telescopic or turn a foot-square surface of your body into an exterior eardrum.\u00a0 On the other hand, seducing someone while looking like an animate offal pile may be impossible, no matter your Corruption<\/i> score.\u00a0 Scaring the crap out of people is definitely easier, though.<\/p>\n

Aqua-Form (Sly<\/b><\/span>)<\/h2>\n

You become a blue-green figure of water and ice, sliding and sloshing around the landscape.\u00a0 Being made of living water has several advantages.<\/p>\n
