Controlled Scars
• You may take a beat when distraction or disruption causes an entangled Variation
to shut down or misfire.
•• Lethal damage, Faltering, and being Stunned or Distracted provoke Scar
Subtle, Resistance. On failure, the entangled Variation deactivates.
Mental, As Magnitude ••, and choose one:

Repeatable Tenuous: Successful attacks and hostile powers provoke Scar Resistance.

••• Unfocused: Activating entangled Variations while suffering a distracting Tilt or

Concentration Condition requires successful Scar Resistance. DTR 152
•••• As Magnitude •••, but suffer both complications.
After-Effect + • Directed-Only. Directing entangled Variations for more consecutive turns than
your Scar Resistance inflicts a chosen negative Condition.
Self-Doubt +• This Scar's effect shuts down entangled Variations for a full scene.
Single-Minded + • Directed-Only. Failing to direct an active entangled Variation for a turn provokes
Scar Resistance.
• You may take a beat when repeated use of an entangled Variation causes it to fail
or malfunction.
•• Directing entangled Variations on consecutive turns inflicts a cumulative -1 Scar
Finesse penalty, which dissipates when you spend a turn without directing.
Subtle, Any, ••• As Magnitude ••, but the penalty starts at (6 - Scar Resistance), and a turn spent
Cooldown Directed-Only, without directing an entangled Variation only reduces the penalty by one. DTR 153
Repeatable As Magnitude •••, and choose one:

•••• Blackout: Dramatic failure to direct an entangled Variation shuts it down for the
scene.

Ponderous: Reducing the penalty by one takes two turns.

••••• As Magnitude ••••, but suffer both complications.
• You may take a beat to briefly exhaust the use of an entangled Variation.
•• Entangled Variations function up to your Scar Resistance in consecutive turns
before needing an instant action to replenish.
••• As Magnitude ••, but recharging forfeits Defense, and each successive recharge
Subtle, Any, in a scene takes another consecutive action.
Repeatable As Magnitude •••, and choose one:

Depletion Brief: A single turn of use depletes entangled Variations.

DTR 153
•••• Slow-Charging: Recharging entangled Variations takes (6 - Scar Resistance)
hours of intensive focus.
••••• As Magnitude ••••, but suffer both complications.
Hazardous +• Recharging inflicts lethal damage.

Deterioration Physical, Lingering: The debility lasts for a chapter, becoming a corresponding Persistent DTR 153
Repeatable ••• Condition.

Painful: Activating an entangled Variation also inflicts bashing damage.

Severe: Suffer a severe version of the debility.

Drawback Repeatable DTR 154
Continual +• Always suffer the secondary Scar's effects.
• You may take a beat when your entangled Variations weaken or fail because of a
chosen circumstance, such as "on holy ground" or "suffering lethal damage."
The chosen circumstance provokes a Scar Resistance roll each turn to prevent
•• Magnitude loss, and penalizes Scar Finesse to activate them by (6 - Scar
Subtle, Any, Resistance).
Repeatable As Magnitude ••, but failing Scar Resistance instead deactivates that Variation
Power Failure ••• for as long as the circumstance persists. DTR 155
•••• As Magnitude •••, but the Variation remains deactivated for a scene minimum.
