Okay, I'm pretty sure this is all my own material, possibly inspired by someone else's work. But its been a while since I wrote this. So if I've blatantly ripped off someone else and just given it my own polish, I sincerely apologize (and please direct me to the original source).
EXTRA APPENDAGES
Cost = 2 white stones x [Modifier Number + Usage Factor] (see below)
Description
You possess any number of additional limbs, be they extra arms or legs, tentacles, a prehensile tail, etc. This Modifier grants free stones toward applicable Actions when it is appropriate for the extra limbs to be used.
Usage Factor is equal to the number of Actions or Abilities this Modifier applies to, plus any Cost Level increases for those Actions. For example, an extra set of legs that apply to Close Combat and Unstoppable (AN + 3) would have a Usage Factor of 5. If those legs were purchased with a Modifier Number of 3, the cost would be 16 white stones (2 x [3 + 5] = 16). Free stones for applicable Abilities are only granted when the Ability is used as an Action, not when used as an Ability Bonus.
This Modifier may be purchased multiple times for different appendages (such as an extra set of arms and a prehensile tail).
Options
• -1 white stone to Cost if Modifier Number is reduced under special conditions, such as when using fewer appendages for an action.
Comments
This Modifier can get expensive, but getting free stones to multiple Actions from a single Modifier is well worth the cost, especially since this Modifier pretty much guarantees to qualify a character for the Looks Non-Human Challenge.
Rule for Modifier Box:
• [Extra Appendages]: Add free stones equal to MN to [insert applicable Actions/Abilities]
