| Delete/Insert/Alter Gene (• • • Life) Technocracy: Progenitors 43 |
| By genetically enhancing the Pattern of her own body, the Progenitor
can significantly improve her own form. Each success allows her to
increase a Physical, Mental or Appearance Attribute by one (even above 5).
The effect lasts for a number of hours equal to the number of successes.
This cannot be a permanent effect unless the Sphere of Prime is used in
conjunction with the augmentation. Similar to the "Better Body" effect, the Progenitor will suffer the loss of one Health Level if she attempts to maintain the new Pattern beyond the predetermined time. She will continue to lose one Health Level each day she maintains the form. Stressing the altered form after the expiration of the time limit can lead to further damage. This damage can only be healed by bed rest and normal medical attention. As a short-term effect, a sample of DNA from a regenerative organism can be temporarily integrated into the DNA of a wounded person; this effect requires one success. Such a procedure enhances the restorative process, healing one Health Level in one turn. If the DNA is integrated into all the cells in the body (four successes), the body will regenerate one Health Level every three turns. (Another reason that the Genegineers are interested in finding more werewolves is to analyze and use their regenerative properties.) |
