Editing LeviathanTempest:TransformDepth (section)

=== Degrees of Transformation ===

* '''Depth 0''' - In other words, human form. In this Depth, the Leviathan is roughly indistinguishable from other humans, but can only make use of Birthrights.

* '''Depth 1''' - "Close hybrid." At this degree of transformation, the Leviathan is still mostly human in appearance - only a wary onlooker can piece together the subtle visual cues that betray his nature. He begins to benefit from his Echoes and gains access to the least of their powers.

* '''Depth 2''' - "Far hybrid." This degree represents the level of many hybrids. While one might mistake them for a human from a distance or if they were suitably garbed, the signs that were previously merely hints begin to declare the unnatural essence of the Leviathan.
 
* '''Depth 3''' - "Bestial." The Leviathan can no longer pass as human - this form melds the aquatic and the terrestrial into something monstrous and twisted. This form is something out of a horror movie. At this point, the Leviathan increases in stature, and he gains access to the greater reaches of his Echoes.  
** The Leviathan's Size increases by 1. 

* '''Depth 4''' - "Horrific." At this Depth, the Leviathan is entirely monstrous - large and marked by the transformations wrought by his Echoes. His nature expresses itself so fully that, without supernatural aid, no aspect of his being can be construed as human - even his voice, heard over the phone, immediately proclaims that the speaker is nothing that should exist. 
** Unless manipulating the Beloved or making use of Echoes to warp the minds of subjects, the Leviathan suffers a -2 penalty on all social rolls. 

* '''Depth 5''' - "Aweful." The Leviathan is no longer even remotely human in appearance - his conception of his nature informs the exact markings that he takes on, but he is entirely a construct of his unnatural bloodline. He is near the peak of his power, but immediately repulses those that are not already deeply under his control.
** Unless manipulating the Beloved or making use of Echoes to warp the minds of subjects, the Leviathan automatically fails all social rolls. 

* '''Depth 6''' - "Apotheosis." The Leviathan reaches the greatest reaches of transformation, becoming a thing that is entirely of the Primordial Seas. He is ''at least'' ten feet in size at this point, and his shape is nearly entirely aquatic - his appearance owes more to sea monsters than it does to homo sapiens. The pinnacle of change also unlocks the Leviathan's full potential, making the greatest use of his Echoes.
** The Leviathan's Size increases by 1, cumulative with the previous increase.
** Exposure to air drains the Leviathan of power. He may go (Stamina) rounds before this begins, at which point he begins to lose 1 Ichor per round until drained of power or returning to water or a lesser Depth. Partial submersion in a body of water of at least the size of a swimming pool will prevent this loss. 
** If the Leviathan has 0 Ichor in this form, he must roll a degeneration check for his current Tranquility each turn. In this fashion, a Leviathan stranded on dry land will go mad. Typhons stranded without Ichor begin to lose Health Levels instead. 
** Mortal onlookers with existing mild Derangements have those derangements worsen into Severe equivalents for the duration of their exposure and (10 - their Willpower) hours afterwards. This category includes many Hybrids and Lahmasu.
