CORE

UNORTHODOX METHODS: You blend together method and madness in pursuit of your goals.Gain the Discern skill. Once per session, before you roll dice to resolve an action, instead state that your result is a 6. You succeed but take stress.

THE HIVE: The sweetlings nest within your body. Some of your organs are replaced with complex copies made from wax by industrious bees. They live within you – a few at first, but as you grow in power, great swarms. Their curious buzzing aligns your mind with the Hive. At the beginning of each situation, clear all Mind stress as incipient madness flows through you and into the Hive. You can never benefit from Mind protection or remove stress from Mind, aside from using this ability.

RELEASE THE SWARM: You send out a swarm of bees, eager to defend you. Gain access to the following weapon: (Kill Spread, Ranged).

MAJOR

ANNIHILATION: Your body is unHeart; it burns through the parasitic world of meat and bone. Against heartsblooded people or creatures, your touch functions as a Kill weapon. As you use it, your flesh roils and cracks, but the swarm repairs it as quickly as it is unmade; your opponent doesn’t have that luxury. Against any other target, it functions as a Kill weapon.

MINOR

HUNTER OF THE DAMNED: You bring order to the Heart with sword and shot. Gain the Hunt skill. Once per session, when you eliminate a heartsblooded creature, remove stress from any of your resistances.

MANY EYES: Each of your companions is a vessel for your sight. Gain the Discern skill. When you stand still and close your eyes, you can see through the eyes of any of your bees, allowing you to spy around corners or look into closed spaces. You can’t control the bees directly, but you have enough at your disposal to cover the area around you.

UNCANNY BIOLOGY: Aside from the Queen nestled inside your heart, every part of your body is replaceable by the swarm. Gain +2 Blood Protection.
