Dec 2, 2011 Dec 2, 2011 8:22 AM NPC Islands of War Carapace 0 Varies N/A N/A Black, Shiny N/A 1' 10 lb 0 N/A Carapace 4 An unbound carapace is instintually drawn toward movement and heat, nearly regardless of the source, because they have no intelligence. They do avoid direct sunlight, however. If neither of these stimuli are available, they'll move toward any fungi it can smell, which it will attempt to eat, eventually dividing if it gets enough to eat. The bonded carapace uses it's healing ability to keep it's host alive. However, when the host does die, the carapace dies as well, leaving the body filled with spores that will turn the body's mass into a one new carapace for every 3 feet of height or body length. Particularly wide or thin hosts may produce more or less than this, at the GM's discretion. 0 0 100 10 10 10 10 0 0 0 0 true true true Carapace Advantages 360° Vision Physical, Exotic 25 Easy to hit -20 total B34 Others can target your eyes at -6 Panoptic 1 20 total P39 Panoptic 2 60 total P39 B34 Advantage Binding Physical, Exotic 50 2 Engulphing 60 total B40 Only Damaged by @Burning/Cutting/Crushing@ 30 total B40 Only Damaged by @Burning/Cutting/Crushing@ or @Burning/Cutting/Crushing@ 20 total B40 Only Damaged by Burning, Cutting or Crushing 10 total B40 Sticky 20 total B40 Unbreakable 40 total B40 One Shot -10 total B40 Super-Binding 400 total Sup25 Aura 80 total Melee Attack (Reach C) -30 total Binds Contact Surface Instead of Legs -20 total Mutual Binding (Carapace and victim are stuck to each other) 0 total Only Works on True Vertebrates -10 total Cannot Stick to a Sealed Target -10 total One Victim at a Time -10 total Always On -20 total B40 Advantage Clinging Physical, Exotic 20 Specific -40 total B43 @Common Material@ Specific -60 total B43 @Uncommon Material@ Specific -80 total B43 @Absurd Material@ Attraction 25 total P45 Requires Low Gravity -5 1 total P45 Only While Unintegrated -40 total B43 Advantage Doesn't Sleep Physical, Exotic 20 B50 Advantage Growth Physical, Exotic 12 10 Maximum Size Only 0 total B58 Only to Match SM of Bound Target -20 total Onset (1 day) -30 total Unconscious Only -20 total Uncontrollable Trigger (Binding to a Target) -10 total B58 Takes a day to grow by each SM; Onset is used here the same way as in Nondetection on p.
