Natural Attributes: General
Bark: Can use a Simple Action to make a loud noise that can be heard 2 miles in the open air. This cry can communicate identity and emotional state to other dogs.
Burrow: Move 3 feet through loose soil in combat, burrow 1 mile without stopping.
HyperEgg: After consuming an object, the character can use HyperEgg to expel that object encased in a quick-hardening egg filled with oxygen-rich embryo. This requires a minimum of three consecutive Move Actions: One to gather the object and embryo in the stomach, two to form the egg, and three to lay it. Characters processed and encased by HyperEgg suffer no Integrity damage and can exist in the Egg perpetually. Eggs can only be broken by beating the Egg’s Body Score, which is equal to the Body Score at the time of the character that laid it, plus any Natural Armor modifiers. The egg’s starting Natural Armor score is 0.
-1 Body Ability Point can be spent to buy 2 Natural Armor Points for Egg.
Exaggerate: Can extend the length of any limb to 3 times its normal length. While extended the extremity has a negative modifier equal to half the Body Ability Score, rounded down.
Howl: Can use a Move Action to make a loud cry that can be heard 20 miles in the open air by normal characters, 50 miles by wolves. This cry can communicate identity and emotional state to other wolves. Howl can be considered a Battle Cry.
Long Tongue: Character has a long tongue. All Clashes made with an extended tongue receive a Negative Modifier equal to half the character’s Body Ability Score, rounded down. Long tongues naturally have a length of 1/5th the character’s body and can not exceed full length in normal characters, without additional effects.
-1 Body Ability Point can be spent to buy 1 foot of Tongue.
Magical Construct: The character’s Integrity is contingent on a magical effect. They emit a constant magical aura and Disenchants can be used as an Attack against them.
Morph: Can take the shape of another species or sex as a Move Action. Can not be used to change specific elements like unique facial features, color, and body type. Does not gain any additional effects from this change. Can not make Advanced Movements, like flight or burrow, without gaining that Attribute. Can not morph into unusual species or sexes like Changeling or Rubber.
-1 Body Ability Point can be spent on Natural Attributes available to a species. They only apply while morphed into a species that can use them. Spend during a full period of rest while in an appropriate form.
Improved Morph: Can take the shape of inanimate objects of a matching size with a Move Action. Character enters the Concealed state. The character takes an approximate form of the object, but does not become that object, so any discrepancies will be a clue to their hidden identity.
Mimic: Can use a Move Action to alter specific elements of one’s form, like color, facial features, and body type. A total of 50 pounds of body mass can be appropriated to any means, but actual sex and species does not change. Does not gain any additional effects from this change. Characters can use mimic to masquerade as another identity. While doing so they are in a Concealed state. If the mimic failed to copy a particular element of that character, or fails to properly mimic their personality, other characters may be clued to their true identities.
Prehensile Tail: Tail can be used to grab objects and support the character’s total body weight. Tail can also attempt an independent Grapple Action by applying the negative modifiers of the Exaggerate Natural Ability. If a prehensile tail is used in addition to another Grapple Action than its separate Grapple Action is added as a modifier to that attempt.
Protective Ball: Can use a Move Action to roll into a protective ball. While in a ball any Natural Armor Modifiers are doubled. No other actions can be made until the ball form is exited.
Roar: Can use an Move Action to make a loud bellow that can be heard 10 miles in the open air. Roar can be considered a Battle Cry.
Stink Spray: Can use to make a Chemical Attack with a range of 30 feet. Chemical is a Contact Attack and deals no Integrity damage. If Clash Over is triple the current Integrity score of the defending character that character is knocked Unconscious for 1 minute. Otherwise the defending character is Stunned. All items and characters hit by natural stink spray are Stinky for a period of up to one month. This state can be removed with a full day of cleaning or through magical means.
-1 Skill Point is used to make a Stink Spray Attack.
Tail Maw: There is a mouth at the end of your tail. Tail maw can make a Bite Attack or Grapple Move. Tail mouths can make noises, but can not talk without additional Attributes or effects.
Vocal Mimicry: Able to replicate a large variety of voices, whistles, and noises. If mimicry is used to fool another character than the mimicker must be in a Concealed state. Vocal Mimicry attempts while in a Concealed state will Clue other characters to the whereabouts of the mimicker, but will not clue them off to the mimicker’s identity. Clues to their identity can be found through mistakes, like mimicking a noise that is not appropriate in a given circumstance or saying something a mimicked character would not normally say. If a Concealed character Clues another character to their whereabouts a successful vocal mimicry can be used to fool that character into believing something else was responsible for that clue.
Wings: Lift off 5 feet or fly 10 feet after lifting off in combat, fly 20 miles without stopping. While in natural flight characters must continue to use Move Actions to fly or they will immediately fall.

They gain anthropomorphism and their movements can be controlled by the character.

Characters can only Soulbind with one object.

The Gank Combat System is still in the earliest stages of testing, so a lot of this may change in the dead of any given night. Likewise, if you have suggestions for improving any Attributes listed above, or want to add some of your own, please take the time to post a comment below. Reply to other comments to help refine your fellow buccaneer’s ideas. Gank doesn’t just encourage user input, it thrives on it. This system is open and designed to be whatever you all want, or need, it to be. But it can’t be that unless you make your voices heard.
