    Thinking fast, you yank your bedside drawer and pull out the nail that's been sitting there since... well, since your parents put your bedroom furniture together. Hopefully it's a spare one, and they didn't just get bored and not bother to complete something. "Waitaminute," you rush, stumbling off the bed and over to the door.

    Cool magical powers probably don't fight infection.

    "The hell're ya doin', kid?!"

    "HOLD OOOOOONNN," you wail, opening the door and hurling yourself into the corridor, towards the bathroom.

    "Hideyoshi, what are you doing?" Your dad's voice is muffled through your parent's door, but he sounds half-asleep.

    "NOTHING, GO TO SLEEP." Bathroom. Tap. Handwash? Screw it, a blob of it on the end of the nail will do, it's not like you're drinking it. Then back into the corridor again, bedroom, and throwing yourself down on the bed.

    "... That was weird, kid," the brush says, as you hold out your arm, pull a face and -

    Goddamnit, my luck sucks today!

    @Zen, should I roll others since no one else is?
    Khepri14 threw 1 100-faced dice. Reason: 1d100 Total: 4

    Well, the 4d100s have all passed the DC anyway, but I still need one more roll for the 1d100.

    Also, next update should have a vote to select 4 of these:
    Ambidextrous Lvl 1 - Permanently allows use of non-dominant hand at 20% ability to dominant hand.
    Cat's Eyes Lvl 1 - Perfect night-vision (except colour) for up to 5 seconds at a time. Must have at least a minute between uses.
    Camouflage Lvl 1 - Harder to spot when staying still in an unobtrusive location.
    Centre of Balance Lvl 1 - Balance permanently improved by 20%.
    Claws Lvl 1 - Small, retractable claws (on fingers and toes as needed), for use in climbing or combat.
    Feature Blur Lvl 1 - When viewed on camera footage, 5% chance of features being continuously blurred and unidentifiable.
    Flexibility Lvl 1 - Permanently allows for slightly improved physical bending and contortion.
    High Jump Lvl 1 - Increase maximum jumping height by two, and length by 1.5.
    Improved Sense (Choose) Lvl 1 - Chosen sense permanently improved by 10%.
    Intangibility Lvl 1 - Can phase through solid objects for 1 second, or can phase a limb for 5 seconds. Must have at least a minute between uses.
    Life Sense Lvl 1 - Can sense human, animal and plant life for up to 10 seconds, in a range of 5 metres. Must have at least two minutes between uses.
    Mimic Lvl 1 - Ability to mimic any voice you've heard on a regular basis using a large variety of words (about 50 hours of speaking).
    Shadow Walk Lvl 1 - Can travel through connect shadows for up to 1 metre. Must have at least a minute between uses.
    Short Out Lvl 1 - When directed at a specifically identified electrical item, can short out for 1 minute at a time. 1 use every 10 minutes.
    Silent Steps Lvl 1 - Sound of your footsteps decreased by 20% for up to 5 minutes at a time. Must have at least a minute between uses.
    Tough Skin Lvl 1 - Attacks 20% less likely to break through your skin.
    Regeneration Lvl 1 - Healing speed increased by 10%, 20% less likely to leave scarring or other damage.
    Although one of them will be at level 3 thanks to that nat 100.

    {waits for third 1d100 roll}
     
    Shitdice play nice?

    edit: Yeah, accidental d6 aside, that's about normal for me.

    6 6
    Arkatekt threw 1 100-faced dice. Reason: Zen's wanted roll. Total: 9

    Is this an active or passive effect. You know, given that we're planning on being on camera for work...

    Passive, although it can be switched on and off. It gets rolled for each camera or other device, each time you come into their view.

    As a note, everything is incredibly weak right now, so even something seemingly useless will become powerful with training. Powers are based around the 'shadows and secrecy' choice because that won, but you can develop more flashy powers later if you decide to go more for showmanship.

    I'm typing up the next post now, but there'll also be a write-in option, although I'll obviously have to okay any original votes.
