PUTRID PLUNDER: HALLOWMASK (WOLFMAN)

Hallowmasks are the vanquished remnants of particularly nasty ghostumes.

Each imbues certain abilities when worn (which vanish immediately when removed).  And a mask's mojo only works if its elastic headband is intact; break the strap, and the item is powerless until replaced.

Yeah, lotsa luck finding usable rubber and / or staples on Planet Motherfucker...in fact, taking a band from another functional Hallowmask is the usual method of repair.  A dreadful dilemma, indeed!

(Wearing a Hallowmask is also pretty annoying, as it muffles the voice and gets all sweaty inside.)

) ...grows claws that do STR +d6 damage
) ...gains Tracking d6 and +4 to all corresponding rolls
) ...gets saddled with the major Bloodthirsty Hindrance

SUPERBEAST: GHOSTUME


With the susurrus of tattered plastic, mobs of garish ghostumes flutter across the Planet Motherfucker nightscape.  They glow garishly in the moonlit mists, reflecting an unholy neon mélange of freakish faces and phantasmagorical images.

And though mute, sometimes...if the wind is juuuust right...the maniacal laughter of long-dead children trails their passing.

Ghostumes mob their victims, bludgeoning with invisible fists, slicing with razored mouth-slits, and smothering with acrid vinyl.

When vanquished, ghostumes crumple to the ground in shredded, grimy heaps.  The strap-on masks that serve as their disembodied "heads" can sometimes be salvaged, and when worn, endow supernatural powers....

  • Crinkly 'n Smelly:  Ghostumes suffer a -2 penalty for all Stealth checks.
  • Fear (-2):  Due to their nightmarish appearance, ghostumes induce irrational terror in their victims, penalizing Fear tests by -2.

  • Immunity (Flame Retarded):  Ghostumes are wholly immune to fire- and heat-based attacks.

  • Size -1:  Ghostumes are generally runty (averaging about 4' tall), and lose -1 Toughness.
  • Stun:  Ghostumes ferociously pummel and choke, and those struck must make a Vigor roll or be Shaken for 1d4 rounds.
  • Two-Dimensional:  Flat and lacking solidity, ghostumes get +3 to Parry and +2 Toughness.
  • Weakness ("I Got A Rock"):  Ghostumes can be driven away by fresh apples, religious tracts, pennies, and / or dual toothbrushes wielded like crucifixes.
  • Weakness (Treats):  A thrown handful of sweets sends ghostumes scurrying in its direction, distracting the creatures for 1d4 rounds and leaving them vulnerable.  Their Parry becomes 4 for the duration.  Note:  candy corns work best...and licorice never does!
