ALL FLESH MUST BE EATEN



ENTER THE ZOMBIE

CHAPTER TWO

• Arm Lock: parry or grab someone successfully to apply Strength Damage as long as the arm lock is held. This damage is inflicted automatically, but the defender can break free if they win a Difficult Strength test vs. Strength+Arm Lock test.
  
• Back Kick: kick people behind you without turning around, dealing d4xStrength damage. Failing this move means you run the risk of accidentally throwing yourself off balance or falling down.
  
• Breakfall: Make a Dexterity+Breakfall check where success levels reduce the damage multiplier from a fall by 1 point per level. When the multiplier hits 1, the success levels start shaving 1 point of damage off the result per level.
  
• Counterpunch: triggers on a successful parry. Each level of success from the parry adds +1 to hit with the counterpunch. The punch deals 1d4xStrength damage.
  
• Crescent Kick: kick mightily in a circle. Deals 1d6xStrength damage but it's harder to keep your balance than the Back Kick.
  
• Disarm: Dex+Disarm vs. Dex+Weapon Skill to disarm an enemy.
  
• Flip: get off the ground without having to use a Defense action to get back up on a successful Dex+Flip roll. Failure means the Defense was wasted and you're still on the ground.
  
• Grab: a successful grab means that the attacker can fire off another Combat Move with no penalty for multiple actions. Grabs can be added to Dodges or Parries with no penalty either. Does this mean you can Parry a punch, Grab the attacker and Counterpunch the attacker right in the solar plexus? Yes it does!
  
• Head Butt: The big upside of a head butt is that you can use it when your hands are full or you're tied up. The big downside is that a failed Skill roll to use it means you take the 1d4xStrength damage instead because you hurt your head. Fairly accurate to real life, really.
  
• Jab: Jabs can be used twice in a row with no penalty because they're so quick. 1d4x(Strength-1) damage.
  
• Judo Throw: Parry or Grab someone to make a Judo Throw roll. Success deals 1d4 damage and puts the opponent prone, giving them -4 to pretty much everything combat-related.
  
• Jump Kick: deals 1d6x(Strength+2) damage but loving it up means you run the risk of falling down.
  
• Kick: Regardless of success, throwing a kick out into the aether means that the attacker gets -2 to any defensive actions that turn or the next. 1d4x(Strength+1) damage.
  
• Punch: On the other hand, throwing a punch gives you +2 to any defensive action that turn. Deals 1d4xStrength damage.
  
• Roll With The Blow: If you're hit by an attack, you can spend your next attack move to attempt to roll with the blow. Before damage is calculated, a successful RWTB test means each level of success reduces the damage multiplier of the attack by 2 down to 0.
  
• Roundhouse: A heavy attack that deals 1d6xStrength damage but means you take -2 to defensive actions that round.
  
• Stabbing Hand: Punch+; more damage but with less defensive bonuses. 1d4x(Strength+1) damage.
  
• Shove: force the opponent back on successful contest with the possibility of putting them on the ground. No damage.
  
• Spin Kick: Deals 1d4x(Strength+2) damage but carries the same defense penalty as the regular kick plus the threat of losing your balance like the back kick.
  
• Sucker Punch: if the attacker succeeds on an Intelligence+Sucker Punch vs. Perception test, the target can't defend against the 1d4xStrength damage punch.
  
• Trip: Force the target down to the ground and deal 1d6 damage.

• Acrobatic Shooting (2e/turn): the Shooter is capable of feats of gymnastic prowess such as the classic Max Payne diving shot or surfing on a car hood and shooting or doing a backflip and shooting. Enemies have -3 to hit the shooter using this power without penalizing the shooter at all, or this ability can just be used to let the shooter do something seemingly impossible while shooting.
  
• Ain’t Got Time To Bleed (varies): AGTTB lets the user ignore the penalties of damage as long as they can pay the Essence to just grit their teeth and bear it. 2 Essence points can be used to ignore 5 points of damage. The damage is still taken, but it only really takes hold at -20 LP when all of the survival rules take effect.
  
• Balance of the Cat (1e/turn): Engage in gymnastic shenanigans without fail in addition to automatically recovering from being thrown. These things can all be done at full speed too.
  
• Be Like The Water (varies): 2 Essence points per turn grant an extra Dodge.
  
• Blind Firing (3e/attack): Lowers the penalties to shooting with poor visibility to a flat -3 to hit.
  
• Blind Strike (2e/attack): Like above but with melee. The fighter also knows where exactly the enemy is if they're within Speed yards of them.
  
• Catch Bullets (3e/attempt): You can attempt to catch up to your Dexterity in missiles (bullets, arrows, shuriken) by paying the cost and making a Difficult Dexterity Test each time. Essence can also be spent to give a bonus on the attempts to catch. Does not work with bombs or shotguns unless the shotgun is loaded with slugs.
  
• Chi Block (4e/close combat attack): Punch an enemy and spend the Essence to inflict 1d4xStrength damage but it also messes with their Chi flow. A successful punch means the target can channel Success Levels less Essence for Success Levels rounds.
  
• Chi Bolt (5e/bolt): Throw Chi manifested in some form as a ranged attack, maybe as a fireball or sonic boom or something invisible. Deals 1d6x4 damage and can target up to Willpowerx10 yards away.
  
• Chi Drain (4e/attack): Damage the opponent to make Essence flow from them and be lost in the air. Essence lost this way can't be used by anyone unless they have some kind of vampiric ability. Bleeds off 1d6x3 Chi.
  
• Chi Punch (3e/attack): Coats your fist in visible Chi energy until you attack something with it. Deals 1d10xStrength damage.
  
• Chi Shout (1e/attack): kiai loudly when attacking for +2 to hit and +2 damage on a melee attack. No yelling to make bullets better.
  
• Combat Sense (3e/turn): +3 to Perception when using this ability and +2 to initiative.
  
• Crippling Hold (3e/turn): Automatically apply 1d6xStrength damage when you’re grappling someone as long as you can pay the Essence cost. If you have to recharge, you’ll continue grappling the target but just don’t do any damage.
  
• Drunken Punch (3e/attack): The attacker can fire off an erratic punch that causes the defendant to take a -3 to avoid the punch. If it connects, the -3 continues to all defensive actions for the next turn. The Drunken Punch itself deals 1d6x(Strength+1) damage.
  
• Eagle Eye (2e/attack): Ignore all range penalties with firearms and shoot accurately up to the weapon’s maximum range. Want to kill a helicopter pilot with a handgun? Eagle Eye’s got your back.
  
• Flying (5e/turn): Literally fly. Well, okay, jump in the air and have total directional control over your trajectory and where you’re going to land. It’s more like a hang time in a basketball dunk. While aloft, the user can move at a rate of Speedx4 and can keep spending Essence to remain in the air. This can also be used to control/negate fall damage.
  
• Flying Chi Kick (2e/attack): Launch yourself like a missile and travel up to 20 feet in a straight line to hit the target. Defending against the kick is done normally, but the kick itself does 1d8x(Strength+2) damage.
  
• Flying Windmill Kick (varies): Mix the Flying Chi Kick with the later Hurricane of Kicks and you’ve got this ability. You launch yourself like a FCK, it has the same base cost and the same damage, but you can also spend 2 Essence to attempt another kick with no penalty for multiple actions. You can spend up to 10 Essence to fire off multiple kicks.
  
• Great Leap (1e/leap): Standing still, the user can hop up to 18 feet (6 meters) in the air or jump 36 feet (12 meters) horizontally. With a running start of at least 9 feet, the vertical limit is 36 feet and the horizontal limit is 72 feet (24 meters).
  
• Golden Bell (varies): The user can kiai and help negate damage as they receive it thanks to the power of Hamon Energy Chi. The user can spend up to 5 Essence and each point negates 1d4xWillpower damage. Note: this only works against blunt weapons, not bladed/edged weapons or bullets.
  
• Healing Touch (3e/touch): Ahh, here we go, reliable healing for the party on the go. Each touch massages life back into the body via Chi infusion and can be used on the user or someone else, even if they’re undead. Every touch restores 1d4xWillpower Life Points (or if you’re undead, just User’s Willpower LP).
  
• Hurricane of Kicks (varies): Fire off another kick for the price of 2 Essence. The extra kicks don’t have any penalties for multiple actions, but you can only spend up to 8 points of Essence and this ability doesn’t combine with any other technique or combat move.
  
• Instant Reload (2e/reload): the user can reload faster than the eye can see, meaning the gun is just spontaneously reloaded as long as the user has more bullets on their person somewhere.
  
• Iron Palm (2e/attack): Deal 1d6xStrength damage against living or undead targets. You can also use this to punch through wood or stone, leaving a fist-sized hole. Not effective against any metal stronger than iron.
  
• Multiple Shooter (varies): Use Chi to control the muzzle of a gun so there’s less kick and you can shoot more accurately. In plain English, make as many ranged attacks as you want with no penalty as long as you pay 1 Essence. Penalties only apply when the shooter stops paying Essence. This is absolutely overpowered in terms of combat and absolutely hilariously useful.
  
• No Shadow Kick (varies): The advanced form of the Flying Windmill Kick. The first attack costs 4 Essence and up to 10 more points can be spent on using more kicks, like the FWK. Unlike the FWK, every kick knocks the target back 2 yards if it connects and when all kicks are done the target has to make a test to remain on their feet and not fall to the ground (if they’re still alive). Damage is the same as the FWK.
  
• No See Blow (4e/attack): A rough punch to the opponent’s head only deals 1d4xStrength damage but blinds them for rounds equal to double the amount of Success Levels achieved.
  
• One-Inch Punch (1e/attack): Ahh, the famous One-Inch Punch. You can use this while being grappled by an opponent or attack people discretely in a crowd, making them roll to see if they notice the blow coming or if anyone else sees you hit them. Deals 1d4x(Strength+1) damage and extra Essence can be spent to make it harder to see coming, but can’t be combined with any other Chi ability.
  
• Penetrating Shot (varies): Ignore armor without using armor-piercing rounds. It costs 2 Essence to ignore armor up to chainmail, 3 for armor up to plate, Class 1 and riot shields and 4 for armor up to Class 2, 3 or 4.
  
• Power Flick (3e/attack): Imbue Chi into an item and then flick it at the enemy to deal 1d6x2 damage. You can use playing cards, pebbles, pencils, grains of rice or you can even use bullets without a gun.
  
• Quick Draw (2e/draw): Exactly what it sounds like, but mostly for guns as long as they’re within six feet of you. Two shooters with this power can go after the same gun, which results in a Dexterity contest.
  
• Rain of Fists (varies): Each point of Essence spent lets the attacker throw out another punch up to 5 Essence spent. Punches do regular damage and this power can’t be combined with other powers or combat moves, but the defender can only defend against as many attacks as they have actions to spare.
  
• Running the Gauntlet (3e/turn): Run as fast as you can while blind-firing at the enemy to give them -6 to hit you. Even if they do hit you, the damage has a -1 to its multiplier.
  
• Speak Nicely to Betsy (3e/attack): Attune your Chi to a specific signature weapon, giving you +2 to using it and hitting. This can be two weapons, but that doubles the cost of using both at once.
  
• Super Throw (varies): Fling the enemy up to Strength+Martial Arts in yards after a successful grab. This costs 1 point and additional points can be spent to increase the distance thrown by 1 yard. Damage dealt depends on where the victim lands, but the victim always lands prone (alive or dead).
  
• Trick Shot (varies): The GM determines the cost based on what the shooter wants to achieve and how unlikely it is that it could happen. Regardless of how ridiculous they are, there’s no penalty to the shot, just a price to pay. Examples the book uses: average shots (like shooting down a chandelier) is 1 point, challenging (opening a door by shooting the control panel) are 2, difficult (firing around a corner using ricochets) are 3 and near impossible (shooting another bullet out of the air) cost 5.
  
• Two-Fisted Firing (2e/turn): Dual-wield guns with no penalties to hit. The only restrictions are that each gun must be used against the same target and that recoil still applies if both guns are going to used to make multiple attacks.
  
• Wave of Chi (4e/wave): Bust out an AoE that hits anyone in front of you up to 3 yards away. This deals 1d4x2 damage automatically and forces a Strength check; if failed, you’re forced prone and are pushed back two yards.

• The core stats for the player character comes from a premade zombie template for the setting. Going to play a PHADE zombie? Use the PHADE zombie’s statblock. If the template doesn’t have Problem Solving or Long-Term Memory, add those on but increase the power level by 20 points.
  
• You now have 10 points to bump your Attributes up as you see fit. The limits of human maximums don’t apply but you still have to pay more to get a 5+ Attribute. Note: these 10 points also raise the power level by 10 automatically.
  
• Calculate Speed, Essence and Dead Points (only applies if they have All as a weak spot).
  
• Subtract the total Power Level from 90. The remaining points can be used on Skills, Qualities, Metaphysics and Zombie Aspects. The player can still choose to take up to 10 points of Drawbacks as well.
  
• Qualities: Any qualities or drawbacks that affect Endurance do nothing; they cost no points and they refund no points. Same thing applies to Recurring Nightmares. Hard to Kill does raise Dead Points, Increased Essence Pool does raise Essence and zombies can take any Supernatural quality they want.
  
• Skills: no change to skill prices, but some skills might be unfeasible or unusable due to the state of the body.
  
• Metaphysics: no real change here besides needing The Gift to be Inspired, be a Shooter or a Martial Artist.
  
• Aspects: okay, here’s where things get a little tricky. Zombies are limited to what they’re originally given from the template when it comes to base physical attributes. Any enhancements to those have to come from spending those 10 Attribute points. If you’re a breed of 90 Pound Weakling zombies, you can’t buy Monstrous Strength. That being said, you can buy Aspects that fall under Intelligence (being able to speak wasn’t included in the core intelligence boost, buy that) and you can buy Special Aspects (you may be a 90 Pound Weakling, but you’re immune to fire!). Cost of an Aspect is equal to its Power Level.
  
• Zombies don’t suffer any impairment (outside of losing parts) from Dead Point loss. That being said, once their DP hit 0, that’s it. Zombie Characters who are Important (like PCs) can regain Dead Points by eating more of their chosen sustenance than they need to. For every extra meal’s worth (as in, double what you’re supposed to eat) the zombie regains 4 Dead Points. If the zombie doesn’t need to eat (Who Needs Food?) but has a chosen thing they still draw power from, they regain 1 DP a minute as long as they’re exposed to it. If they’re not drawing power, they’re not healing.

• Bloody Mass (4): the zombie is capable of just collapsing into a puddle of goo, flesh and bones on a whim. It moves at half speed and is completely immune to all damage outside of fire, acid or explosives. It can slip through cracks and even remains cohesive in water. Bloody Mass can be used as a reflexive defensive action but requires two turns to reform.
  
• Bone Blade Kick (2): the bones of the foot are naturally fused into a sharp blade. When the zombie kicks, the flesh naturally retracts to expose the footblade before sliding back to cover it again. The kick now deals 1d6+(Strength+1) slashing damage.
  
• Bullet Sponge (2): Regardless of weak spot or they’re hurt by bullets, if the zombie is shot the flesh actually traps the bullet inside and keeps it for later use. The zombie’s weird biology creates new casings and powder for the bullets and they can push the perfectly usable rounds back out through their hands to use for later. Or, if the zombie has a gun attached to them, they can just feed the new bullets right back into the gun.
  
• Burrowing Finger (5): Using a regular melee attack (dealing 1d4xStrength damage), the zombie can jab a finger into an enemy…and then break it off inside of them. The finger still listens to the zombie and will burrow towards the heart or brain, moving 6 inches per round and dealing 1d6x2 damage per turn. When it reaches the target, the finger then deals 1d8x6 damage per round until the target dies. Absolutely lethal against a living target and very handy for going after the weaknesses of another zombie.
  
• Buzzsaw Torso (+4): After a successful grab, the ribs and bones of the chest/sternum warp at will and rip right through the zombie’s chest, spinning in a circle and using the ribs as teeth as the spine spins the sternum like a saw blade. The attack deals 1d12x4 slashing damage per turn and will seal back up when the zombie wants it to.
  
• Chi Suck (4): A successful grapple or bite allows the zombie to drain Essence from the victim and take it for themselves. This sucks 1d10x3 Essence per turn and the zombie can hold onto/spend this extra Essence for the next 24 hours or until they reach their resting level of Essence, whichever happens first.
  
• Crimson Spray (1): The zombie can, at will, spray gouts of blood up to three yards away and try to get it into an enemy’s eyes with a Dexterity test. If it hits, the blinded target has -3 to melee and -6 to ranged attacks. The big advantage is that this ability can be used in conjunction with another action without multiple action penalties. Sh-sh-shah, blood burst and a sucker punch!
  
• Decaying Bite (3): One of my favorite aspects due to how absolutely rude and nasty it is. The zombie has some kind of parasite or escharotic agent in its body that is harmful to living flesh (but not its own). A successful 4 damage bite turns the wound into a festering nest. The consumption spreads at a rate of 1 inch a minute and caused 1 point of damage a minute. Unless the victim gets the infected flesh cut out, cauterizes it or burns it with acid, they’ll die slowly of a thousand cuts. However, the treatment is often dangerous and will result in damage as well.
  
• Entrail Whip (2): The zombie can reach into its belly and casually rip out its small intestine to use it as a whip. The intestine is naturally shriveled and treated to be used in this way thanks to weird biology and deals no damage to remove. The whip can be used to grapple or deal 1d4x(Strength-1) damage. It’s mostly better to use it to grapple.
  
• Fighting Flying Head (3): The zombie’s head can detach at will and hover in the air at a rate of 3xSpeed. As long as the head can see the body, the body fights with no penalties and the head can actually assist the body with bites and headbutts. It’s -5 to hit the head and unless the head is the weak spot, any damage short of total destruction is ignored. To cap things off, this ability has unlimited range and duration. See what I mean by weird and overpowered? I love it!
  
• Fingerblades (1): Practically normal compared to these previous aspects, the zombie can extend the finger bones through the flesh to create 8 inch long claws that deal 1d4xStrength slashing damage.
  
• Flesh Fist (4): With a successful punch, the flesh warps on the hand and automatically grabs the opponent if the zombie wants to. The zombie can then bust out whatever throws, locks or follow-ups they want to on the same turn with no action penalties.
  
• Flesh Holster (1): The zombie has loose pockets of flesh that can be used to store weapons or other handy tools. They have innumerable pockets that can either hold something the size of a handgun or something long, thin and slim. The pockets only become visible when the zombie wants them to be, sealing the flesh perfectly and hiding the contents otherwise.
  
• Grasping Feet (5): The bones of the feet are loose enough to let them be prehensile. A successful kick can automatically grapple a target if the zombie wishes, opening up for grapple follow-ups on the same turn with no penalty.
  
• Hand-Gun (3/5): At its basic level, the zombie can force a stripped-down 9mm gun into the flesh of the hand, creating a big unwieldy mess of flesh and metal that can’t be used for anything but shooting. At its higher level, the gun melds more sophisticatedly with the hand, allowing it to be used and completely hiding the gun until the bullets start coming from the back of the zombie’s wrist. The Hand-Gun has eight shots and has to be reloaded by ripping back skin and taking a turn to reload or swallowing bullets and letting them naturally relocate in an hour. Alternately, take Bullet Sponge! Damage depends on the rounds loaded.
  
• Horns, Tusks and Spikes (2): The zombie is capable of manipulating their bones to emerge from their body with the speed and force of a switchblade and retract them at will. The limit is one large protrusion or two small ones and either increase the damage multiplier by 1 or give 1d10 damage if the attack wouldn’t hurt the opponent.
  
• In-Bodied Armor (6): For some reason the zombie has Kevlar or steel plates sewn into their flesh, generally around torso and legs. The armor can’t be removed but it also can’t be seen easily; the zombie just looks a little bulky. The armor’s value is (1d8x3)+18.
  
• Iron Shirt Body (3): Like the above but with Chi energy infusing the flesh of the zombie to help protect it from harm. However, Chi is not as durable as metal or Kevlar, meaning that the armor is 1d8+8 instead.
  
• Just A Flesh Wound (5): Regeneration is handy…but it doesn’t fix cosmetic decay and lost bits. JAFW is the answer to that. It only restores 2 DP a day but it lets the cosmetic blemishes and missing parts grow back, restoring the zombie to a more natural look. Check the table at the end of this for suggested durations.
  
• Mind Eating (3/level): A successful bite to the head means the zombie can attempt to suck the memories from the victim’s skull. For every success level over the victim’s resistance, the zombie can either get 1 level in a skill or one key fact from the victim’s brain. Eat the entire brain and you get 10 facts or skills. These gains last for days equal to the skill’s level or can be made permanent gains for 2 points per level.
  
• Melding (3): A truly grody ability that can be done when the zombie successfully grapples an opponent. The flesh of the zombie flows and becomes malleable and actually starts to stick and fuse to the victim’s skin (even slipping through fabric to make contact), trapping them in a grotesque hug and making both parties fall over. The zombie can then attack the trapped victim with a +4 bonus to hit. The victim is either freed if the zombie undoes the meld or can rip free with a Strength test, but if the test is successful both parties take 1d10x5 damage.
  
• My Body is a Deadly Weapon (2): The zombie is able to detach one of their limbs and wield it as a weapon. A detached arm deals 1d8xStrength damage and acts like a club. A detached leg counts as a big club, deals 1d10xStrength damage and can be used two-handed, but you have to move at half speed.
  
• Prehensile Hair (3): With hair as strong as garrote wire, the zombie can use it as a third limb and hide a weapon in it to attack people. Hair can use melee weapons or throw them but has -2 Strength compared to the zombie’s core Strength (down to Strength 1). More importantly, the hair gives the zombie an extra attack action per turn.
  
• Ribs of Doom (3): The ribs of the zombie emerge and bite into the flesh of the victim, acting on a successful grapple and dealing 1d4xStrength damage. The zombie is then free to use their hands as they see fit and the ribs will continue to deal 1d4x(Strength-1) damage per turn. It’s great for making human shields if you need both hands for your guns.
  
• Shifting Bones (3/5): The zombie is able to shift their skeleton around beneath their skin to act as extra armor on a Willpower test, creating reactive spikes in addition to providing armor. An unarmed attack against the zombie deals no damage and inflicts 1d4+attacker’s Strength damage back at the attacker. A melee weapon provides (1d8x2)+8 armor. The higher level of this power allows protection against bullets.
  
• Shot-Arms (4): An upgraded version of Hand-Gun, Shot-Arms involves forcing a stripped-down shotgun into the zombie’s arm. The gun is completely hidden and the arm remains completely functional, but the shotgun can only fire one round before needing to be reloaded (also it comes out of the palm and might deal 1 damage depending on weak points). Reloading takes two rounds or one hour if they eat the shells. Or, y’know, take Bullet Sponge. Damage depends on the rounds loaded.
  
• Shuriken Nails (1): The zombie’s fingernails and toenails are detachable and razor-sharp, giving them 20 projectiles that deal 1d4xStrength slashing damage against enemies. If recovered, they just click back into place. If lost and the zombie can regenerate, they grow back over 48 hours.
  
• Snake’s Spine Lung (2/4): The zombie’s spine extends and the head rockets forward up to four yards away to attack with bites or headbutts before retracting. Just flick the switch on the action figure’s back to see a demo! At higher levels, the spine is strong enough to swing the zombie’s head like a flail, dealing 1d10xStrength damage. Because of how rapid and weird this attack is, the opponent gets -4 to defend against the first attack and -2 against the second, especially if they think they’re out of range. Using this ability counts as an attack.
  
• Spying Eyes (2): The zombie can remove an eye and let it fly away into the air up to Willpowerx10 yards away at the zombie’s normal speed. The zombie is capable of seeing (and, somehow, hearing) through that eye as long as they focus on it, but they can’t use both eyes at the same time. Better for PC use than enemy use.
  
• Strength in Numbers (6): Taking a little bit of a cue from toku/sentai, up to five zombies that have SIN can combine their bodies into one mega beast. This takes one minute per zombie. The first zombie forms the basis of the stats and each additional zombie integrated can add +1 to each of base zombie’s physical stats. Alternately, the conglomeration can choose to forgo one of the stat bonuses and instead make the monster manifest another pair of legs or arms. Each extra set of arms gives the zombie one additional attack and defense per turn without penalty, each extra pair of legs gives two extra kick attacks per turn but slows the zombie’s move speed by 2 points. So a full five zombie conglomeration could have +5 Strength, +5 Dexterity and +5 Constitution, or could have +5 Strength, +5 Dexterity and five extra arms, or etc.
  
• Sword-Arm (2/4): The bladed equivalent of putting a gun in your arm or knives in your feet, the Sword-Arm comes in two forms. The basic form is that the flesh is stripped away from one arm and the bones have fused into a natural blade. The enhanced form means that the flesh remains and retracts when the zombie wants to be seen. Either way, the blade deals 1d8xStrength damage.
  
• Theft of the Body (5): The zombie is able to repurpose body parts it takes from the living (specifically severed limbs) and attaching it wherever they want. Extra arms offer one free attack or defense if they’re positioned where they can reach the opponent and extra legs offer an extra kick but with -1 to Speed. Limbs stolen in this fashion function perfectly well wherever they’ve been attached, but the bond only lasts for one hour before the additional limb drops off.
  
• Trapping Flesh (3): Trapping Flesh means that zombie is really just half gelatinous and held together with force of will (making it the most logical extension to all of the grappling abilities that have come before it). Any close combat attacks against the zombie will still do damage but then immediately get stuck in the zombie’s body, requiring the hand, fist or weapon be pulled loose in a contest of Strength vs. zombie Constitution. The zombie, of course, can let the trapped object go free at any time but why would it? It’s still able to act normally and do whatever and now the food is stuck to it.
  
• Turret Torso (1): Something has made the zombie’s spine all limber and loose, letting it turn a full 360 degrees with no problem. This is a major blessing for a zombie with a gun because what it means is that it can run and gun at the same time with no penalty, or it can stand still and gain +2 to shooting because hand, eye and gun can follow its target without having to adjust its positioning and stance. Hell, the zombie can run forwards and turn its chest 180 degrees to shoot backwards with no penalty.
  
• Undead Flexibility (3): The zombie’s joints get nice and loose as well, giving all of its joints and connection points the ability to rotate 360 degrees with no problems. The zombie gets +1 Dexterity thanks to this along with gaining +3 to resisting locks, grabs, throws and doing Escape Artist things. The zombie can also squirm through any opening big enough to fit their body mass through (as long as it remains intact), like a bathroom window, storm drain or doggy door.
  
• Venous Defense (2): When you don’t need blood, this opens your veins up to do weird and wacky things to pass the time. The veins poke out of the body like three inches of sharp, bristly fur, giving the zombie 1d6+1 body armor. The veins also come into play when the zombie grapples, automatically dealing 1d6x2 slashing damage.
  
• Wall Crawling (2): Kind of tame at this point, but the zombie’s got a mixture of flexibility and sticky fingers that let it climb or move across any surface with no issues.
  
• Whirling Cyclone Kick (3): The WCK is the kung-fu use of having a 360 Crazy Spine, making the lower body spin like a top as the upper torso remains stationary and still. The zombie builds speed and will continue to balance on one foot and move normally, one leg kicking around in a constant circle until the zombie wants it to stop or the leg hits something. The kick deals 1d10xStrength damage, but the WCK needs to spin for one round in order to have sufficient momentum to do damage.
