•••• Rubber Skin
Freaks who have mastered The Show to this degree are able to not only contort their bodies in unusual ways, but can actually compress and stretch their bodies into shapes that are downright grotesque. Rubber Skin permits the Freak to literally squeeze through a narrow pipe, reach across a 10-foot space to grab a set of keys and even pass through the narrow space under a closed door. During the transformation, the Freak’s body defi es its normal spatial limitations and can be forced to adjust to the wishes of its owner.
Effect
Dramatic Failure: The effort to alter her body is so great that the Freak is overcome by exhaustion, which makes any further physical activity severely diffi cult. For the remainder of the scene, the Freak suffers a –3 penalty to all dice pools that involve a physical Attribute (though a successful use of Geek Trick, above, will abate this for a time).
Failure: No effect.
Success and Exceptional Success: The Freak is able to coax her body into changing as desired, allowing her to compress or stretch as needed. The change lasts only a single scene or until the Freak chooses to return to her normal form, whichever comes first. She may alter her body to such a degree that she is able to do the following things, depending on her success.
Limits of Body Change Feat | Success | Exceptional Success
Squeeze into cylindrical shape | 8” diameter | 2” diameter
Squeeze under obstacle | 4” space | 1” space
Stretch body | 100% increase in length | 300%increase in length

Applied Restriction
Note that none of these applications of Rubber Skin change the Freak’s weight, though the Freak may choose to alter her density. A 350-pound behemoth who invokes Rubber Skin to shrink herself down to a twoinch- by-one-foot cylinder still weighs 350 pounds.
