Unnatural Contortion
Protean ••••, Resilience •
By concentrating for one turn, the Gangrel can literally bend and manipulate his body in unwholesome ways: legs over shoulders, joints going the wrong way, back of head touching the spine, and so forth. Some Savages use this to freak out the kine. Others use it to escape bonds or wriggle into spaces normally too small for them – an air duct, beneath a low-hanging bed, through a cellar window.
Effect
Every success on the roll can apply toward the reduction of the Gangrel’s Size score (to a minimum of Size 2, about the approximate Size of a 4-year-old human child) or can instead go toward any rolls made to escape bonds.
Note that Size reduction is artificial, not the literal shrinking of the body. Bones may pop out of shape and allow the Gangrel to scrunch up or rearrange his “natural” form, but he doesn’t actually lose mass. In this way, the Gangrel does not change any stats based on the Size score, such as Health.
