THE SLEEPER SCHEMER (Background):

Your eyes are filled with artificial cells that activate when you Lie to reality or any other time you wish. When this happens, your eyes become black and seem to display the various vital signs of the person who is the target of your Lie.

As a Sleeper Schemer, you can scan a person that you can affect and learn their strengths and weaknesses without needing to make a roll. Your implants serve as communicators, translators, and data storage devices. Nanomachines in your blood and tissues allow you to remove one Injury Die for every ten minutes of rest.

Advancements

REPTILE SKIN (3 story points) — You’re always treated as armored (when resisting Injury, Almost results count as success). Further, it gives you Harmony with all rolls to resist Injury other than those from the Stress of Lying.

AFFECT MULTIPLE PEOPLE (COST: 4 STORY POINTS) Normally, a Schemer can affect only one person at a time. However, you can affect two people at a time with the same Lie. You can select this Advancement multiple times, each time adding another person to the maximum number of people you can affect. Experienced Schemers can affect a whole crowd at once!

ANIMAL INFLUENCE (COST: 3 STORY POINTS) Animals that you can see and that can see you within about 100 feet (30 m) are calm or agitated, as you desire (they all must be one or the other). You don’t control their actions, and they act according to their nature. An agitated dog might growl and bite. An agitated rabbit will run away.

MIND TALKING (TELEPATHY) (COST: 3 STORY POINTS) With this Advancement, you can speak and hear only with your mind. The other person (or people) must be within about 100 feet (30 m), but you don’t need to be able to see them. You can’t hear someone’s “mental speech” unless they want you to.

LONGER RANGE (COST: 3 STORY POINTS) Normally, a Schemer can affect people up to about 100 feet (30 m) away, but you can affect them at a distance of 200 feet (60 m). You can select this Advancement multiple times, each time adding about 100 feet to your range.
