Thanks, I'm glad you like it. The Magnitude-based calculations were sort of off-the-cuff, and could probably use some fiddling around with to make sure the Deviation is doing what it's intended to do. As far as Subtle Variations go, they might be represented by subdermal organs or just parts small enough to escape casual notice (Aquatic might take the form of a thin set of gills that to the untrained just come off as neck wrinkles, for instance, or Telepathy a cranial lump that looks like a cyst).

I've got one more I'm going to add to the post, but I'm still tinkering with the exact...

Some more Standard Deviations:

Short-Range

Scar Type: Any

All entangled Variations must be Directed for a Scar to take this Deviation.

+1 Magnitude: All entangled Variations have their range halved to 5/10/20.

+2 Magnitude: All entangled Variations have a maximum range of 1 meter/yard.


Embodied Variation

Scar Type: Any

+1 Magnitude: The Variations entangled with the Scar are connected to a specific body part or organ. A Chimeric's Telekinesis might take the form of a long, flexible tentacle,...
