Special Abilities

• +2 to scent-based notice checks (Racial) - Notice: For 2 points, the character has a +2 bonus when using a particular skill (this may only be taken once per skill).
• Aquatic (Racial): Moves full Pace while swimming, compatible with Pace upgrades.
• Bad Reputation - SharkMen are predators and many of them are also assholes (Racial): The society or species is known for its terrible deeds, brutality, thievery, or other reprehensible behavior. If a nonplayer character knows the reputation or is scared by it, and doesn't know the hero's better nature, his Reaction starts at Unfriendly (see Reactions in Savage Worlds). For –2 points, such Reactions start at Hostile. Concerned locals might alert the authorities, taunt to provoke the hero, or even attack out of fear and ignorance. If the character's initial Reaction is already penalized (as with D-Bees or Mutants, below) it starts one or two steps lower, respectively. If already Hostile, an immediate social skill check is required to avoid violence.
• Big Bitey Mouth - Counts as claws, except uses free bite with grapple mechanic (Racial): The race has claws that cause Str+d4 damage (this stacks with Edges like Bruiser or Martial Artist). They never count as an Unarmed Defender (page 108), add +2 to Athletics (climbing) rolls, and may climb at their full Pace.
• Edge (Racial) - Martial Artist: Gain one Edge, ignoring all Rank requirements.
• Environmental Resistance - Resistance to Cold +4/-4 (Racial): The species receives a +4 bonus to resist a single negative environmental effect, such as heat, cold, lack of air, radiation, etc. This also counts as Armor against attacks based on that element or effect.
• Inhuman Physiology - Well really it depends on which half you're asking about (Racial): The species has unique physiology, causing problems for those unfamiliar with their biology, and medical supplies or cybernetics designed for human use. For 2 points the race has Alien Physiology giving a –2 penalty to Healing and cybernetics checks. Juicer and Crazy augmentations don’t work for this race. Compatible medical supplies/services and cybernetics cost double the listed price.
• Low Light Vision - Only works in dim lighting (not dark) on land, but works in pitch dark underwater (Racial): The being ignores penalties for Dim or Dark lighting (but not Pitch Darkness).
• Mutant - Of course! But you've seen far worse than this guy. (Racial): Similar to D-Bee above, mutants are spurned by many humans but the reaction is more often disgust than hostility. Even when accepted as members of human society they are often not welcome in the highest social circles and may have difficulty fully pursuing romantic and professional relationships. Many human communities that accept D-Bees still find human mutants off-putting, in these cases their Reaction starts at Uncooperative.
• Non-Standard Build - Fitting the head into helmets is the challenge (Racial): For 2 points, the race is −2 on Trait rolls to use equipment designed for humans (including weapons or vehicles). Custom armor, clothing, and equipment costs triple the listed price.
• Pace +2 - Swimming only (Racial): Running die is upgraded by a die type (to a maximum of d12) and gains +2 Pace each time this upgrade is taken.
• Pace +2 - Swimming only (Racial): Running die is upgraded by a die type (to a maximum of d12) and gains +2 Pace each time this upgrade is taken.
• Restricted Path (Racial): Cannot use ISP or any Arcane Background that uses it
• Size +1 - Burly Shark do do do do do do (Racial): The creature is larger than normal. Each point of Size adds directly to Toughness. Large species may have difficulty using equipment designed for more traditional humanoids. See page 105 for more on Size.
