Special cells in your skin can change color to help you blend in with your environment. You gain a +2 item bonus to Stealth checks to Sneak and Hide.


Activate—Background Adaptation 2 (concentrate)

Frequency once per hour

Effect For 1 minute, you can Hide without needing cover or concealment to do so. This doesn't allow you to Sneak without ending your movement in cover or concealment, however, as your skin's attempts to match the background as you move produce noticeable rippling waves of color.


Trait Effects

Graft: An item that has the graft trait is a living tissue sample that has been implanted into a host. It’s permanently a part of the subject’s body and reduces the number of items that creature can invest per day by 1. Each graft has the invested trait to indicate this limitation—a graft is like an invested item that the host creature has no choice but to invest. If a creature gets a new graft when their limit on invested items has already been reduced to zero, the host body rejects the graft. Once fully implanted, a graft cannot take damage separately. If a graft is ever severed from the host body, it can be reattached by any effect that can typically reattach limbs or organs, such as the _regenerate_ spell. A grafter can remove a grant using the same process required to implant one, though this does not necessarily restore any organs replaced by the graft initially. Grafts typically require specialized storage conditions, such as alchemical tanks, to remain viable outside of a host. Grafts can usually be upgraded into their greater versions by having a grafter apply additional surgeries, mutagenic development, or similar medical procedures.

Invested: A character can invest only 10 magical items that have the invested trait. None of the magical effects of the item apply if the character hasn’t invested it, nor can it be activated, though the character still gains any normal benefits from wearing the physical item (like a hat keeping rain off their head).

Magical: Something with the magical trait is imbued with magical energies not tied to a specific tradition of magic. Some items or effects are closely tied to a particular tradition of magic. In these cases, the item has the arcane, divine, occult, or primal trait instead of the magical trait. Any of these traits indicate that the item is magical.
