ours the appearance of the Glyphs he manifests. Players can choose to add a minor tweak for each Glyph when it is learnt
and use that trapping every time the Glyph is manifested. For example, an Ebon creating a light source can make it a
brightly coloured ball of light or even have the light come from his eyes, projector style. These effects can only change
when an Ebon or Brain Waster ‘evolves’ into a Necanthrope.
Gore Cannon effects are disturbing, and don’t look even remotely like Glyphs from the ‘natural’ affinities, and their
glyphs should follow a similar theme. For example, a Bolt created by a Necanthrope touched by insanity might look like
a spectral screaming skull while Entangle could look like hideous black roots emerging from the asphalt to grab their
victim.
Armour By channelling flux into his deathsuit, the Ebb User makes it tougher.
Barrier The Ebon manipulates air molecules to create an invisible wall.
Blast Kinetic force affects area in a grenade-like explosion.
Bolt Kinetic force created by Ebon is sent towards his enemies, like a giant, invisible sledgehammer.
Boost Trait The body’s cells to become tougher, stronger or faster.
Burst Fire erupts from the Ebon’s open palm.
Deflect The Ebon’s deathsuit hardens at the last split-second, protecting him from harm.
Entangle Invisible bonds form around the target.
Fear A frightening image is planted in the target’s mind.
Fly By hardening its molecules, the Ebon can walk on air.
Greater Healing Must touch the bare skin of a wounded person for the Glyph to succeed.

Invisibility The Ebb User manipulates the light and shadow to make himself completely invisible.
Light A source of light is created, emitting from somewhere on the Ebon’s body (often the palm).
Lower Trait The Ebb User disrupts a target’s nerve centres for a brief period of time.
Obscure The Ebb User manipulates the light sources in the area to create pitch darkness.
Puppet Must achieve eye contact with the Glyph’s target to initiate an opposed roll.

Advancement
Ebb Users have the potential to be incredibly powerful.
Their glyphs cost nothing to use and allow them to do things
other characters cannot achieve even with the most advanced
technology, they have access to a vast array of useful edges
and still get access to all the goodies mundane characters do.
However, while they have many unique options available
to them, Ebb Users have to buy with edges many things other
characters can stump up cold hard credits for, and many of
those edges have several tiers of prerequisites. This can lead
to high rank characters not having as many glyphs or advan-
tages as their experience might suggest.

options allowed to them, generous-feeling GMs may wish

The same can apply to Guts rolls. When players get squicky,
so should their characters.
Keeping Things Moving

There’s more to Savage Worlds than streamlined rules.
While we’ve tried to trim down the pulp a little, Savage
World’s catchphrase – “Fast! Fun! Furious!” – works just
great with SLA Industries. With all the toys available to SLA
operatives, fights can provide fantastic, tactical enjoyment.
Take bennies. Not only do they give players extra options,
they’re a built-in failsafe for GMs. As long as players have a
few left, you don’t have to worry too much about the exact
numbers of adversaries you throw at them. If it’s a tough
fight, they’ll just have to spend a few bennies.
This can cause difficulties, of course. The World of Progress
is not an empowering place and there are some times you’ll
want to slow the pace. In these cases, the mechanics are also
your friend. Use Guts checks, Stress rolls, armour damage
and cash flow to make players think twice about what they’re
doing.
And if that’s not enough, don’t forget the SLA GMs two
secret weapons: Cloak Division and D-Notices.

Sunlight Sensitive
Some creatures have evolved so long in the depths of
Lower Downtown, the sewers and other dark places that
they can no longer function under even Mort’s weak sun-
light.
They are automatically fatigued while exposed to sun-
light or artificial lighting (-1 to all rolls). Especially bright
artificial lighting increases this penalty to -2.
Additionally, the Sunlight Sensitive denizens of Mort
are at -2 when resisting the effects of blast/concussion
grenades.
