Proboscis

COST: 5 KARMA

The character possesses an prehensile nose or elephantine trunk instead of a typical nose and upper lip. This is even more versatile than the Functional Tail(Prehensile Tail) (p. 115, RF). It can be used for small manipulations or even a blunt punch using the Exotic Melee Weapon (Trunk) skill (DV (STR – 1)P, Reach —, AP +1). Apply a –2 dice pool modifier to any attempt to manipulate an object with the trunk. It has an effective Strength equal to the character’s unaugmented Strength. Trunks do not provide an extra attack. Characters with a proboscis suffer modifiers to social interaction (see Freaks sidebar, p. 123, RF).
