With this power, a Gorgon can transform her flesh into firm, shining scales sturdy enough to protect her from harm. These scales grant temporary armor, shedding and flaking away soon after they form.
Cost: 1 Vitae per scene
Dice Pool: Strength + Animal Ken + Amphivena
Action: Instant
If the roll is successful, the Gorgon grows scales over the course of her turn. They rise up and break free of her flesh like a peeling burn, hardened and crusted with blood. These scales grant the Gorgon armor (Rating: 3, Defense: –1) against all physical attacks except fire. Each success of fire damage destroys one point of the armor’s Rating in addition to damaging the Gorgon as usual (the armor is a part of her, after all).
