Description

With his fearsome gaze, Italian Spiderman can render his enemies helpless or even turn a normal tarantula into an instrument of slaughter.

Italian Spiderman’s gaze can fix a target in place with fear. Italian Spiderman must succeed an Intimidation check (DC 11) as a standard action. If successful, Italian Spiderman makes a ranged attack check against his target. A hit character must make a Will resistance check with a DC equal to Italian Spiderman’s Intimidation check result (up to 18). If this check fails, the target is dazed. The target is stunned instead if it fails by two degrees or paralyzed with three or more degrees of failure.

This ability has different (alternate) effects on some animals and human women. Italian Spiderman must succeed an Intimidation check (DC 11) as a standard action. If successful, the subject transforms into an empowered version with 15 character points per point by which Italian Spiderman’s Intimidation check exceeds 10 (up 120 character points with a result of 18 or higher).

If Italian Spiderman can see a normal spider that is not hostile to him, his gaze can compel it to join his cause AND to fight like Italian Spiderman! The spider temporarily gains new traits, leaps to the nearest open space (in relation to Italian Spiderman) and acts on its own initiative starting on the round after Italian Spiderman transforms it. The spider automatically has a helpful attitude and does its best to aid Italian Spiderman and obey his commands, usually to kill.

If the spider is incapacitated while under Italian Spiderman’s control, it loses all of its altered abilities and helpful altitude (essentially becoming a normal spider again) before scuttling away with a healthy respect for Italian Spiderman and a taste for human blood.

Lo Sguardo Mortale can also transform a normal chicken into a chicken capable of laying eggs on command or laying cigarettes instead of eggs. The chicken gains no language or speaking ability but it does gain the Animal Empathy advantage allowing it to use its Insight skill to understand Italian Spiderman’s body language and gestures. 

Finally, Lo Sguardo Mortale can transform a normal attractive pussycat into a floozy with enhanced Stamina, Expertise in the arts of love and an appetite for romance second only to that of Italian Spiderman.
