Human Features
Hands: FullA hand with a fully opposable thumb. Perfectly functional for all kinds of tool and weapon manipulation, but it may have a different number of digits (more or less), or be shaped in a very non-human way. No penalties for the use of tools, weapons or skills. Equal to human.
(Source: After the Bomb pg23)
Biped: FullThis is a fully human bipedal stance. The character has the same unlimited movement as a normal, athletic human.
(Source: After the Bomb pg24)
Speech: FullSophisticated vocal cords equal to that of most humans. Character can learn singing, imitating voices and ventriloquism.
(Source: After the Bomb pg 23)
Looks: PartialThese characters look vaguely human and can pass for human in a bad light. Extreme features like heavy fur, long snouts and pointed ears are all reduced but definitely noticeable. At night, the character can pass for human if disguised in clothes that cover up the animal features. Anyone getting a good look will take the character for an intelligent half-man, half-animal.
Shifter Mice, in their natural state, appear to be small, chubby, humanoids, with huge, round mouse ears, pink mouse eyes, and a cute little pointed snout with whiskers.
They have four fingers on each hand, and their feet have two outside toes on each side, with a central, oversized, big toe.

Shifters are innately attuned to dimensions and dimensional energies. After only a few minutes of concentration (typically 1D6+2 minutes), they are able to tell the type of dimension (Infinite, Parallel, or Pocket), the strength of the dimensional fabric (weak, permeable, strong, or impenetrable), if the dimension world can support human life, whether it is rich or poor in magic, if it is artificially created (like a Pocket Dimension made by a Dragon or a God), and any type of unusual characteristics that might be evident, all just by “reading” a connecting Rift/dimensional portal or by meditating shortly after arriving in a new world.
At a -10% skill penalty and only allowed if the player indicates what they are rolling for before the reading, they can also determine approximately when the portal will close, if it was opened deliberately or if it’s a random occurrence (and if it is random, how frequently it opens into this particular world; often, seldom, rarely), if there are any dimensional anomalies that may be attached to the portal, and if any dimensionally spanning monsters or demons are in or near the Rift.
If not initially successful, it can be tried again after 24 hours or immediately if they set foot in the new world.)
Note: Can be used during combat to sense if a dimension type spell is cast. Costs one melee action per round (up to 1 full minute in subsequent rounds/level.) A successful roll means they easily detect and locate any dimensional type spells used (including a Teleport, the opening of portals, etc.) for the duration of that round. Additionally, if the magic is detected, they can attempt to alter the course of the spell for the original cost of P.P.E. (it cannot be canceled, only shifted to change the location of a portal, where it leads to, close it prematurely, or to make it stay open longer.) This requires both casters to roll 1D20, high roll wins, and in the case of a tie, the defender wins. If the attempt is unsuccessful, the Shifter still spends half the original cost of the spell in P.P.E. and does not alter it. 63%

COMBAT
Hand-to-Hand: Assassin
Attacks Per Round: 7+6 from H2H: Assassin
+1 from Boxing
WP Paired Weapons
Initiative: +3+2 from H2H: Assassin
+1 from WP Quickdraw
Perception: +0
Body Block/TackleThis is a combination of moves that involves a body block and a knockdown attack (counts as two melee attacks). A successful body block strike does I D4 damage plus P.S. damage bonuses, and the opponent is likely to be knocked down. A successful strike always inflicts damage (from a shoulder, elbow, or tucked head), unless his opponent dodges (no damage and no knockdown), but the victim who is hit can avoid being knocked down only by trying to maintain his balance; roll percentile dice, characters with no special balancing abilities must roll above 80% or be knocked down. Those with a special balancing ability like those from Acrobatics or Gymnastics must roll under their current skill level (if 45% they must roll under 45, if 80% they must roll under 80). A successful maintain balance means the victim is not knocked down but loses one melee attack, and takes full damage.
Being knocked down causes the character struck to lose initiative (if he had it) and one attack/action for that melee round, plus he is knocked 1 D6 feet away from where he was standing at the moment of the attack. A roll with impact can reduce damage by half, but counts as one melee action.: 1d4+8
Body Flip/ThrowA judo style throw or flip that uses an attacker's own momentum and leverage to "flip" or "throw" him off his feet and onto the ground. Damage is 1D6 points plus P.S. damage bonus (if any), and the victim also loses initiative (if he had it) and one melee attack. A body flip counts as one melee attack. A victim of a throw can try to roll with impact/fall to diminish the damage (half if successful), but other penalties are unchanged.: 1d4+8
ChokeSimply, a grab attack to a victim's throat. Normal strike and damage bonuses apply. Once a choke is made, assuming the defender failed to dodge or parry, the attacker can continue applying it indefmitely, doing ID6 damage, plus P.S. bonus, directly to Hit Points, for every one of the attacker's melee attacks. The victim of a choke can attack with punches, weapons, or knee attacks (but no kicks), for as long as they are held. A disarm move can be used to break the choke hold.
Two-Handed Choke. Both hands must be used, and the attacker is unable to defend, dodge or roll with impact, during a choke. In other words, the attacker just stands there and ignores all other attacks. Critical or Knockout/Stun attacks from the rear can easily be done to someone doing a two-handed Choke.
One-Handed Choke. If the attacker is a lot bigger than the defender, at least four Size Levels larger, then it is possible to do a choke one-handed. During a one-handed choke the attacker has a hand free for other attacks and defences, but does so with a -4 to strike or parry.
Getting Out of a Choke. One way out is by brute strength. The victim and anyone attempting to help the victim, can all try to pull or push the strangler off the victim. Whoever has the greater combined strength wins (add the P.S. of anyone trying to help the victim to the victim's for a "combined" strength effort). Another way is to us a "disarm" move. The victim rolls to strike and disarm (in this case, break the attacker's hold), high roll wins. A failed disarm means the choke continues. The only other way out is to either convince the attacker to let go, or pummelling the attacker into letting go, unconsciousness, or death.: 1d4+8
Crush/SqueezeThis is a "bear hug" where the attacker grabs the victim and squeezes, doing damage from raw strength. Normal Strike and Damage bonuses apply. Once a Crush is made, assuming the defender failed to parry or dodge, the attacker can continue applying it indefinitely, doing I D4 damage, plus P.S. bonus, directly to Hit Points, for every one of the attacker's melee round actions. The victim of a crush/squeeze can attack with punches or weapons (no kicks or leg attacks), but without any P.S. damage bonuses, for as long as they are held.
Natural Twenty. When the attacker strikes with a Crush/Squeeze and gets a Natural Twenty, it means that the victim's arms will also be caught in the bear hug. If this happens the victim is completely helpless, and unable to attack or resist in any way. Only outside help can break this crushing attack.
Two-Handed Crush. Both hands must be used, and the attacker is unable to defend, dodge or roll, for as long as the crush/squeeze continues. In other words, the attacker just stands there and ignores all other attacks. Critical or knockout/stun attacks from the rear can easily be done to someone doing a two-handed crush (or choke for that matter).
One-Handed Crush. If the attacker is a lot bigger than the defender, at least seven Size Levels larger, then it is possible to do a Crush one-handed. During a one-handed Crush the attacker has the other hand free for attacking and defending, but always with a -4 to strike or parry.
Getting Out of a Crush/Sgueeze. One way out is by brute strength. The victim and anyone attempting to help the victim, can all try to break the crusher's hold and pull or push him off
the victim. Who ever has the greater combined strength wins (add the P.S. of anyone trying to help the victim to the victim's for a "combined" strength effort). Crushing (supernatural) P.S. will always beat any other strength even if it is 12 points less. The only other way out is to either convince the attacker to let go, or pummelling the attacker into letting go (does not want to sustain any more damage), or into unconsciousness or death.: 1d4+8
Karate Kick: 2d6+8
Karate Punch: 2d4+8
Power KickCan be used with any kick or leg strike (but not Leaps or Jumps), doing double damage + P.S. bonus, but counts as two melee round actions .: 4d6+8
Power PunchCan be used with any hand strike, doing double damage +P.S. bonus, but counts as two melee attacks.: 4d4+8
Offensive Bonuses
DisarmThe act of disarming is simply getting rid of the opponent's weapon; it does no damage. It can be used as a defensive move in place of a dodge or parry, or can be done as an attack/strike.
The disarm move is a strike, hold or grappling maneuverer that causes an opponent to drop his weapon or whatever he's holding. Counts as one melee attack/action. Disarm does not give the weapon to the character making the disarm move. True, the item is forced out of the victim's grasp, but it is either knocked away or falls to the ground.
Typically an opponent is disarmed on a roll of a natural 19 or 20 when used as a defensive move. Roll a disarming strike to attack as usual high roll wins. A failed disarming attack does no damage and means one's opponent remains armed, is probably mad, and ready to strike.: +2+2 from HTH: Assessin's bonus to strike.

+1 from P.P
EntangleA defender can attempt to trap the weapon or arm
of an attacker. This is done instead of parrying or dodging and takes up one attack per melee round. Entangle is successful if the defender rolls above the attacker's strike roll. It takes one attack to entangle. An entangled opponent must use his next attack (strike) to break free while the entangler tries to hold on (works like a parry to maintain hold) or can allow his opponent to break free and immediately attack or take some other action.: +0
