*Improvisational Alchemist: STILL BEING TWEAKED. Currently reads: +1 to create an advantage with or overcome with Alchemy under unfavorable conditions, such as during a dinner party, a bar-fight, a card game, or any other situation in which it would be difficult to explain one’s actions. (Effectively reduces penalties for doing Alchemy in unlikely circumstances, and gives narrative permission to try such shenanigans at all.)
*Improvisational Alchemist: RECENT REVISION. Ladon is adept at making alchemy checks in unconventional situations, such as during a dinner party, a bar-fight, a card game. Also, once per issue, he may spend a fate point to declare that an accessible and otherwise innocuous item is just the thing to suit his alchemical needs.

**Armor: 2: I’d like to make this work less like Colossus’s metal skin, and more like Wolverine’s ability to take a lot of punishment and keep going, but I’m not yet sure how.

**The difficulty of all overcome actions to allow Ladon to begin recovery are reduced by 2, provided he has access to sunlight, water, and soil. **Possible costs could involve slowing his recovery by denying him access to sunlight, water, and soil. REMINDER: Cost does not have to be the same each time.
**Healing factor: Once per scene, spend a fate point to reduce one of Ladon's consequences by one degree of severity (severe to major, major to mild, mild to nothing), but at a cost. (REMINDER: Cost does not have to be the same each time. Costs are always at the discretion of the GM, but narratively could involve Ladon's plant-like nature, such as requiring access to sunlight, water, and soil.)
