Thickened blood by Iczer

“Hmm…I guess blood IS thicker than water……Much thicker”

The character’s blood has the consistency of tree sap, molasses or chilled honey. In any case, his metabolism, and vascular system has adapted to cope, leaving the character with the following benefits:

Heavier than normal. Weighs 20-30% more than normal.
His adapted heart and lungs work with greater power and efficiency. Can hold his breath for 15 seconds per PE point. Tires at half rate.
+2 PE
+15 SDC
+2 PS
Hardened body resists blunt impacts, taking ½ damage from blunt force trauma.
Does not bleed. More precisely, the thickened blood clots quickly and gums up in any exposed wounds.
Thickened blood has more resistance to blood borne toxins and diseases. Take twice as long to onset (or 2 melee’s if onset time is instantaneous) and the character has +4 to resist them.
