My group's on a quest to get Hippolyta's girdle. Something about a descendant of Herakles pissing off some Amazons. But knowing them, they'll probably try to use it, which means I have to stat it up. Please critique:
Hippolyta’s Girdle [-4]
Description: You possess the golden girdle of Hippolyta, the Amazon’s greatest queen. Beware, the changes it enables can fracture your identity and corrupt your sense of self.
Musts: Only women may wear the girdle.
Skills Affected: Varies.
Effects:
Like a Greek Goddess. You may take on an alternate form as a supplemental action by inflicting a 2-stress mental hit on yourself. You become taller, more beautiful, more powerfully and athletically built, and youthful. When in this form, you have Inhuman Strength (YS183) and Inhuman Speed (YS178).
Honest Report. It is important for the leader of a warrior people to get honest intel from her subordinates. Once per scene, for a fate point, the wearer of the girdle may compel a target to tell the truth. The target is unable to lie, but may still deceive through omission or technical truths.
Skills of an Amazon. The wearer of the Girdle gains the skills of an Amazon when using the Like a Greek Goddess effect. For most women, this makes them highly skilled warriors. You may shuffle around your skills (as the Skill Shuffle effect of Beast Change on YS174), as long as you maintain two of the following skills in your highest tier: Might, Endurance, Weapons, Fists, Archery (Guns).
Human Form. When not using the Like a Greek Goddess effect, you’re just a regular woman. You do not have access to Inhuman Strength, Inhuman Speed, or the Skills of an Amazon effect. You may still use the Armor of the Gods effect below, however.
Armor of the Gods. The Girdle can draw upon the power of Olympus to protect its wearer, but controlling such energies taxes the mortal mind. You may boost your Armor Rating by inflicting a mental stress hit upon yourself, gaining +2 Armor for each point of stress in the hit. The bonus cannot exceed the total number of stress boxes in your mental stress track and lasts until the beginning of your next turn.
Total Recovery. While wearing the Girdle, you’re able to recover from physical harm that would leave a normal person permanently damaged. You can recover totally from any consequence—excluding extreme physical ones—with no other excuse besides time; simply waiting long enough will eventually heal you completely.
Unbreakable. As an Item of Power, it cannot be broken, save through dedicated magical ritual predicated upon perverting its purpose.
It’s Armor. The Girdle is a wide golden bronze belt forged in Hephaestus’ smithy. It provides Armor 1 against physical attacks.
Discount Already Applied. As an Item of Power, the Girdle already includes the one-time discount (YS167). This means that if you possess more than one Item of Power, the one-time discount will not apply on that second item. If the Hippolyta’s Girdle is the second or subsequent artifact the you gain, the refresh cost is −6.
Yes, basically it'll make someone Wonder Woman.
