Should be revised or replaced to better fit character lore
Defender of Humanity (Current x5 to raise) The Defender of Humanity uses his abilities by attuning himself to the suffering of humanity. Using any of these abilities requires a willpower roll as per nightmares.

1) Self-Requiter Though the defender's actions frequently go unthanked, he has learned to encourage himself onward.

System: Whenever you deliver a human from danger into safety or avenge a fallen human, you may roll your rating in Defender of Humanity and regain temporary willpower equal to successes.

2) Martyr The Martyr may suffer the toxins and injuries of a human ally himself, sparing the less capable.

System: When touching a human, you may transfer any wounds or mundane toxins, or venoms from them onto you with no cost.

3) Avenger The avenger may examine any area in which human suffering has taken place, and learn the nature and source of the pain.

System: While examining a location in which human suffering has occurred (crime scene, murder scene, property damage, etc). You may spend a willpower and roll perception plus intuition, difficulty 7. Successes determine effect: 1 success: You know what type of creature caused the pain (human, werewolf, etc.) 2 successes: You know the face and name of the creature in question 3 successes: You may relive the situation as though you were standing in that very spot as it happened. 4 successes: You know where the culprit is at the moment. 5 successes: You may pick out puppet masters that might indirectly be behind the scenes.

Usable only once per example of human suffering. This abiliy's nightmare check is +1 difficulty.

4) Hero With a mere sustained touch, the Hero may grant chosen humans the ability to perform feats they once thought impossible.

System: Touch another human and spend a willpower. While the touch is maintained, any self-targeted or passive ability may also affect them at wielder's discretion. Abilities with an activation cost must have that cost spent for the touched person. Max number of people that can be touched at any given time is equal to Humanity / 2.

5) Champion A true champion of humanity may choose to take another under his wing for special protective privileges.

System: Spend a willpower while touching a human and you may champion yourself to that person. You may only champion a number of humans equal to one half of your humanity score at a time, and doing so allows you to activate any Defender Of Humanity power as though you were touching them wherever they may be. The duration for dot four when you have championed someone is a day.
