Buried for 3 Years (Percentage of Power): After reverting to a larval form, you must go underground. There, your form matures.
(1)-[Permanent]: You cannot enter this Transformation unless you have at least 1 stack of Holding Back.
(2)-[Adventuring]: You may bury yourself underground for any length of time. While buried underground, you cannot be sensed. If you spend a large amount of time underground, your ARC may allow you to gain Power Levels or Awakenings, representing your body and mind maturing. This should be done as a way to allow your character to catch up if they miss any growth in power found in the rest of the party while they are underground (see — Downtime).
(3)-[Permanent, Passive]: Upon gaining access to this Transformation, you may select 2 Bestial Traits or 1 Monstrous Trait. While in this Transformation, you have your selection instead of those selected for the 2nd effect of Uncanny Monster.
(4)-[Passive]: You are Small, but treat your Size Category as if it was Enormous for calculating your Speeds. If your base Size Category is already Small or less, your Size Category is instead 1 lower than your base Size Category.
(5)-[Passive]: For each stack of Holding Back you possess, reduce the Attribute Modifier Bonuses (AG/FO/TE/MA) of this Transformation by 1(bT) and increase the Dice Score of your Stealth Skill Checks by 1 (max. 3)
(6)-[Triggered, 1/Round]: When using the Signature Technique Maneuver, you may ignore the Attribute Modifier Bonus (AG/FO/MA) of this Transformation for the duration of that Attacking Maneuver.
(7)-[Triggered, Resource]: Each time you would gain an Adaptation Point, you may instead gain a Maturation Point. Your maximum number of Maturation Points is equal to your maximum number of Adaptation Points.
(8)-[Triggered]: Each time you gain a Maturation Point, you may regain 1(bT) Life and Ki Points.
(9)-[Triggered, 1/Encounter]: If you leave this Transformation, convert all Maturation Points you possess into Adaptation Points.
