Making Rules Worlds: Neandertal

Here's my response to Nakade's Making Rules Worlds challenge. I might do more, but for now, here's some mechanics for a Neanderthal setting. Namely, Highland Paranormal Society's Neandertal.

You big man. But, what if... BIGGER MAN?? Here how you become BIGGEST MAN to defeat the BIGGER MAN after BESTEST WIFE.

The key is to eat. Not the good foods, the bad foods we rid of. The only way to become biggest man is to test your worth and eat bad foods.

Whenever you eat an organ or small body part from an animal's body, roll STR. If you succeed, gain a bonus based on the organ or body part. If you fail, you lose 1 MAX Vim. If you reach 0 Max Vim from this, the animals you've eaten awaken their souls and render you a mad, raving killer with no sense of humanity.

Examples:

Food Sack (Stomach): You gain the fortitude of the animal you've eaten. Your STR is +1 for each stomach for future rolls related to eating. As well, your diet now switches to whatever you've eaten. You vomit profusely if you eat something that the animal would not normally eat, unless it is another stomach.

Rounded See-Holes (Eyes): You can magnify your vision, doubling your sight distance for each eye you've consumed. If you eat a nocturnal creature's eyes, you can also see in the dark like they can. As well, you have recurring nightmares of the animals you've consumed eating you alive. It takes longer to get a full rest.

Wrinkly Flesh Crown (Brain): Your FIRE increases by 1 for each brain you've consumed. As well, the animal can speak with you in your mind, and it's sometimes hard to think as a result.

Beating Blood Pump (Heart): Animals of the type you have consumed will respect you. As well, you occasionally feel obligated to act in a situation how the animal would. If you do not, the animals lose respect for you.
