Minor Super Abilities (part 2)

[Back to the first part | Ahead to the third part| Ahead to the Major Super Abilities ]

Extradimensional Storage
Created by Brett Hegr

The character has the ability to place physical objects into a pocket dimension. It travels near the character at all times and is not centered upon any physical object. The character cannot place himself in the pocket.

• It takes one melee action to pull objects out of or put them into the pocket.
• The pocket dimension has a maximum storage capacity of where there M.E. is the number of kilograms that can be stored, plus 5kg per level of experience - the size of the object matters not, just the mass.
• The character (well, his pocket at least) can be sensed by beings and spells that can sense dimensional anomalies. Those same beings might have the ability to reach into dimensional pockets, and could pilfer objects in the character's personal one.
• Characters with an M.E. of 15 or higher can sense dimensional pockets (100ft range) and dimensional envelopes (10ft range). They can also attempt to reach into them, once per melee, with a base chance of 20% plus the M.E. attribute, +5% per level.
• The character can sense what is going on inside the pocket. Further, those attempting to open the pocket dimension are instantly known to the character - it's like reaching into his mind, so he's going to know. He'll even wake up out of a deep sleep to see who is trying.

Extraordinary Balance
Created by Brett Hegr

This is the mutant power for an extraordinary sense of balance, and the character gains the following abilities and bonuses:

• +2 to P.P.
• +4 to maintain balance. This is applied as a roll over the strike roll when knockdown is imminent. A successful roll means knockdown was avoided.
• +1 to parry, dodge, pull punch, and +2 to roll with punch/ impact.
• +15% to the Gymnastics and Acrobatics skills (or gets both at the base level without the bonuses - just the skills).
• +5% to the Prowl and Climbing skills (or gets both at -5% to the base level).
• +5% on all vehicle control rolls.
• The character can run across slippery surfaces at half speed with no chance of falling, or full speed with a 30% chance of slipping.
• When falling (whether from climbing or flying) the character gets a chance to right himself in half the normal time (or a second roll to do so).

Extraordinary Life Force
Created by Brett Hegr

The character has an extremely large amount of life energy, which gives him various abilities. He is naturally disease resistant and very difficult to kill. Plus, he can channel his life force into certain physical attributes and boost them temporarily. The following bonuses and abilities are gained:

• Add +2 to the P.E. attribute (minimum of 14).
• Add +30% to save vs coma/death
• +2 vs poisons, toxins, and chemicals in addition to the P.E. bonus.
• Can fight up to 30 hit points below zero!
• Does not fatigue.
• Has an extraordinary amount of Chakra, equal to twice their P.E. or M.E. attribute, whichever is greater. Automatically recovers both types of Chakra at the rate of one per minute of rest or meditation! The character has a chance to recover from Chakra imbalances every day after a full nights rest (25% chance). The character has no special control over their Chakra. For details on Chakra check the Martial Arts file.
• Heals at triple the normal rate.
• Add a +10 bonus to hit points at level one. Also add +2d4 hit points per level of experience in place of the usual +1d6.
• Impervious to the transformative bite of vampires and certain werebeasts.

The character can also focus his life force for a limited amount of time. If this is done he temporarily loses all of the above save throw bonuses and ability to fight to -32 hit points. Each act of energy channeling takes two melee actions. The focus of the channeling can be switched any number of times during the time limit, but each change takes two melee actions to apply. For one minute at level one, plus one more minute per level of experience the character can use his life force to gain one of the following:

• Turn the strength into a supernatural equivalent (lasts only one round per level).
• Add a +4 to save vs magic and psionics.
• Become impervious to possession and mind control.
• Totally negate any penalties imposed by magic spells, pain, psionic attacks, stun weapons, chemical gases, etc. Damage is still taken, but the character can shrug off the debilitating effects and ignore the pain.
• Become resistant (half damage) to one type of attack! This could be fire, cold, kinetic (punches, kicks, and force blasts), energy, electricity, sound waves and vibrations, etc. but only one such attack can be resisted.

Extraordinary Luck
Created by Brett Hegr

A minor version of the Karmic Power, but this ability has no alignment restrictions. It is primarily defensive in nature, granting the following abilities:

• Automatic dodge, with a +1 bonus. No other bonuses are applied to auto-dodge accept for those that apply to auto-dodge.

• +2 to parry
• +2 to disarm
• +1 on all save throws.
• An opponent's Death Blow does not kill, only stuns the character.

Created by Brett Hegr

• The character's skin, bones, and muscles are incredibly strong. Add a +1 to P.S., +1 to P.E., and +4d6+6 S.D.C.^tm
• The character's bones are nearly unbreakable and his skin is cut resistant, so he takes half damage from bladed weapons and cutting attacks. He also has a special, natural A.R. of 8. Add +1 to this A.R. at levels three, five, eight, and eleven.
• Against physical transformation and alteration, the character is also extremely resistant. He gains a save bonus of +4 against magically induced metamorphosis, a vampire's transformative bite, the Alter Physical Structures major super ability, and anything else that can change the structure of the body. This resistance cannot be let down - it is constant and uncontrollable (though the character can still change shape at will, if he has the power to do so).

• All poisons, toxins, and diseases that break down the body's tissues, disrupt chemical processes, and alter genetic structures are less effective.

At 20m he/she can hear sounds as quiet as one decibel. At 45m he/she can hears sounds as quiet as 10 decibels. At 110m the audible perception is grealy taxed, allowing him/her to barely hear a normal conversation in the 30 decibel range. See Sonic Power for the decibel scale.

Bonuses:

Heightened Sense of Taste
Created be Kevin Siembieda

Having a heightened sense of taste means being able to preicsely identify the components of anything tasted. The presence of drugs or chemicals in food will be immediately apparent, although identifying the particular drug or chemical depends on the character's skill in pharamaeceuticals, or chemistry, or past experience.
Characters with a heightened sense of taste will tend to be very particular about what they eat or drink. With practice, they can exactly identify the components of any food or drink, and may even be able to identify its point of origin (something of a hobby). Thus, the character can identify all ingredients in a prepared food and even have a strong idea of their proportions. Furthermore, if the character studies wine, he will be able to identify tthe type, year, bottling, company, and vineyard of any wine from a single taste.
Recognize common ingredients such as sugar, salt, pepper, spices, foods, gasoline, and similiar, at a proficiency of 70%+4% per level of experience.
Recognize exotic tastes such as chemicals, toxins and poisons at a proficiency of 30%+5% per level of experience. Practicing to recognize an unusual taste for two months will put that taste into the common item category.
+10% to cooking skill (professional quality).

Heightened Sense of Touch
Created by Kevin Siembieda

Bonuses & Abilities:

• Can easily recognize and locate very slight differences in textures by touch. 70%+2% per level of experience.
• Identify fabric and material by touch alone. 60%+2% per level of experience
• Notice minute changes in temperature by touch or slowly moving one's hand over an item. 60%+2% per level.
• Penalties for being blind are -5 instead of -8.
• +10% for skills that require delicacy, including indentifying and making forgeries, demolitons, pick pockets, pick locks, palming, cardsharp, etc.
• +1 to strike on an aimed or 'called shot', including a thrown item or weapon.

Impact Resistance

The character's body is such that the damage of kinetic attacks are dispersed more effectively on contact. He gains the following.

• +3 to roll with punch, fall, or impact.
• +3 to maintain balance. This is applied as a roll over the strike roll when knockdown is imminent. A successful roll means knockdown was avoided.
• The character takes no damage from the first 10 points of kinetic damage in a melee, half damage thereafter. Does not apply to bladed weapons but is effective against bullets, stones, punches, kicks, car crashes, etc. Add +5 to the 'no damage' points at levels two, three, five, six, nine, and ten.
• All falls do half damage (don't use the above damage reduction).

Impervious to Cold
Created by Brett Hegr

Uhhhh...guess what! The mutant is impervious to cold and freezing! All forms of cold, magical and mundane, do no damage to the character. Frozen projectiles and ice weapons can still harm the character but do no extra damage due to temperature. Add +20 to S.D.C.^tm and a +1 to P.E.

Impervious to Fire and Heat
Created by Kevin Siembieda

Just as the name suggests, this power makes the character impervious to fire and heat, includ magical fire. The character also only takes half damage from plasma and nuclear fire!

Impervious to Poisons/Toxins
Created by Brett Hegr

The character's body is extremely resistant to damage from foreign substances. Poisons and harmful toxins have no effect, while gases and mind altering drugs have one- fourth the effectiveness, penalties, and duration. Magical and psionic toxins/ poisons are half as effective. Add +10 to S.D.C.^tm and a +2 to P.E.

Impervious to Radiation
Created by Brett Hegr

Radiation and radiation sickness can never damage the character. Plus, he can neutralize radioactivity using his body to soak it up. Touching the target is required, and a melee is necessary to absorb the energy from a human- sized or smaller target (or a 3m radius area). Heavy radiation absorbtion obviously requires longer amounts of time. The character is also impervious to radiation- related problems like cancer and organ malfunction. Heat and fire can still damage the character, however. Add +20 to S.D.C.^tm and a +1 to P.E.
