99 Red Balloons

99 Red Balloons (minor) by Stone Gargoyle

The hero can summon a number of balloons from his environment, up to a number of yards away equal to his ME attribute number X10 (MEX30 feet). He can summon either a large hot air balloon or a mumber of smaller balloons, equal in number to the hero's ME attribute number X10.
These balloons can be used in the following ways:

1. Small Balloon Barrier: The hero can use the smaller balloons to act as a barrier against attacks. This barrier will obscure vision, imposing a penalty on attackers of -6 to strike through the balloons, and serve to block attacks. Each balloon has 1 SDC point, popping when hit with a strike roll under 10. Strikes over 10 will push the balloons aside and continue on to their original target. Popping a balloon will cause the attacker to have to make a save vs. being stunned by the noise (14 or better, ME bonus applies) or lose an attack.

2. Flight: Hover: The hero can use a summoned hot air balloon to ride in, or summon a group of smaller balloons to carry him aloft in flight.

Speed: 10mph, plus 5mph per level

+2 bonus to Dodge

+2 dmg for every 20mph of speed

Note that the hero will fall if 10% or more of the SDC of the smaller balloons is depleted, as all the balloons must be used for him to fly with them.

3. Other Abilities and Bonuses:

+4 to Roll w/ Punch, Fall or Impact

+4 or +20% to Balance checks
