APS: Sound [Major] by Iczer

'Hey dude, watch this..it's a scream'

The character can turn into solid sound, granting him a number of useful abilities.

1) Altered structure: As a being of sound, the character possesses 400 SDC and an extraordinary strength. He possesses an AR of 14 in his altered form.
In addition, energy attacks are virtually ignored when transformed into sound. the character takes 1/5th damage from any source of energy.

2) Fast: When transformed into sound, the character weighs half as much expected from a being of his size, and multiplies his Spd by 5. He enjoys a +4 to PP and gains an additional attack per melee, as well as +2 to dodge and +4 to initiative.

3) Sonic attacks: The character has access to three sonic type attacks while transformed into sound.

  • A screeching attack that radiates outward from his body: The screech takes 2 actions to perform, but all targets within 40 feet will take 3d6 damage and must save vs stun (14+ PE bonuses count) or be disoriented (lose one attack, -20% to balance and -2 to combat for 1d4 melees) glass or fragile objects out to 80 feet take 2d6 damage.
  • A sonic Pulse that slams opponents: 4d6 damage. +4 to strike with an aimed shot only. Targets struck will find worn, non environmental armor to be useless against this damage. targets must also save vs stun (12+ PE bonuses count) or lose their next action.
  • Oscillating wave: The oscillating wave targets molecules and literally shakes them apart. The character blows 4 attacks per melee to perform this stunt and has a +3 to strike with an aimed shot only. No AR protects from this assault which does a mere 2d6 damage. If a target is struck twice within 30 seconds with this wave, he takes an additional 2d6 damage (so if struck once a round for 4 rounds, a target would take 2d6, then 4d6, then 6d6 then 8d6 damage) eventually, even hardened steel melts with this ability.

4) Bullhorn: The character can amplify his voice to 130 Decibels if needed.

5) Other abilities:

The character's hearing in excellent (though not superhuman) while using this ability. Roughly 3 times as good as normal.
The character is -30% to prowl when transformed. he sticks out like a sore thumb and makes an oscillating noise.
