Accumulation

Accumulation (Major) by Iczer

With accumulation, the character can collect raw materials and gather it as an attack, a defence or for more useful reasons.

Basic ability: The character can summon forth raw material to collect in his vicinity. 60lbs per level may be summoned, material gathers from a 500-foot radius (+200 feet per level). This material gathers near the character hovering until placed somewhere, until duration expires (3-6 seconds). The summoned material is usually very basic in nature…sand, dust, water air etc… Specific materials will gather in much smaller numbers (gold is so rare that it may not gather at all, and argon may not even register). The materials are taken in minute amounts, spread over the area of effect, so summoning rocks is not likely to affect the structure of a nearby wall. Once summoned, the material hovers in place for a second or two, allowing some of it’s other uses.

• Attack: The summoned material can be flung in an attack, doing 1d4x10 in a barrage of rocks, steel chunks, dirt, whatever. Range 60 feet +5 per level. Attacks per melee: counts as one attack, but can be performed once per melee. +4 to strike, but is –2 to dodge as the attack literally comes from everywhere.
• Defense: Summoned material may be held momentarily as a shield, having about 120 SDC worth of protection as a momentary shield, or more as a wall of material. +4 to parry. Counts as one action, but may be performed only once per melee.
• Utility: The summoned material may be used to put out fires, summon breathable air, or to clean house (collect dust into a ball). Disparate materials may be “Forced” into a shape and molded together. In this fashion, Iron Filings could be forged into swords, Wood shavings into a surfboard, and water could be poured into a glass. It takes three actions to forge an item in this way and has a base chance of success of 25%+5% per level. At fifth level, the character can attempt to summon Things from people’s bodies (arsenic, Bullets etc) by rolling under PE on a d20. Also at fifth level, specific objects may be summoned…such as bricks, or rings, or trash. These items will assemble, as the character wants them, but cannot be forged. Summoning takes two actions this way, and is at ¼ weight limit. Items held in a character’s hand will not move.
