Allergy Attack
Allergy Attack (Minor) by Finegael
Wait, you have to sneeze, ha.. ha.. ha...
This strange power has quite a few useful applications. Especially as there seem to be more and more allergies in our time. This is also a very strong power against superbeings with an Achilles Heel. Typical allergies include: grass pollen, strawberries, shellfish, peanuts, bee venom, nickel, different kinds of animals, dust and much more. And these are only very common allergies. There is probably no material on earth against which not at least some people are allergic.
1. Sense Allergy: Can sense if a person has any allergy at all, what kind of allergy and what his reaction is (mild, severe, deadly). This works even if the person does not know he has an allergy.
- Range: 100 feet, line of sight
- Duration: concentrate for 1 round
2. Allergy Attack: This will bring the allergy into effect, even if the allergic material is not on hand. At first level the character can only provoke mild reactions (like sneezing, a rash, coughing,..). At fourth level he can trigger the more severe allergies (e.g. problems with breathing, extreme skin problems). At eighth level it is possible to activate a deadly reaction (heart problems, throat is closing,..). To use this attack one has to know the exact allergy (either through general knowledge or through Sense Allergy).
- Range: 10 feet/level
- Damage: depends on the allergy
- Duration:
- 10 minutes/level for mild allergies: -1 to all combat rolls
- 5 minutes/level for severe allergies: - 4 to all combat rolls
- 1 melee round/level for deadly allergies: can not attack at all, -8 to all defensive rolls, has to roll vs. Coma/Death every 10 melee rounds of falls into a coma
- Attacks: This uses up all melee attacks for that round.
3. Stop Allergies: This will stop an ongoing allergy.
- Range: 10 feet/level for mild and severe allergies, touch for deadly ones
- Duration: 10 minutes/level for mild and severe allergies or as long as he touches the person.
- Attacks: 1 melee attack for mild and severe allergies, all for deadly ones
4. Other Abilities and Bonuses:
- Has no allergies at all (only exception is the Mega-Hero and his Achilles Heel).
- + 5% to all medical skills
- This power works on all living, organic beings (humans, aliens, animals)
Note: In the developed countries (North America, Europe, Japan,...) about one third of the population suffer from some kind of allergy. This number is smaller in the rest of the world (Africa, South and Middle America, most of Asia). The exact reason for this is unknown, but seems to lie in too much hygiene (ironic, isn´t it?).
