Alter Body Odor
Alter Body Odor (minor) by Taalismn
“...so the secret to getting Metragod to pay attention to you is to smell like a cheeseburger? Who’d have guessed?”
The superbeing can alter their body chemistry (in as little as 1d4 melees) to change how they smell to others. The smell can change in type and intensity from haven’t-washed-for-days-sweathog to bouquet-of-flowers. This can be used to defeat smell-based sensory powers (or conversely, ASSIST smell-based sensory powers), or as an invisible form of communication (or subliminal persuasion). The superbeing can also cover up signs of working out (imagine turning sweat odor to lavender scent). They can even attempt to smell like other individuals. While not as powerful as the Pheremones ability, this power is arguably more versatile.
