Armour wings (minor) by Iczer

'Yeah I'm Badarse in the air, but I'm a killer on the ground'

The character has a set of heavy, solid wings that he can wrap around himself. Formed of seemingly inorganic plates, it seems incredible that they could support him in flight at all.

1) As wings: The character can fly at a speed of 40 MPH, Plus 10 MPH per level. In air he has +2 to dodge, and adds normal speed bonuses to damage (+4 per 20MPH) the wings are too heavy to flap in place, and the wingspan is at least double the character's height. On the ground, a wing can be used to inflict 2D6 damage (plus PS bonus).

2) As armor: When the the wings are pulled tight, they form a barrier against attack as they lock over his body. He gains an AR of 14 and can parry sharp or otherwise dangerous objects.

3) Cocoon: By wrapping the wings all around himself, he loses all actions, but gains an AR of 18, and all kinetic damage is halved. he can wrap a second person when performing a cocoon.

4) Concealed: The armored wings are bulky. If pulled tight across his body he will look normal at a glance , but he will need to physically strap them down to appear normal. Holding the wings down is distracting, Losing one attack and 2 initiative. Strapping them down is painful, causing the same penalties, and -10% to skill performance.

5) Other bonuses: The wings have 40 SDC each and an AR of 16. the character enjoys +2 PE and a bonus of 40 SDC himself. Damage taken when cocooned or using the wings as armor can be transferred across the wings, but if a wing is destroyed then flight is impossible and any AR's gained drop by 2. The wings add 20% more to the character's weight.
