Battle Ready

Battle Ready (Major) by Gryphon Chick, Stone Gargoyle and Mephisto

The character is built for combat with bulletproof skin and skills with weapons for distance attacks that put others to shame. This character is not afraid to be in a gunfight, with superior balance and bulletproof skin, yet being vulnerable in melee combat he does not do well in hand to hand.

1.Bulletproof Skin: This is based off of the second sub-ability of the Bulletproof major power in PU3. The character's skin is bulletproof and resistant to damage. No projectile, rocket shell, grenade, arrow or thrown object can hurt him, not even armor piercing bullets, explosive bullets, grenades or explosive shells. The character simply absorbs them momentarily upon contact, neutralizing them and causing them to fall harmlessly to the ground. The character is still susceptible to poisons, toxins, disease, fire. heat, plasma, electricity, lasers and all energy based attacks, psionics and magic. Even ordinary punches, kicks and hand held weapons such as a knife or club inflict damage, although all kinetic based attacks such as these only do half damage.

2. Heightened Sense of Balance: Same as the minor superability

3. Bonuses To Distance Attacks (over 20 feet away): Bonuses apply to Long Range combat only. Strike bonuses apply only to firearms, archery, javelins weapons of that nature, as it fits the purity of an assassin type power that does not want to be stuck duking it out with anyone.
