Body Weapons

Body Weapons (Major) by Stone Gargoyle

This is a major version of the minor super ability appearing in the HU2 main book (on page 229).

This power enables the character to alter the shape and structure of his extremities to form weapons. This means he can elongate and transform one to all of his fingers into stabbing spikes, cutting knives, or scythe-like claws; grow spikes, hooks or knife blades from the knuckles; the fingers and hand into a two, three or four pronged fork, hatchet, hammer, metal ball, or scissors or shears; or the hand and forearm into a sword, mace, morning star, ball and chain, trident, and so on. The weapons can range from any variety of blades to club-like stumps. The shapes are limited to traditional hand to hand, melee weapons (hammer, mace, sword, scythe, etc.); nothing long-range, that fires projectiles, or that can be thrown. Some items with moving parts can be made (such as scissors), as well as serrated saws, screwdrivers, picks, and similar items.
Keys can be made with a successful skill roll to match an existing key (40%, +5% per level, rate of success), as well as lockpicks, adding +10% to any pick locks roll using the created pick. The forehead can be lined with spikes, adding +3d4 to head butts at level one, plus 2 points of damage per level. Sharp horns, blades and protrusions at the elbows and knees add the same amount of damage to knee and elbow strikes.
Creation of blade arms can extend to three times the normal forearm length.
