Borrower

Borrower Category by Stone Gargoyle

There are some superbeings who defy explaination, logic and reason, surviving in spite of being reduced to atoms. They are not dead but not alive in their original bodies, having somehow defied death to live on. These superbeings are on borrowed time and reform themselves by borrowing the atomic structure of other substances to reassemble themselves. They do not become immortal but quite the opposite, living shortened lives but having incredible powers.

Attributes: Determine as normal, but the initial stats may be modified by the APS and other powers.

SDC and Hit Points: The being no longer has Hit Points, their SDC being a reflection of the artificial bodies they employ. They strart out with either 80 SDC or the amount granted by their APS power.

Super Abilities: The superbeing automatically gets an APS power and the major power of Regeration Ultima. They also get either two major abilities, four minor abilities or one major and two minor additionally. Due to their defiance of death and mystical nature, they start out with 1d6X10+PE in PPE points.

Shortened Life Span: The Borrower can only keep this adopted form for a total number of years equal to his ME number, unless of course it is destroyed completely before that time and he is unable to regenerate.

Other Limitations: The superbeing does not transform from his APS form and once the SDc of the form is depleted they must use the Regeneration Ultima to reform or else be destroyed.

Other Stuff:

Education and Skills: Standard, though typically Borrowers are amongst the better educated individuals.

Money: Unless able to prove their identity, Borrowers will have little access to money. They might, howerver, be able to sell their services due to their unique powers.

Hand To Hand Combat: Combat skills are not gained automatically and must be learned.

Attacks per melee: As all other superbeings, the Borrower starts out with 2 attacks/actions per melee, with any additional developed through Hand to Hand combat, Boxing and super abilities.

Borrowers are immune to drugs, poisons, toxins and are +6 to save vs. magic potions.

Unless a Borrower can prove their identity, a Borrower will not have an apartment, vehicle or job. There is only a 30% chance he will be seen as human.
