Brace

Brace [Major] by Iczer

'I'll hold it for you madam'

The character reinforces objects with his touch, granting them a level of resistance to harm, though it does hamper movement.

1) reinforce: the character can merely touch a person or object and grant it an extra 15 SDC per level and an AR of 14. this is a forcefield like projection that surrounds a target and the character at the same time. The character can reinforce objects up to 75lbs per level. In addition, if the protection is breached, the character can redirect damage into himself rather than the target. This can be used to protect fragile vials, hostages or anything else the character may choose to protect. This field recovers at a rate of 1 point per minute, but any AR is gone when the field is dropped. The field persists only as long as the character is touching his target.

2) Self protection: needless to say, the character is surrounded by his own field at all times (AR 14 15 SDC per level)

3) Brace: the character can also reinforce much larger structures. The character must touch the object in question and then brace himself. The character become immobile as his field intensifies and surrounds both himself and his target. This larger, imobilising field acts multiplies the remaining strength of the substances, and thier remaining SDC's by 100. Esentially holding it together until the effect is ended. [Dynaman, noticing the bomb about to go off, drops a 10 SDC Aluminium bucket over it and activates his brace. The bucket jumps to 1000SDC, absorbing the 500 damage of the explosion. the bucket is released soon after, and drops to a mere 5 SDC]

[Dynamman, taking the elevator to the ground floor, hears the elevator grind to a halt. investigating the roof hatch, he finds that the cable is fraying, and can no longer support the weight of the elevator (The cable can only now support 600lbs). he grabs the cable with a free hand, multiplying it's tensile strength. now the cable can support 60,000lbs, and rescue workers are in no rush to evacuate the passengers] There is no upper limit as to what can be reinforecd by the brace, except as common sense dictates (The character may hold a bus together, but not a starship. maybe an office building, but not the whole planet).
