Brain Tap

Brain tap [major] by Iczer

'Come on..fight smart I tell you'

The character can sap a person's intellect when he strikes them. Any hand to hand attack, even a slap can trigger this.
In addition to regular damage, the target must make a saving throw of 16+ (ME bonuses apply). If he fails he loses 2D6 points of attributes, stripped as he chooses from IQ, ME and MA. In addition he loses initiative and one attack from the brain drain.
The character, in return gains a type of force field of temporary SDC equalling 5 points per point stolen. The force field augment's the character's PS by 5 points and has an AR of 9.
A target with an IQ of 4 or less is basically non functional. If any mental attribute drops to 0, the target falls into a coma for 4D4 minutes.
Lost mental attributes return at a rate of 1 (each) every 5 minutes. The force field lasts for 5 minutes per level, longer if continually 'topped up' or until depleted through wear and tear.

Other abilities: +4 to save vs psionic attack +2 to IQ, ME and MA
