Build Power

Build power [minor] by Iczer

'Patience. It's a virtue'

The character can build power until the last moment, striking like a jackhammer.
The character declares he is building power at any point in a combat round. when he builds power, he begins to absorb light and nearby energy, as well as minute particles, creating an obvious effect around himself. Once he starts he cannot stop until the end of the melee round though. While building energy, he cannot move, or make any significant use of skills, and his concentration is focused on his power build. At the end of the melee round, after all actions have passed the character can release all the built energy in any one of the following manners.

• Make a normal HTH strike roll with +2 to hit and +4 damage for each and every attack spent building it up.
• Rocket 20 feet forward and/or 10 feet upwards (per action spent charging) and make a body block tackle with +1 to strike and +2 damage per attack spent charging.
• Emit a ranged energy attack, with a +6 to strike and inflicting 2D6 damage per action spent in the charge.

Releasing the energy early, if he changes his mind for instance, or has to dodge causes a backlash that inflicts 1D6 damage for each action spent charging to everyone within 5 feet per action spent charging. The character can voluntarily inflict this any time during the charge.
While charging, the character takes half damage from energy attacks.
