Bulging Muscles

Bulging Muscles (minor) by Mephisto

“Do I look like a girly-man to you now?”

The character is able to cause his or her muscles to expand, providing some minor abilities and benefits.

1. Increased Strength: The character gets a P.S. Bonus of 1D6+4, plus 2 at levels 3, 6, 9, 12, and 14. If the character has normal strength, then it increases to Extraordinary, if Extraordinary then it increases to Superhuman, if Superhuman then it increases to Supernatural. If Supernatural then hey, you are already at the top of the totem pole.

2. Increased Damage: Beyond the damage of the additional Strength, the characters attacks also do increased damage. +2 to damage per even two levels of experience starting at level 2 (2, 4, 6, etc) with a multiplier based on strength level (x2 for Extraordinary, x3 for Superhuman, and x5 for Supernatural).

3. Looking Ridiculous: Besides looking stupid (especially with bare arms), the bulging muscles result in a -3 P.B. Penalty, that may or may not affect the character.

4. Duration: The bulging muscles are not permanent, and last for one minute per level of experience. They can not be used again for 10 minutes, a flat rate.

5. Other Bonuses: None.
