Burning Fat

Burning Fat (minor) by Stone Gargoyle

"Oh, I'll help you lose weight all right."

The character has the ability to ignite fatty acids in overweight people and cause them to do damage. This is basically a way of causing the opponent's body mass to work against them.
Since using the Body Mass Index would overcomplicate the power and be difficult to calculate, for the purposes of this power anyone over 160 pounds can be affected. The target can be made to suffer one point of damage for each pound of body weight over 160 pounds up to 200 pounds, and 2 points of damage for each pound over 200. This represents the cells exploding inside the body painfully. Additionally, each 10 points of damage to SDc will automatically cause the target to suffer one point of damage to Hit Points. The exception to this is any weight gained from artificial parts such as bionics, Super Soldier Tissue Density Increase, the Eugenic parts of Pituitary Gland and Massive Build, and/or super powers increasing body density or altering the physical structure of the character. This power can be saved against so the target only takes half damage, and they will also take 30% less damage if possessing Acrobatics, Gymnastics, Body Building or Military skills, or if dual classed with Physical Training.

Range: Touch, plus one foot per level starting at level two.

Duration: Instant.

Attacks: Causing the body mass to combust uses 2 melee attacks/actions.

Saving Throw: 14 or better, PE bonus applies. A successful saving throw reduces damage to half.

Other Abilities and Bonuses: The character is always at his optimal weight, gaining +1d4 to PE and +20% to save vs. coma/death
