Burning Gaze

Burning Gaze (Super/Firewalker in HU2/BTS2) by Mephisto

Range: Line of Sight
Duration: One minute per level of experience
I.S.P.: 15 (4 in BTS2)
Saving Throw: Standard

The character possesses the ability to emit a deadly heat wave from his or her eyes. The gaze emits no flame, but a powerful wave of heat that can combust anything flammable in the way. Wood, plastic, and organic matter takes 1D6 damage per melee attack suffered, and in the case of living targets, a save vs pain is required. A failed save means losing one attack and -2 on all combat moves for 1D4 melee rounds. A successful save is no additional effects. Glass and water are not affected by the Burning Gaze, simply because in the case of water, it disperses the heat too well. Metal can also be heated but not to a degree of melting, but can make metal items hot to the touch, and touching them causes 1D4 damage per attempt to grab. Heating metal armor does 1D6 damage per melee to any living tissue covered in the metal armor.
