Carbon-copy of Pain(minor) by Taalismn

“You handed quite a beating to my little sister...Now you’re going to feel EXACTLY how she felt...”

Ths ability allows the superbeing to store and transfer the damage amount and damage pattern (broken limbs, burns, bruises, etc.) inflicted on himself or another person/lifeform and give it to another. So if a teammate gets their arm and leg broken, doing 18 points of damage, OfficeMax touches his colleague...then tackles the goon who did the deed, and touches him, asserting Carbon-copy of Pain. The goon immediately ‘relives’ having his arm and leg broken, and experiences the same injuries, in the same places. Note that this power does NOT heal damage, nor does it inflict additional damage on the possessor.
The superbeing can only copy and store a set amount of damage and one set of wounds at a time. OfficeMax cannot, for instance, at first level, copy a fifty-point full body trauma injury, nor, having memorized his friend’s arm-and-leg fracture, can he also pick up and store away that double damage groin kick he was witness to. If he wants the latter for use later, he’ll have to forget the double-limb fracture. Range: Touch

Damage: The superbeing can duplicate and store his P.E. x2 in damage, +1d6 per level of experience.
Duration: Permanent damage(until healed). The superbeing can store the pattern of injuries indefinitely, but can store only one set at a time. Only at level 6 of experience can he store an additional set, and another at levels 9 and 12, but the total damage between the damage patterns cannot exceed hs maximum damage buffer.
Save: The targeted being gets a save versus psionic attack; if successful, they take NO damage from this power, aside from a mild tingling sensation around those body parts that would have been affected.
Note: The superbeing can only copy the injuries of LIVING beings...no necro-copying off of corpses.
