Cardboard Cutout

Cardboard Cutout (Major) by Stone Gargoyle

"I can make my own gun if you pass me the scissors."

The superbeing can construct cardboard sculptures which function as weapons and equipment.

1. Prefabricated Cardboard Constructs: Any existing cardboard structure such as a cardboard cylinder can act as a tool for the superbeing, the number of uses of said item equal to the superbeing's ME attribute number, plus one use per level of experience. In this way, he can fashion grenade launchers or telescopes from cardboard tubes, simply be expending an action, which last for a duration equal to the superbeing's ME attribute number in minutes or until reaching the maximum number of uses. The cardboard does not need to be modified in any way to act as a tool or weapon if already in a shape which serves the superbeing's purposes. Cardboard constructs will only have half the range of a normal tool or weapon, however.

2. Creating Cardboard Constructs: By modifying cardboard or creating a tool from scratch, the superbeing can potentially create on which has the same range as an actual tool or weapon, but with the usage and duration limits being the same as prefabricated cardboard constructs. To do so, he must make a successful Art: Sculpture roll with a base level of 30%, plus 5% per level, if he does not already have the skill, or at +20% if he does. For items such as guns, he would also have to make a successful Weapons Engineer roll for anything more complicated than a basic handgun or grenade launcher. Standard construction time applies to creation of larger weapons and tools. The superbeing can create cutouts of people which move like robots as well, but they will not look convincing at close inspection, though might fool an onlooker targeting through curtained windows, such constructs moving at a PP and speed equal to the hero's ME attribute number.
