Caveat Strength
Caveat Strength [Minor] by Iczer
'You cannot know how much this hurts...'
The character has a hidden resevoir of strength in his body that can be tapped at a cost.
The character enjoys +20 PS +3 at every other level, but for every 2 point's he uses, he takes 1 point of damage himself.
The character can also use his strength for the following effects:
Extra leaping: The character can add 4 feet to his jumping distance across or upwards for every point of damage he chooses to take (no more than 10 damage per level)
Rip/rend/tear: the character can take a point of damage to basically 'power through' an opponent's AR, reducing it by 1 for every point of damage he is willing to take.
Change categories: By taking 10 points of damage, the character may simply jump from normal to extraordinary strength for one melee. by expending a further 20 he may jump to superhuman.
Other bonuses: used to self inflicted pain, the character has +4 to save vs pain, +2 to PE and 2D4x10+50 SDC
