Create Elemental Entity: Photonic Cloud
Create Elemental Entity: Photonic Cloud (Major) by Gryphon Chick
The character can generate a cloud of photon particles which is self-aware and can move on its own within the range of the power. Due to his proximity to the photon cloud he creates, the character creating the cloud is resistant to damage from physical and energy attacks.
1. Photonic Cloud: The character can generate a cloud of photon particles which brighten light in the area of the cloud and which can attack independently of the character.
- Range: The character can generate the photon cloud at a distance from himself of up to 300 feet, plus 30 feet per level of experience.
- Size of Cloud: The cloud is a gathering of disassociated light particles which gather within a space of 10 feet square, plus 1 foot per level of experience.
- Duration: The cloud can remain in existence for up to ten minutes per level of the character's experience.
- Attacks: The character uses two melee attacks/actions to generate the photon cloud or to cause it to dissipate. Once created, the cloud itself has a number of attacks equal to 3 at level one, plus an additional attack at levels 4, 8 and 12.
- Movement: The photon cloud can move itself within the range of the power at a rate of speed equal to the character's ME attribute number.
- Attack Types:
- - Photon Blast: The cloud can shoot blasts of photons at targets outside of itself. The photon blast is a "physical" attack, not a light based attack, because it is made of light particles.
- Range: Can shoot blasts at targets to a range of 1000 feet, plus 100 feet per level of the character's experience.
- Damage: 1d4X10 points of damage +2 per level of the character's experience.
- Duration: Instant.
- Attacks Per Melee: Each blast/beam counts as one of the cloud's melee attacks.
- - Photon Cloud Detonation: The cloud can attack those within the cloud for greater damage.
- Range: Touch; target must be within the cloud of particles.
- Damage: 2d4X10 damage at level 1, plus 1d4X10 additional damage at levels 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15.
- Duration: Instant.
- Attacks Per Melee: An attack of this type counts as 2 of the cloud's melee attacks.
- - Photon Blast: The cloud can shoot blasts of photons at targets outside of itself. The photon blast is a "physical" attack, not a light based attack, because it is made of light particles.
- Other Effects: Those within the cloud of photon particles suffer a -1 to strike, parry and dodge because of the bright light and the area of the photon cloud is bright enough that characters can see as if in daylight even at night.
2. Resistant to Light Energy and Physical Attacks: The character is resistant to light and laser damage, as well as damage from photon blasts, taking only half damage. He is also resistant to physical strikes and impacts, taking only half damage from such attacks.
3. Other Bonuses:
- +2d4 ME
- Character suffers only half normal penalties for being blinded due to bright light.
