Crystal Skeleton [Major] by Iczer

'Ohhhh....this is going to hurt'

The character can transform his skelton, and to a lesser extent his cartiliginous tissue, into hardened crystal, warping and shaping the bones so they jut out and protrude from his body.

1) Defensive bonuses: Once transformed, the bones add 80 to the character's SDC add +4 to roll with punch/fall/impact and +2 to parry, and the character suffers only half damage from large, heavy impacts including falls, automobile crashes and even being crushed under the foot of giant robots. The bones are virtually unbreakable, requiring over 1000 Damage just to shatter one.

2) Offensive bonuses: The solid, dense bones, combined with the exposed crystaline striking surfaces add +8 to hand to hand damage. the reinforced body structure turns the character's strength into extraordinary strength and the augmented muscles add +4 to PS.

3) Other abilities: The character's bones respond to vibration. by synching with a source of a vibration, the character activelyresists it. The character takes half damage from vibratory or sonic attacks. His crystalised inner ear bones grant excellent high and low range hearing granting +2 to initiative and +2 to perception Saving throws (where hearing is applicable). furrthermore, the character can identify the source and location of any vibrations he can feel, able to track it back to the source.
