Dark Thoughts

Dark Thoughts (minor) by Stone Gargoyle

The character can transfer his thoughts and memory into shadow constructs to prevent psionic attack and memory loss due to head trauma. The hero cannot suffer permanent brain damage or memory loss as a result of being hit in the head. The duration of shock from injury to the head is cut in half. Psionics directed at the character do not work unless the shadow constructs are specifically targeted, and even then they save vs. psionic attack at +4 (in addition to any other ME bonus). The constructs generally resemble ravens.

SDC: Each shadow construct has SDC equal to the hero's ME, but are basically intangible, taking damage only from light and laser attacks, magic and psionics. When one of them is destroyed, the character will lose that mental faculty for 2d4 days before his memory and creativity/mental faculties return. If one of the ravens is partially injured, the character is -1% to skils and trust/intimidate for each point of damage taken until the damage heals. Healing of the shadow constructs is at a rate of one point per melee round.

Number of Constructs: Two: One for memory, the other for thought.

Range: Can fly up to 50 feet away, plus 50 feet per level

Flight Speed: MEX10mph, +10mph per level

Damage: 2d6 pecking damage, 1d6 damage from raking with talons

Attack Bonus: Add character's ME bonus to all combat moves.

Attacks: Uses one melee attack/action to create shadow ravens and transfer mental attributes. Shadow ravens have an amount of attacks equal to the character's ME bonus plus 4 attacks

Duration: Concentration. Uses one melee attack/action per round to maintain and the character is -2 to combat moves and -5% to skill performance.

Other Abilities and Bonuses:

+1d4 IQ

+1d6 ME
