Destroy Dead (Minor) by Senator Cybus

With just a touch, the hero can cause dead flesh to disintegrate. This power only affects tissue that has undergone the process of necrosis, leaving living flesh completely unharmed.

1. Decompose. The super being can cause corpses to instantaneously break down into particulate matter, indistinguishable from household dust; not so much as a single speck of DNA remains intact. The character’s touch can instantly dissolve up to 100 lbs (45 kg) of dead flesh per level of experience.

Range: Touch.
Duration: Instant.
Attacks Per Melee: Destroying the maximum amount of dead flesh uses up just one melee attack/action.
Saving Throw: None.

2. Destroy Undead. The hero’s touch is just as effective against the walking dead, causing massive damage to such unnatural abominations.

Range: Touch.
Damage: 5D6. This is in addition to any damage caused by strikes.
Duration: Instant.
Attacks Per Melee: One attack/action for a simple touch, or as per attack.
Saving Throw: None - the only defence undead beings have against this effect is to simply try to avoid being hit.
Limitations: The hero must make physical contact with an undead opponent to use this ability, the power cannot be transmitted through a weapon.

3.Bonuses:

The super being is +3 to save vs. the paranormal/mystical attacks of the undead (they can still strike him physically, though they will be damaged by doing so) and necromantic spells.
The character cannot be turned into a vampire or any other form of undead.
