Detonation Or Explosive Power (Major) by Stone Gargoyle

"I'm gonna blow this place up, yo!"

The character is able to generate an explosive blast similar to a nuclear warhead, with the blast radius centered around the character himself. The super being is impervious to his own explosions and usually finds it amusing to catch opponents off guard by, effectively, blowing himself up.

Range: The character can control the concussion blast radius around him in the following increments: 40 feet, 100 feet, 150 feet, 200 feet and 300 feet; increase each by 100 feet when used underwater.
Damage: 1d4X100 damage at level one, plus 1d4X10 damage per level of experience starting at level two, which cannot be reduced, it always does full damage. Area effect; no aimed shot or extreme long-range distance attacks are possible, but everybody within the blast radius takes full damage from the explosion.
Duration: Instant
Attacks per melee: Each explosive blase counts as two melee attacks.
Bonuses: The super being is impervious to fire and explosions, and is resistant to heavy impacts like getting hit by a car (half damage) which can be reduced by half again if he makes a successful roll with punch, fall or impact (+8 to do so in addition to any bonuses from Hand to Hand skill).
