Diamond skin [minor] by Iczer
'I'd feel better about this if they weren't using such big guns'
The character can crystalize his flesh, turning skin and muscle into defensive plating.
At the cost of 20 SDC, the character gains an AR of 8. Every 10 further SDC expended, raises the AR by one until it reaches 16 (100SDC total spent) as the character does this, he becomes covered in spiky growths of crystal.
- At AR 8, the character's spiky growths add +2 to HTH damage
- At AR 12 the growths inflict 2D4 damage as melee weapons (add the +2 damage from AR 8)
- At AR 14 and above the growths inflict 2D6 damage, and 2D4 damage to anyone foolish enough to try to grapple, tackle or grab him.
The character can retract the growths, returning SDC to him if he needs it. The character takes half damage from lasers as long as he has some AR derived from this power.
