Divisive Immortality

Divisive immortality [Minor?] by Iczer

“Dang…another mouth to feed”.

The character has a kind of super metamitosis ability, allowing him to split to avoid damage and death. Under normal circumstances, he takes 1/3rd damage from weapons that inflict damage by cutting or piercing, his flesh parting at the impact but flowing back together just as rapidly. If he takes more than 60 points of damage from cutting or piercing attacks, then he may choose to split. A character that chooses to split when faced with such trauma, divides into two identical beings with a combined mass equal to the original. The damage from the initial attack is reduced to 1/10th the two beings are stunned for the next 3d4 melee rounds as they struggle to form adaptive organs. These two beings have half SDC and HP, half PS and PE and –2 to IQ ME and MA but are otherwise identical. Each being can split and resplit, again and again with the same consequences, though beings with mental attributes of 2 form nothing but squealing, mewling flesh. If any pieces are brought back together, they may spend 3 minutes squeezing back together, creating a new being with the sum of attributes, SDC and HP, and restoring a modicum of the mental attributes, and healing 4d6 SDC or HP in the process. If any piece remains uncombined for more than an hour, it becomes a new life form. The character retains control of all his ‘pieces’ until that hour passes.

If the character finds him unable to rejoin, one piece will reform lost SDC, HP and lost attributes at a rate of 1 attribute per day, and 5 SDC/HP per day. Any new creatures formed in this process will be as smart as their requisite IQ allows, but will otherwise reshape to become a (diminutive) clone of the PC.

The PC can also survive deliberate amputation, even of the head. Such an amputation attempts to form organs to survive the separation until it can be rejoined. If more than a few minutes pass without being rejoined, it grows miniature limbs for mobility and organs to locate the main body mass (This can be funny in the case of decapitation). Obviously the power body freak makes this power a lot more versatile.
