Downhill Racer

Downhill racer: [Minor] by Iczer

'Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeooooooooooooow'

The character revels in excessive, uncontrolled speed, and his reflexes and agility are altered to match. Despite it's name, this applies to all forms of uncontrolled speed.

1) Survive crash: when the character takes damage from a fall or crash, he simply absorbs half of it. this only applies when the character is not in control of his actions. If he flies into a wall under his own power he is out of luck. If he flies into a wall on a machine or other conveyance (or via the glide power) then it functions normally. Note, the character can still roll with punch/fall/impact to reduce this further.

2) Enhanced reflexes: at speed the character's reflexes increase. for every 10MPH the character is travelling, he gains +2% to any applicable piloting skills. an 80MPH bobsled gives him +16%. a jet moving at 500MPH grants +100% (to a maximum skill of 98%). this does not help if the character cannot pilot the craft, though it does help towards any balance checks made (such as while skiing). At speeds over 50 MPH the character enjoys +2 to dodge.

This power only kicks in when the character is not directly propelling himself. Powered movement such as many of the flight powers, as well as the ground speed enhancing powers do not enable this. Power such as glide and sliding represent unpowered movement and do work. As always, refer to the GM for what will and what will not fly.
