EctoForm by Iczer

The character can create a body from ectoplasm and posses it for a while. While the body is up and around, the character's real body slumps while his consciousness controls the body.

The ecto body’s attributes

AR 10
SDC 150
PS 16+1d6 (Extraordinary)
PP 2d6+10
PE as per controller
Spd 3d6+10
PB: Varies. as designed by the creator, rarely over 16.

Other powers possessed by the character may work with the original body or can function only with the ectoform body. (one time option) If the ectoform is killed, the creator wakes with a headache. As the character progresses, he may be able to beef up the body in small ways. Every level after the first the character selects one of the following.

  • Monstrous visage: PB no greater than 6 HF 12
  • Blades or spikes: 2d6 damage +1 per level.
  • Armor plates: AR+1. (May be selected each time until AR 16)
  • Strength: +2PS (may be selected multiple times)
  • Speed: +5 Spd (may be selected multiple times)
  • Beauty: +2PB (may be selected multiple times)
  • Agility: +1 PP (may be selected five times)
  • SDC: +20 SDC (may be selected multiple times)

Additionally, the character can create other bodies. He can design and create another body at levels 3/6/9and 12. When selecting level by level enhancements the character can beef up his prime body, or one of his other bodies.

Starting attributes. The secondary (and tertiary and so on) bodies are each successively weaker than the first.

AR -1
SDC -30
PS -5(not extraordinary)
PP -4
PE -2
Spd -5

If the superform has the remainder of the powers, the secondary has only half as many at half the level.

If destroyed, a Prime body takes 12 hours to regenerate. Secondary and tertiary bodies take five hours.

Optionally, the character may choose (one time only) to actually inhabit the body. If this is the case, then the body is controlled like a suit of bio-power armor providing the following bonuses

  • +1 attack per melee round (both prime and all secondary bodies)
  • The prime body receives 4d6HP+PE, secondary have half this
  • +2 to initiative
  • as the body has to be at least 50% larger than the creator (to fit him) he has +1 AR and +30SDC

Disadvantages:

With the character inside the body, the ectobody must have a way to breathe so gasses and poisons can affect him.

Additionally, the main body can be targeted, and if the rider is targeted then half of every point of damage exceeding 30 can get through (not applying to punches and kicks, or even falls, but bullets, long blades etc...)
