Ectoplasmic Decoy

Ectoplasmic Decoy (Super Psionics) by Taalismn

Type: Super

Range: Self or other by touch

Duration: 15 minutes per level of experience or until dispelled by the creator

Saving Throw: None

ISP Cost: 13

Effects: This power produces an ectoplasmic dummy replica of a person, complete with clothing. The ‘dummy’ is essentially a psionically-produced animatronic double that can move in a preprogrammed fashion, going through the motions of work, or walking/running, but it has no skills, no real phsyical strength, and no combat abilities.
The decoy is little more than an animated shell of ectoplasm. It cannot speak or socially interact beyond nodding or smiling/grimacing when spoken to. Close inspection will show how clothing and flesh seem to merge, and the decoy is cold and clammy to the touch(it will also appear as cold to thermal imaging devices). It has an effective P.S. of one, allowing it to pick up pens and pencils, move papers, and raise a coffee cup, furthering the illusion of it being a real person, but it cannot do anything meaningful(don’t expect it to shovel your driveway for you). It can walk or run at a maximum Speed of 6, and can avoid running into objects and other people, but isn’t bright enough to stop for crosswalk signs or avoid running out into traffic.
The decoy has only 10 SDC, and destroying it will result in the decoy spattering into a shower of rapidly-evaporating ectoplasmic goo.
