Excavation

Excavation (minor) by Stone Gargoyle

The hero's body generates a field which pushes, compacts and disintegrates the earth around it, clearing tunnels and creating underground chambers. It may be some form of elemental conversion, also, creating minimal oxygen as well.

1.Earth Mover: When walking on bare earth, a trench forms beneath the hero's feet at a distance of three feet in depth. The hero appears to be levitating above the trench, but will actually push the earth further down if maintaining a stationary position and not moving forward. When passing by the side of a hill or area of elevated earth, the hero's aura will generate a tunnel and maintain it at a distance of three feet on all sides. By moving at half speed, a tunnel will form arond the hero so as to allow him and any inside the field to pass through. TThe tunnels will not be permanent and will collapse after 2d4 hours after the hero is out of range. The hero generaters enough oxygen for himself to breathe in the process of excavating the tunnels, but those travelling with him may need their own breathing aparatus if stuck below ground. The hero can use this ability to dreate rooms as well, which wioll allow him to create an underground home as long as care is taken to reinforce the structure using building materials.

2.Earth Deflection: The hero s immune to attacks from powers using the earth element to attack and cannot be caught in a cavein or under falling rocks, which fall harmlessly away from his aura. In addition, the hero can use this to parry projectiles and bullets and is +2 to do so, as long as the projectiles contain metal ore. The hero is also always clean, his body never touched by dirt.

3.Other Abilities and Bonuses:

+10% to construction skills (masonry, carpentry, etc.)

+2 to Maintain Balance

+4 to roll with punch, fall or impact
