Eyesore [minor] by Iczer

'come on...I'm not that bad'

The character can create oscillating patterns of light across his body that can disorientate and disturb viewers. By expending a single action per round to maintain the effect targets facing him (within 30 feet) suffer a -3 to strike him and must make a saving throw once per round (16+ PE bonuses apply) or suffer a temporary nausea ( a further -2 to strike/parry and dodge). Blind targets, or those who can fight while blind (radar, heightened senses etc) suffer no penalty by simply not looking at him. other character can do the same but are effectively fighting blind.
The character can choose a less severe form of light, that requires no such concentration. It lights a 30 foot area like a torch which is dimmer for another 30 feet. He can also coat himself with graffiti, scroll crude images and words along his body etc.
If the character can get close to a target, he may oscillate light through his eyes. If a target has eye contact it acts as a kind of hypnosis, giving the character a virtual +10 to MA and makes most things he says agreeable. The target usually fails to notice the hypnotic patterns, but outsiders will notice the obvious flashes.
