Frankenstein Form

Frankenstien form [Major] by Iczer

'Oh I got a little bit of everyone in me'

The character can perform a type of piecemeal mimicry on people, adding their abilities to his own. whenever he chooses a subject of mimicry, he gains a particular aspect of them, a single attribute, a single power etc, and adds it to his library of 'pieces'.
The character can hold a number of 'pieces' equal to half his IQ plus one per level.
at a later date, the character can use one of those pieces, gaining the specified attribute or power, which supplants one of their own. When doing so, the character's form twists to resemble the donor and the power.
After using a piece, the character must make a saving throw (10+ ME bonuses apply) or lose the part (the character has used it up). If successful the number needed to save rises by +2 next time (until it is impossible). The character can always discard a piece from his library in lieu of another, presumably better piece.

Duration: Pieces held in library remain until they get 'used up'. once a piece is in use, it can be so for 1 minute per level.

Range: Targets must be within 20 feet to be copied.

Actions: It takes an action to sample a target, and an action to change a piece. By third level the character can swap as many pieces at the same time in the single action.

Limitations: The character copies either a power or an attribute, and it really only applies in a limited (one 'piece') situation. Giving the right arm a PP of 20 and the left arm a PS of 40 means that the character gets the better PP bonus in one arm for striking/parrying, and the extra damage in the other. gaining a character's power does not mean gaining his attributes and vice versa. copying a character's superhuman strength means the character has copied a piece of either a high PS or the superhuman quality attached to their own.

Other bonuses: Every time the character swaps out a power, he heals 20 SDC. While the character cannot copy a target's SDC (exactly which limb has all that SDC?) he does gain +10 SDC per level. The character has one virtual minor power slot, and another at levels 3 5 7 9 11 13 and 15. a virtual minor power can be supplanted with a target's minor power without displacing or overriding one of the character's own. 2 minor powers may be used to mimic a major. This power also accommodates a type of bio-aura that molds the character's clothing to mimic the costume or clothing of the mimicked piece.

Pieces: A 'Piece' is any distinct but separate part of a body. A player with this power should declare what becomes what when he uses it, and no piece can perform double duty. If it is necessary for multiple limbs to be in service for a power to be mimicked (2 legs for sonic speed for instance) then the character is not considered to be using the ability twice (but the legs cannot also be used for enhanced leaping).
