Ganglia

Ganglia [Major] by Iczer

'Let me chew your ear for a moment'

The character can extend1-4 tendrils from one hand, each with the strength of a human finger but very dexterous. the tendrils can extend up to 50 feet and have some very special abilities.
The tendrils have the ability of heightened sense of touch. Thier excessive flexibility and dexterity mean that the character gains Pick pockets at 75% +5% per level and add +10% bonus to all skills requiring a light touch..presuming his tendrils can perform the work.

The tendrils have 1D4 HP +1 per level, and are harmless in combat. They do add +2 to disarm attempts. If all tendrils are bunched up together, they make a tin rope like limb that has +2 to strike (only) and inflicts 1D4+1 damage (only)

The tendrils really shine when used on a helpless target. the tendrils can be sent into th ears and/or nose of a target and forge a link with the target's brain. this allows control assuming a failed Saving throw(16+). the Character can manipulate the target's body as if it were an extension of his own (a new control save is made once per minute). The new body is a little slow to react though (-2 to any combat moves and PP is roughly half).
If the tendrils are severed a controlled subject becomes momentarilly dazed (no attacks for 1 round, can defend at -4) and the target takes 1D4 damage to his HP. The character can inflict 2D4 damage direct to HP as an action.

Other abilities: +2 to PP +2D4 to ME +2 to MA
