Gargoyle

Gargoyle [Minor] by Iczer

'Ugly....why I oughta....'

The character can sacrafice his appearance to give him an edge in combat. In a single melee action, the character can drop his PB by 2 points per level, gaining an equal amount of AR (to AR 16) and a bonus to SDC (no limit, 1 PB = 10 SDC).
The character's appearance warps and develops growths than can appear as calcified, patchwork leather or even a growth of inorganic material.
Once the character has halved his PB score, he rolls once on the random mutation table (rerolling ambidexterous, double jointed or 'no result' results) this mutation remains constatnt every time he dips below half his AR.
In addition, the character can drop 4 points of PB to gain +1 to the effective level of all other powers for 1 melee round. PB burnt in this manner recovers after 15 minutes.
