-Gender Reassignment[Major]- by Shaded Helios

Through some sort of DNA-based transmutation, the super being is able to convert XY chromosomes to their XX equivalent and vice versa. The power effectively turns a man into a woman or a woman into a man. Seen by some as a power too horrible to contemplate and others as a gift from God, Gender Reassignment is not to be taken lightly. Victims are not made into drop dead gorgeous women or stunningly handsome men. No, if you were butt ugly as a women, you're going to be a sickening man. Transformed individuals will require various periods of adjustment, during which time they may need to learn how to walk comfortably again[what with certain bits and pieces not being where they should and other being where they definitely should not be], take care of certain hygiene requirements, etc, etc, etc...

-Damage- None. The reassignment is quick and physically painless.
-Range- Touch or 10 feet per level of experience beginning at 2nd.
-Duration- The transformation takes place in approximately 1 to 3 seconds, but persists for one week per level of experience. Sacrificing 1 point of P.E. allows the transformation to be made permanent. Required P.E. can come from the super being, for unwilling gender bending, or from the recipient when the transformation is desired.
-Attacks Per Melee- Each attempted reassignment uses one melee action.
-Saving Throw- Willing participants do not make a saving throw, but those who are unwilling can roll a 14 or higher with P.E. bonuses being applicable to resist the reassignment. At GM discretion, unwilling victims may need to roll vs insanity or gain a phobia or obsession for the opposite sex.
-Limitations- Only one person may have their gender reassigned per point of the super being's P.E. per day. Those in environmental body armor can be affected, but have a +2 bonus to resist. The super being cannot reassign their own gender.
