Ghosting (minor) by Mr. Twist
"Yeah, looks like you missed."
This power could be considered a rather minor version of either Intangibility or Vibration. Instead of moving out of the way to avoid an attack, the character becomes intangible just long enough for the attack to pass right through them.
- Limitations: When using this power, the character has all the same vulnerabilities of the Intangibility major power(like energy attacks or gas attacks).
- Bonuses:
- The character has an Auto-Dodge, with a +1 bonus. This auto-dodge follows all the rules of a normal auto-dodge, with the exception that other bonuses to an auto-dodge only apply if they don't specifically require the character to move(like the minor power of Sidestep, which doesn't apply because it specifically involves the character moving).
- +2 to Perception (if used). The character with this power usually understands this power is only effective if they are aware of an attack, so they tend to pay attention to the world around them.
- Notes:
- Using this power is considered a dodge. A character can't parry and use this power, applying parry bonuses. Auto-dodge(or dodge, see below) bonuses apply only.
- If the player chooses, this power can be done as a normal dodge. If they have better dodge bonuses, and want to use them, they can choose to use this as a dodge action.
- The character and their clothing(and maybe some equipment) become intangible. Other objects carried, up to 5 pounds per level, also become intangible when this power is used. Anything that goes beyond the weight limit will likely be dropped when the character becomes intangible.
- Optional: By GM's discretion, the character might become more attuned with their small ability to become intangible. At(and only at) levels 6 and 13, they can choose to trade this power in for Intangibility (Major). If so, they lose this power in it's entirety (including the auto-dodge, bonuses, and weight limit) and instead now have Intangibility. If a character is generated at, or beyond, the given levels with this power, then they are assumed to have chosen not to have traded this power in.
