Groundhog

Groundhog: [Minor] by Iczer

'I'll be seeing you'

The character can merge with the earth, only to return explosively.

1) Merge with earthp: If standing on earth, sand soil or natural ground (not concrete and not solid rock or stone) the character can drill quickly down, dropping 8 feet. this is fast enough, that it may be used to escape or dodge an incoming attack (requires one action, like a dodge. The total dodge bonus is at +6). While underground, the character is dimly aware of surface conditions though a kind of vibration sense. His movements are heavilly restricted (he's encased in earth) he can move up to 5 feet as an action as long as it's through earth, sand, broken ground etc. Those above will feel him moving around by his churning of the earth.

2) Return to earth: The character may return above as an action. He may also 'burst' upwards at the cost of two actions. If anyone is within 5 feet of his location, he may burst upwards as an attack , inflicting 6D6 damage (plus PS bonus). Parries are at -4 dodges are at -2 (unless the character posesses special senses. heightened sense of touch, Vibration, Seismic power etc). In addition, the attack spews rock for 10 feet in all directions, inflicitng 2D6 damage.
