Happy People (minor) by Stone Gargoyle

The superbeing can create small beings of pure emotion, specifically bliss, which can be directed at targets to alter their emotional state.

Range: The happy people can be created within ten feet of the hero, plus one foot per level, and may go up to the hero's ME attribute number of feet away from the hero, plus one foot per level, without disappearing.

Duration: Up to the hero's ME attribute number in melee rounds, plus one round per level, unless willed away by their creator.

Attacks: Uses one melee attack/action to create a Happy Person. Damage: None, but have special effects on anyone touched.

Happy People Creation: By expending one PPE point, the superbeing creates an emotion being of pure happiness. The character can create one Happy Person at level one, plus one more at levels 4, 8 and 12. The happy person has no HP or SDC, as they do not truly exist, and are invisible to everyone except their creator, though they can be seen by those able to See The Invisible. They appear as round jellylike globs with arms and feet, ears and large black eyes and mouth, and appear to be a foot or two tall.

Attacks: The Happy people can be made to attack by the hero using one attack to make them do so. They have an attack bonus equal to the hero's ME bonus. No actual damage is inflicted, but the person struck must save vs. emotion attack (16 or better, ME bonus applies), or else succumb to bliss. The blissful target will suffer from the effects of the attack for 1d4 melee rounds.

Effects of Bliss: The victim becomes highly spaced out, quiet and withdrawn, enjoying the high, suffering -5 to roll with impact, parry and dodge, and -10% to all skill performance, and they will not fight unless forced into it.
