Heart Attack (Major) by Stone Gargoyle and Gryphon Chick

"Is it getting hot in here or is it just me?"

1. Heart Attack: The character adds bio-electrical energy to unarmed hand to hand strikes when contacting unprotected skin. This adds +1d4 damage direct to HP at level one, plus an additional point directly to HP per level of experience. Upon a critical strike 0f 16-20, the target must save vs. coma/death due to a heart attack being initiated by the strike. The character gets a bonus to strike in unarmed hand to hand combat of +1 at levels 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15, in addition to any other bonuses.

2. Heart Burn: A strike will also plant an electrical surge inside the target which will continue to burn for 1d4 SDC damage per melee round for 2d4 melee rounds unless a saving throw is made (14 or better, PE bonus applies) upon the initial strike. The surge of energy will also cause the target to run a low-grade fever, imposing a penalty of -2 to all combat moves, and causing them to lose initiative and be reduced to half attacks for the duration of the fever.

3. Other Abilities and Bonuses:

Resistant to electrical attack (half damage)
+20% to save vs. coma/death
Immune to diseases of the heart and circulatory system
