Heart Control

Heart Control (Minor) by Finegael

Oh, oh,....my heart!

This power controls diverse biological aspects of the heart (not the romantic ones!).

1. Sense Heartbeat: Can sense the heartbeat of another living being. This means he knows if someone is anxious, exited or exerted himself, even if it does not show on the outside. He recognizes when a heart is artificial or when there is no heart at all. Can also feel if a heartattack is imminent or ongoing. Can "hear" the heartbeat even through walls. Also detects if a person is really dead or just pretending (like hibernation, playing dead, and so on).

• Range: 100 feet line of sight, 10 feet through walls
• Duration: as long as he concentrates

2. Heart Attack:

• Range: 10 feet/level, line of sight
• Damage: 2d6 directly to HP and the pain makes the character -3 on all combat rolls for the next melee round

• Stop poison: 70% + 3%/level By slowing his heartbeat to nearly zero he also stops poison in the body. But as soon as the heart is normal again, the poison starts to spread, so somebody should call a doctor in the meantime.
