Icon

Icon (Major) by Stone Gargoyle

The superbeing possesses a runic marking which provides a boost to his powers which can be transferred or copied onto others.

1. Iconic Powers: The Iconic Marking gives the superbeing the following abilities:

• Doubles the Spd attribute number
• Moves the character's PS up one category (normal to Extraordinary, Extraordinary to Superhuman, Superhuman to Supernatural).
• Doubles the distance of energy attacks or effects such as force fields.
• Adds +2d4 to ME and PE
• Adds +2d6 to MA and PB

2. Transference: The superbeing can temporarily transfer the Icon to someone else for a duration of one melee round per level of experience. Once transferred, the superbeing cannot use the benefits of the power, with the new host being granted them for the duration of this ability. It uses one melee attack/action to transfer the icon, with skin-to-skin contact being required at level one, but the icon can be transferred at a distance of one foot per level starting at level two.
The power can also be permanently transferred if the character expends two melee attacks/actions, and it must be done by skin-to-skin contact. Once the icon is transferred, the superbeing cannot act as a host to the icon again, even temporarily.

3. Copying: The superbeing can also copy the image of the icon onto someone else at the same ranges and using the same number of attacks as listed above. In the case of a copy, it does not grant the wearer of a copy enhanced abilities; rather it allows the superbeing to communicate with the wearer telepathically and keep track of the wearer of the copy psychically, allowing him to locate them easily. The wearer must remain within range of the superbeing (within a range of the superbeing's ME attribute number X100 feet) or else have the icon symbol disappear and lose psychic connection with the superbeing. The superbeing can have one copy active at a time at level one, plus one more at levels 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15. The icon will only remain on the wearer for a maximum number of melee rounds equal to the superbeing's ME attribute number, plus one more at levels 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15.

4. Limitations: The icon must be clearly visible, such as on the arm, leg, chest, back or face of anyone who has the Icon or a copy of it for the abilities to work.

5. Other Abilities and Bonuses: +10% to Art:Drawing and Literacy skills and +20% to Cryptography.
