Imprint [minor] by Iczer

"let me introduce you to a friend of mine"

The character can copy the form and function of a nearby target, and store it for later use.
The character gains the following from a target when he imprints it.

  • Any mutations they possess
  • Any adjustments for alien environments
  • Any adjustments for alien form
  • Any experimental side effects
  • Blood type, body structure and ethnicity

(Borrower seeks to infiltrate a known Triad group. By targeting one of the members, he becomes Asian, though he gains no tattoos, nor does he know Cantonese. He looks the part otherwise. Later he targets his Pal Jury-Rigger, but unknown to him, he's a changeling, and Borrower becomes grey, pasty and hairless. Jurry_rigger has some explaining to do later on).
The character can hold a number of "imprints' equal to 1 per level. He can always default to a known imprint. He can retain any imprint he knows for as long as he desires. It takes one melee round to imprint on a target with constant contact, or one minute if the target remains within 15 feet +5 feet per level. Turning this power on or off requires a melee action to perform, and changing to one imprint requires turning an active one off.
