Inflaming Touch
Inflaming touch [Minor] By Iczer
'I don't know why buster fell down Boss. the little guy just socked him the jaw. I mean, what sort of damage can a little guy do anyway?'
The character has a kind of field that surrounds his body, that discharges on touch. It transmits incorrect information to the target's brain, fooling it into believing it is much more wounded that it is. Essentially this is a kind of specialized mind control, a type of cross between bio-manipulation and illusion.
Any target struck by this character in melee combat must make a saving throw Vs psionics when struck. The effect feels twice as bad as it really is, essentially feeling like double the normal damage has occurred. The illusionary extra damage is recorded separately. Even invulnerable characters or heavily armored character's feel the pain of this character's touch, suffering normal damage if otherwise immune or protected by armor.
The illusionary damage fades after 6 minutes per level of the character. A character 'killed' by illusionary damage merely passes out from the shock.
