Launch (minor) by Stone Gargoyle

The superbeing is capable of generating an anti-gravity pulse which allows him to propel himself high into the atmosphere.

1. Anti-Gravity Pulse: The superbeing generates an energy pulse to shoot himself high into the air.

Blast Radius: The pulse creates an energy blast damaging all in range.
Damage: 2d6 to everything in a 10 foot radius; does 4d6 to the ground below the blast.
Range: 10 foot radius. Can be reduced by a foot at levels 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15

2. Launch Distance: The superbeing is hurled 10,000 feet per level

Speed: 200mph, plus 20mph per level
The character is immune to friction and other effects of traveling at high speed.

3. Dangerous Limitations: The superbeing cannot land without help, nor survive a fall from great heights. Unless the superbeing possesses another flight power, he will require a parachute and other protective equipment to survive falling, as well as protection from extreme cold and heat and breathing apparatus needed at higher altitudes.

4. Other Abilities and Bonuses:

Resistant to heat and cold (half damage and duration for the negative effects of heat and cold)
+10% to parachuting skill

Note: Ability will not work as a flight power, as the pulse requires contact with the ground and is only capable of propelling the character upwards. This power works well for allowing the character to intercept a plane, travel to a satellite, or tackle an airborne target
