Loan Likeness

Loan Likeness [minor] by Iczer

'I wanna be just like you...'

The character can synch with another target. when he does so he gains the target's appearance (strictly cosmetic) and in addition can swap life energy from one target to the other. If both targets are willing, any damage done to one, is divided evenly amongst them. Any defensive powers(immunities and resistances) that one has, both can take advantage of them. Likewise, if one heals he may transfer the healing along the link to heal the other.
The pair can communicate with each other over this link. While actual information is not exchanged, feelings and impulses are. simple concepts such as 'I see him hiding over here' or 'I'm out of ammo' can be felt, but not abstract information ('meet me at starbucks in 20 minutes' is out but 'I need a coffee' is acceptable).
To synch with someone takes 1 melee round and a willing target. The synch continues as long as the synched target is within 60 feet +10 feet per level. If the character wishes to break the synch then it drops instantly. If the partner wishes to break it, he must make a saving throw (14+ ME bonus applies) to do so. He may try once per round (or simply leave the effective range).
If the target is willing, the character may instead loan his likeness to the target. The effects and abilities involved remain the same.
