Machine mimic [Major] by Iczer

'Thats me alright...the all in one entertainment system. I'm a loudspeaker, portable DJ, and even coffee machine...eww...hold on...I think I'm getting a fax...'

The character has the ability to mimic the functions of everyday machines, by contorting his body to create bio-mechanical structures to mimic their form. This shapeshifting is as minor as possible, to avoid stress on the body, and is in response to nearby machinery rather than whim.

Range: 60 feet

Duration: A mimiced form can be held for one 3 hours per level.

Number of functions: The character can only mimic one device, plus another one at levels 3,5,7,9,11,13 and 15.

Effect: The character shifts and twists form so that his body can duplicate the effects of a single machine. the character remains flesh and blood, and for the most part resembles his normal self. however the changes that do occur may be..disturbing.

Mass limits: The character is limited by mass. At first level, he may only mimic things that mass as much as himself. Every level, this increases by 25%. If the machine in question requires fuel or matter to function, then the expenditure of a HP acts as a single reload for the item (this is a GM call though.)

Information limits: The character normally cannot copy the information in a mimiced device. at 4th level, if the character touches the device to be mimiced, then the character copies the information as well. this does not grant the ability to decipher codes and passwords though.

Damage limits: if the character is mimicing weaponry, the maximum damage possible is 20 per level, or the damage of the weapon mimicked.

Defensive limits: if the character mimic's power armor, (normal armour does not count as a machine), then Any AR gained is natural, but starts at an AR of 11 at first level, and then rises by one at levels 2,4,6,8,10,12 and 14. If the device provides a force field, it's maximum capacity is 15 points per level.
