Meld form [Major] by Iczer

'You two really need to come together on this one...and here I am'

The character has the bizarre ability to transform into a sort of amalgam between two other characters.

1) Conditions: For this power to work, the character must identify and target two individuals within 30 feet of the character and expend 4 attacks by concentration. At the beginning of the next melee round, the character undergoes his transformation. both targeted individuals must remain within 30 feet of the character. Any resulting transformations remain for 5 minutes per level of the character.

2) Alter shape: When the transformation completes, the character finds himself with the cosmetic appearance that resembles an amalgam of the two targeted individuals. The character remains flesh and blood, despite his new appearance. The transformation also affects clothing, up to 8 lbs, but will not affect technological items. Note that this makes an extremely effective disguise when targeting 2 'normal' people.

3) Power gain: The character gains one minor power from both targeted characters, or a major power that features in both targeted characters. He gains no SDC or attribute bonuses from these powers, just their raw ability.

4) Altered attributes: The New shape has 50 SDC over and above the character's normal SDC. The resulting character has physical and mental attributes that are the result of the average of all three individuals, or the character's own, whichever is higher.

[Example: Max Power, who has this power, flight: wingless and x-ray vision, targets his teammate RokJok (Aps Stone Leaping) and the villainous cyborg 3V17. Max transforms into a caricature of the two, with stony cybernetic limbs. He gains Hardened skin and Ex-PS for the duration of the power, and he gets to use the average of all three's attributes. As his targets are a cyborg and a stone guy, he can count on some pretty good strength]
