The character can subsist on metal. A healthy diet should contain around 12 ounces of steel, 24 ounces of iron, 48 of aluminum or tin, 6 of zinc or copper, or 2 of precious metals per day. More is better.

1) Leech food: The character can eat by contact, his touch inflicting 6d6 damage to any metal items he can touch. The character can feed as an attack against metal doors, support structures, robots, cyborgs and characters with APS metal. Such an attack ignores any natural AR provided by the metal in question. The character inflicts less damage on precious metals or super strong metals (titanium, kisenttite etc)

2) Metal metabolism: The character weighs a good 50% more than would be expected, dropping his acrobatics and gymnastics by 5% and reducing his swimming by 25%. He enjoys an additional 1d6x10 SDC and a natural AR of 12. He is also considered ferrous for the purposes of magnetism.

3) Metal defense: The character can absorb metal as it hits him. Bullets typically shatter and absorb into his flesh, while swords and other metal weapons corrode and dissolve on impact. Metal weapons greater than 12 ounces inflict no damage, while weapons larger than that inflict half damage (but take 3d6 damage on themselves as they strike)

4) Metal regeneration: Every 15 points of damage the character inflicts on metal, restores one to the character (or 2 HP).
