Mid-Air Acrobat

Mid-Air Acrobat (minor) by Mephisto

"I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky"

This odd power enables the character to perform impressive acrobatic skills while in the air. This can be a case of a leap off the side of a building, while free falling from a plane, or being thrown by a strong teammate. While in mid-air, the following bonuses occur:

+1 Initiative in mid-air at levels 3, 6, 9, and 13.

+1 Attack per melee at levels 1 and 10.

Gains Automatic Dodge, with +2 at levels 4, 8 and 12.

Gains some special abilities. They are: Mid-Air Flip Throw, Flip Up, and Centrifugal Redirection.

The Mid-Air Flip Throw: This is when the character comes in contact with someone in mid-air and attempts to throw them by grabbing them then creating a circular motion and tossing the enemy into something before the character hits the ground. Normal bonuses apply to the Flip Throw and it does 3D6 damage, plus 4 per 20 mph of the victims speed based on the height and trajectory of the throw. This move costs the character two attacks and can only be performed once a melee round.

Flip Up: This move is when the character is underneath the opponent, then flips up and over so the character is on top, and controls the movement of the opponent. It requires a roll based on the difficulty; 4 for easy, 8 for mediocre, 12 for normal, 16 for challenging and 20 for difficult. A Flip Up costs the character one attack per melee, and works with Initiative only; can not be done as a defensive move. Being on top means the opponent has to work to get back in a dominant position, and will be -2 on combat moves while in mid-air.

Centrifugal Redirection: This move involves an oncoming force being propelled into another force. It's a basic grab and toss while still in a circular motion. The character is +2 to strike with the initial grab and +4 to strike with the redirection. It's two attacks in a row, and considered a pretty basic move.

Other Bonuses: +4 to Roll with Punch/Fall/Impact, Fearless of Heights and +2D6 to S.D.C.
