"Feel YOUR bicep...It's MY bicep now chump"
The character posesses an otherwise ordinary physique, except when around people with more powerful ones. After 60 seconds of close proximity (20 feet) the character's PS upgrades to match. This progression is slow under normal circumstances but can speed up depending on one's level of....intimacy.
- after 60 seconds, the character starts gaining 1 point of PS every minute until he matches his target, or his target leaves his area of effect. every 5 minutes after this, his PS jumps a category until he matches.
- If close personal contact is maintained, the character gains 1 point of PS every 30 seconds, and gains a category every 2 minutes.
- If the character is struck with a bare body blow [IE not melee weapons] then the character Gains 6 PS for every hit until he matches his target's PS. after that, every blow increases his strength Category one step.
Other bonuses and limitations:
- Character may also snatch other traits of a person's skin and muscle in place of a strength increase. Options include, skin colour, texture, natural AR [if a function of the target's skin and muscle]
- Gains an SDC boost when his PS equals half the target's numerical PS. This SDC boost is equal to 10% of the target's SDC +2% per level.
- Character mimics flesh and blood traits, and cannot mimic characters who are not currently in a flesh or blood form (like robots, some alien life forms and of course those in an altered physical state)
- Duration is for 12 minutes, +2 minutes per level, but this ability will not start winding down if the character remains in close contact (20 feet or so) of the target.
