Oasis:

Oasis [Major] by Iczer

'I love what you have done with the place'

The character can transform a section of land into a beautiful, verdant garden.

1) Oasis: 1 Hectare (roughly 100 yards by 100 yards) per level of experience transformed into fertile soil. Desert or arctic environments produce oasis's of one quarter size. On water it is half sized, but takes the form of a low, flat island (not possible in water more than 800 feet deep.)
The oasis is populated by local flora wherever possible, or by any flora of the character's choice if none surrounds the oasis. The land affected conforms to the contours of the local terrain, but attempts to smooth it out wherever possible. It takes 2 melee rounds to create an oasis, which lasts indefinitely while the character resides there, but halves it's area every 15 minutes while he is gone (every 5 minutes in an arctic, desert or urban landscape) Plants grown in the area wither and die when the power ends.
Note: The oasis does not displace standing objects.

2) Abilities while in Oasis: While the oasis stands, and the character is in the area of affect he enjoys the following abilities:

• Rapid regeneration: Heals at 5 times normal rate.
• Improved health and fitness: +4 PE +25 HP and +25 SDC
• Heightened awareness: Knows the presence of all objects and people in his oasis. (even if absent) cannot be surprised or ambushed in his own oasis.
• Plant manipulation: Can animate and control plants as per ability #1 of plant control (HU2)
• Immune to exposure: Can siphon water and grow abundant vegetable matter to eat and drink.

3) Urban jungles: In an urban or city environment, the character's abilities are diminished. It takes twice as long to create his oasis (4 melee rounds) and it suffers a reduced duration (halves in size every 5 minutes he is gone). On top of this, it is a mere 30 feet wide, plus 5 feet per level when created. Despite this, it has it's uses. It can block a street, or can grow a tree large enough to reach low window ledges.

4) Other abilities: Innate botany skill of 40% +5% per level, and identify plants and fruits at 65% +5% per level. +10% to prowl while in his own oasis.
