Paper Manipulation

Paper manipulation by Iczer

“I’ll show you a paper cut”

Much like the ability to manipulate wood, the character has the ability to charge paper, and paper products with a kind of sympathetic field, strengthening and exerting a kind of telekinetic will over its form.

1) Paper weapons: Any hand held piece of paper, cardboard tube, dollar bill or playing card can be treated as a weapon in this character’s hand. Playing cards, dollar bills and other paper products of appropriate size (even toilet paper rolls) may be flung as lethal weapons, inflicting 2d4 damage. Cardboard tubes and other paper products of equivalent size inflict 2d6 damage (plus PS bonus). Continuous rolls of paper may be used as to entangle or whip opponents (2d6 damage) The character automatically possesses an equivalent WP when wielding such paper weapons. (usually WP blunt, sword, spear, chain or targeting)

2) Paper manipulation: any paper in the character’s hands is subject to a kind of micro manipulation. Creases and folds can be ironed out, or put in. folds can be put in place and precision cuts made. All with the touch of a finger. Simple inking can also be made to paper, changing it’s basic color scheme, and making simple prints (though detailed and complex prints are beyond this ability). The character can also bleach out all pigment in paper, causing all dyes and inks to run out one corner. Lastly, the character can wield paper together, repairing tears, fraying edges and even food stains. With concentration, the character can restore a 30 year old shredded document.

3) Imbue paper: If the character can touch paper, he can imbue it with an extraordinary resilience and strength (as well as sharpness, as can be seen with paper weapons (above). Paper gains SDC equal to the characters ME every level. If worn as armor it provides an AR of 14 (or less if only partial coverage is available). Such amour is comfortable and lightweight, and is immune to incidental spills and immersion in water. Paper that is imbued in this fashion remains durable and resistant to damage, and if undamaged, retains its durability, losing 1 SDC every year. (when SDC is gone it becomes as vulnerable as normal paper.

[A Note on money: Not all nations use paper for their cash. While I cannot speak for many other countries, I do know that Australian Money is a multistrain, heat resistant polymer. Such cash is immune to this power]
