Parting Glance (minor) by Stone Gargoyle
"I can see through people, though it is not exactly painless..."
The superbeing can literally stare a whole through people and things.
Range: 40 feet, plus 4 feet per level, line of sight. Duration: Instant Attacks: Uses one melee attack/action, but can be maintained with additional attacks to keep the hole open in a person or to drill through thick walls. Damage: 2d6, plus 1d6 at levels 4, 8 and 12. The stare ignores body armor, though it will have to drill through artificial armor for one attack before pushing through the wearer, and then through the armor again, using three attacks. It affects people and inorganic substances differently.
Effects:
- When the superbeing stares at a person, he rips a hole in them which he can see through to the other side. Maintaining the stare causes no further damage but is extremely painful, causing them to save vs. pain (14 or better, PE bonus applies) to avoid fainting once he releases the hole. The hole closes back up to the size of a bullet wound but can be stretched to the size of a quarter to act as a peephole.
- When staring at inorganic substances and surfaces, such as walls, the hole is permanent and the general size of a bullet hole. The superbeing must use this power to drill through thick walls, using one attack per foot to drill through.
