Planetary Devastation
This is posted in response to a thread that mentions the lack of planet killer type powers. The damages here are probably way too high.
Planetary Devastation (Major) by Stone Gargoyle
The hero can create seismic pulses which can trigger earthquakes and other effects.
1. Open Fissures: The hero can create seismic pulses which cause existing cracks and fissures to pull apart. This allows him to ignore body armor and structural resistance factors when inflicting damage if there is already an existing crack in the surface of what he is attacking and do double damage if rolling over the AR.
2. Creating Quakes: Sending a seismic pulse into the ground in an area of potential seismic activity, such as a mountain range formed by tectonic plates, will trigger an earthquake. The hero can cause seismic activity that causes 2d4X100 points of damage, plus 1d4X100 damage per level, for a radius of one mile per level at the center of the quake, with each mile extending outward from the quake outside the center taking 1d4X100 less damage (so at level 15, the damage at the center of the quake radius will be 16X100 damage to structures within a radius of 15 miles, with the next mile radius outside that area taking 15d6X100 to structures, decreasing gradually until structures 19 miles from the center only suffer 1d4X100 damage).
Limitations The power only affects surfaces of an inorganic nature by touch and those organic beings, animals and plants buried, submerged or otherwise encased in them. The damage to the structures will cause objects to fall and do damage to targets on or below them.
3. Creating Explosions: By directing the power toward a combustible or unstable substance, like an explosive or other chemical compound, the superbeing will cause it to explode. This includes vehicles and mechanical constructs like robots and power armor.
4. Cracking Planetary Cores: If directing the seismic pulse into the ground of a planetoid or asteroid which has a core in range of the hero's power in miles, the planetary core can be affected. The planetoid can be caused to break apart, wiping out life as the planet is caused to shift orbit and its tides become erratic as earthquakes and volcanoes ravage its surface.
