Power Drain

Power drain [Major] by Iczer

'Sweet....Mutants. All the taste, none of the calories'

The character can drain the lifeforce from others, using the spoils to take advantage of their superpowered natures.

1) Drain other: The character can select a target out to 60 feet (+10 feet per level), and expend 2 actions. the target must make a saving throw (14+ PE bonuses apply) on a failed saving throw the target loses 1d6 SDC, plus 1D6 per level of experience (half with a successful saving throw). This drained energy slips towards the character in the form of erupted vapours.

2) Spending SDC: Once drained, and the character can drain a total of 50 SDC plus 10 per level before being 'full'. the Character can expend it in the following ways.

• Every 5 SDC can be spent healing 1D6 hp or SDC
• Every 5 SDC can be spent mimicking one use of one of the target's power.

Note: this will require a bit of bookeeping. 13 SDC stolen from Hi-Speed and 24 stolen from Jaegernaught will mean that the character will have limited acces to either of their powers.
Also note: Each power is a one use only thing. One leap, one blast, one superstrength punch etc, but the character can spend more to gain more. for 10 point,s the character could mimic one use of high-speed's super speed, and one use of Jaegernaught's strength for one punch. If a power has a duration longer than an instant, then it has little worth.
Also, also note: The character is able to activate a sampled power as a defensive reaction, requiring no action. he expends the stored SDC, and makes a parry roll at +4. success means the character manifests a defensive power, which fades after being struck.

Other abilities: SDC stored in the pool fades at 1 point every 15 minutes (or 4 per hour. more bookeeping). Once a target has been tasted, then the character knows that character's powers and abilities (but not level or skills).
The character can also expend 3 stored SDC to cancel fatigue for 5 minutes per level, or to gain a +2 to save vs poison or toxins. 3 stored SDC is the equivilant of one meal.
