Power sharing [minor] by Iczer

'Hey dude...I'll be needing to borrow that power later."

The character possesses the ability to form a kind of connection between himself and selected others. When the character forms this bond, he gains the ability to swap powers with that individual. The switch is always completely voluntary, and must be consented to by both parties, and either party can cancel the switch at any time. If the connected individual is unconscious or asleep, the character can swap out powers without his consent.
The character has one such 'buddy' at first level, a character of his choosing who has a reasonable facility to consent. Essentially, he can choose friends, allies, comrades and teammates. He cannot select people opposed to him in any sense. He gains another 'buddy' at levels 3,5,7,9,11,13 and 15. He can swap one minor power at a time, plus one other minor power at levels 2,4,6,8,10,12 and 14. He may substitute one Major for two minors. He can also choose to donate his powers to an unpowered human, but this transfer inflicts 2d4 damage per minor power transferred (the target may save vs this transfer at 12+ to reject the power AND the damage). In any case a non powered human will reject the power in 2d4 melee rounds. Lastly, any power swapping must take place while the characters are within 120 feet of each other.
