Power Shuffle

Power Shuffle(major) by Mr. Twist

"This isn't a fair fight, but I might be able to fix that."

Power Shuffle is a great equalizer when it comes to unfair fights amongst the super powered crowd. What the power does is randomly redistribute super powers among people. A 'power pool' is created using all the super powers of people within range, and then each power is randomly redistributed among the targets. When the redistribution occurs, there is no difference between major or minor powers. Unofrtunately, this ability also doesn't differentiate between friend or foe. In some cases, this could mean bad news.

Range: 200ft radius around the user at level one. An additional 25ft are added to the base range at every additional level. Also, after fourth level the user can adjust the radius in 20ft increments, with the minimum being 40ft.

Duration: 2 melee rounds per level of experience. The power continues even if someone affected leaves the area of effect.

Activation: 2 attacks per melee are required to use the power. This power can only be activated once every 2 minutes(8 melee rounds).

1. Shuffling with Supers only

This option limits the redestribution of powers to only those people who have donated powers to the power pool. It is an even distribution, so a super with only one power may end up with more.

2. Shuffling with Everyone

This option creates a power pool, but distributes the powers among every valid target within the area of effect. This means even the average joe could end up with a power or two. In cases where there are more targets than powers available, the people who donated powers to the pool get a power before anyone else.

Notes:

The exact method of redistribution is left up to the GM/players. One decent option is for the GM to take pieces of paper and write down all the powers available, then put them into a hat/dice bag/whatever. The players and the GM roll percentile dice to determine the order in which the powers are picked out of the container. The powers are then picked in succession until there are none left.

Psionics, magically bestowed super powers, and natural abilities are not affected by this power.

Racial super powers(except for racial heightened senses or enhanced attributes) are affected by this power.

Technologically granted abilities are unaffected by this power only if it's the device itself that has the power and the person just manipulates it.

This power is not added to the power pool and redistributed.

No matter what level the original user had a specific power at, it becomes level one when redistributed. The only exceptions are if someone gets one of their own powers back randomly. In that case, it stays at the level it was.

Well, that one could probably use a bit of cleaning up.
