Pressure Expansion

Pressure Expansion (minor) by Mephisto

The character has the unusual ability to, with a thought, increase the pressure of gasses that are trapped within a physical form, such as cans, bottles, etc to the point where the container will explode! This applies to CO2 tanks, Acetalyne tanks (for welding), Ammonia tanks, etc. The pressure is increased roughly 10 times the normal safe value for that container, so that explosions or simply busting the tank is entirely possible.

Range: 100 feet (30 m) plus 20 feet (6 m) per level

Saving Throw: None

Rate of Use: Each use of the power counts as one of the characters attacks and has an immediate effect. The gas will stay super pressured until the pressure is released through some natural event, such as a release valve.

Power Applications: The applications of this power can be pretty exhaustive. In a grocery store, the soda cans can be made to explode to either create a distraction, or after thrown, they can act as grenades of sort, exploding and spewing their soda everywhere (same with beer cans). In garages and workshops, the Acetalyne tanks can be made to explode, and in science labs all kinds of gasses can be compressed dangerously to make potent bombs.

Character Bonuses: None
