Protean Armour

Protean Armour [Minor] by Iczer

'Nothing up my sleeve..presto...armour plating.'

The character posesses a type of organic armour just below the surface of his skin, that obeys his commands.

1) Natural AR of 10 and +2 to PE

2) Grow armour: By concentrating and spending an action, the character causes the armour to emerge from beneath his flesh and form harder, ridgid plates on his body. this grants him an AR of 15 but halves his PB score. retracting the armour takes 1 full melee. 3) Shape armour: By concentrating on his armour, which must already be on the surface, he can cause it to change form providing the following benefits. it takes an action to sacrifice any AR and another to reverse the changes.

• By sacrificing 2 AR, he can fortify his fists and joints, creating hardened points of impact and adding +4 to bare hand to hand blows
• By sacrificing 1AR he can make his armour smooth, allowing sharp weapons to slide off. cutting and slashing damage is reduced by 2 per level
• By sacrificing 2 AR the character can use his natural armour to augment his strength, raising his PS to extraordinary
• By sacrificing half his Spd and -4 PP he may form superheavy armour, which has an AR of 18 and halves the damage of blunt impacts
• By sacraficing 4 AR he may form wings which can be used to glide at 12 MPH plus 1MPH per PE. gliding in this manner is clumsy.
• By sacrificing 1 AR the character may form horns and spines that add 2d4 to body blocks and tackles, and inflict 2d4 damage per action when being grappled.

Other bonuses: +6D6 SDC
