Reflex Dampening

The character projects a field of energy, similiar to bio-manipulation, that dampens nerve function and mind/body co-ordination.

1) Area drain: The character generates a field around himself that shorts out the synapses of living things, slowly eroding their ability to function.

Every melee round that any target is within the 20 foot radius, they must make a Saving throw (14+ PE bonuses apply) or lose 1 PP point. The field is uncomfortable and slightly visible as a sphere of shimmering air. It radiates a mild electrical current detectable by sensitive instruments.

Maintaining the field draws one attack per melee from the character while it is up. The field reduces damage from electrical and ion attacks by half.

Lost PP points return at a rate of one per minute of rest. any one who loses more PP point's than their level will suffer extreme discomfort (of the pins and needles variety -10% to all skills, -1 to all combat attributes)

2) Touch: combined with any unarmed attack, the character can add a little extra drain with his attacks. any target struck in melee must make a Saving throw (14+ PE bonuses apply). Failure means they lose access to some of their basic fighting abilities. Physical skills drop by 5% each across the board per failed save, and HTH combat skill drops by one level, as this power cuts the target off from his reflexes and training. Characters at 1st level HTH skill or worse (?!?) instead lose 1 attack per melee .

Characters with one attack per melee will see their Spd and PP attrubutes drop by 2 until down to half. characters dropped lower than this are pretty much already stuffed.

3) Other abilities:

The character is resistant to bio-manipulation style attacks such as life leach, disruptive touch and soem psionic powers (+4 to save).

While not innately resistant to electricity, has +4 to save vs stunning and disorientation caused by electrical and stunning weapons (and suffers half effect).
