Sandcrawler [Major] By Iczer

'Hot? it's only 130 degrees.'

The character's body is adapted for desert travel, making the most hostile terrain a walk in the park.

Bonuses:

Can smell water up to a half mile away per level.

+1D4x10 SDC

+4 PE

Immune to great heat (no penalties up to 200 degrees F) and resistant to fire and heat damage (1/2 damage)

Resistant to desert cold (down to 40 F) but not to cold/ice attacks

Needs no additional water in high temperatures, in fact needs 1/3rd water for a normal human being. can ignore hunger for 1 day per level.

Immune to the effects of glare.

Can move at normal speeds over sand and rocky terrain (+15% to climb rocky surfaces)

Heals at 4 times normal rate when exposed to great heat

has +20% to wilderness survival in a desert environment.

Can dive into sand: This bizarre ability allows the character to move at double his normal Spd when diving into desert sand and skimming across it's surface. he can only go 1-10 feet deep (deeper in a dune) and unless he constantly comes up for air (which he will have to) he will be blind for the trip. he may maintain this speed for one hour per PE point before needing rest.
