Self Sacrifice

Self Sacrifice (Major) by Stone Gargoyle

" I may die here today, but if I do, I'm coming after you."

If the superbeing has time to prepare (one full melee round) prior to an attack he knows will kill him, such as in a fire, explosion, bombing, firefight, electrocution, or other event leading to his death, the superbeing may summon an alternate self from another quantum reality/timeline. His alternate self may save vs. such summoning/displacement (12 or better, PE bonus applies). If the alternate self is successful, the superbeing must try again with another alternate self.

Upon successful summoning, the superbeing shifts dimensions with the alternate self for 1d4 melee rounds, after which the superbeing is pulled back to his own quantum reality/timeline. He can attempt to save vs. returning (16 or better, PE bonus applies) but runs the risk of temporal erasure as a result (30% chance).

Attacks: Uses one action to attempt a summoning for each alternative self called; if successful, the superbeing can perform no other actions for one full melee round.

Number of Alternate Selves/Quantum Duplicates: The superbeing begins able to summon up to his MEX1000 duplicates and is not limited in how many he may kill off per day. After this initial number is reached, however, the power will stop working for 24 hours. After 24 hours, the superbeing will begin generating his ME number in duplicates in alternate timelines per day, at a rate of one per hour) which accumulate until killed off.

Effects of the death of a Quantum Duplicate: The superbeing gains 1d4 HP and 2d6 PPE from the Quantum duplicates he sacrifices on his behalf. If unused, the points bleed off at a rate of one point per hour after gained, losing 1HP and 1 PPE point each hour.

Reappearance: The superbeing will reappear at a random location within 4 miles of where the summoning takes place following his reported death. The location will be one familiar to the superbeing, always be secluded and in the presence of no witnesses.

Powers and Abilities of Duplicates: The duplicates are essentially the same as the superbeing, but there is a 30% chance they will have different superabilities or no superabilities at all.
