Shoulder Blades (minor) by Stone Gargoyle

The hero possesses sharp bone limbs extending from his back which serve as weapons.

Range: Like malformed wings, the sharp limbs can be extended 8-12 feet.
Damage: 2d6 slashing damage plus PS bonus or 3d6 piercing damage plus PS bonus. They can be used to parry incoming strikes, including those by weapons, but will take half damage when parrying weapons (Cannot parry ranged attacks or bullets).
Penalties when blades are restrained: The bony "wings" make a secret identity a bit of a problem, and passage through normal openings difficult. However, they can be carefully folded, tucked and restrained with minimal discomfort, impairing the hero's mobility as follows: -1 initiative, -1 S/P/D, -1 APM, and speed is reduced by 10%.
SDC: Shoulder blades have an SDC of 10 each and add 15 to the hero's overall SDC. Blades regenerate at a rate of 1d4 SDC per day.
Limitations: Since shoulder blades can be considered a type of malformed wings, they cannot be used for flight.
