Shrink: Diminuation (minor) by Stone Gargoyle

This is a minor power based on the Shrink power appearing in the HU2 main book, p. 286-87.

Determining Maximum Reduction Size:
01-24% - Size: Six inches - Motionless Prowl Ability: 75%
25-50% - Size: One inch - Motionless Prowl Ability: 85%
51-75% - Size: 1/8th of an inch - Motionless Prowl Ability: 95%
76-00% - Size: Minute speck - Motionless Prowl Ability: 99%
Reduced Mass: The hero's mass/weight is shifted proportionately to size. Weight is reduced by 25% for each 12 inches reduced. At six inches, the weight is four ounces; at one inch, the weight is half an ounce; at one eighth of an inch, the weight is a mere fraction of an ounce; and smaller is virtually weightless. SDC is half even at maximum miniaturization. Speed and strength are inapplicable since the hero must remain motionless to maintain the miniature size, with movement returning the hero to full size.
Limitation: Cannot make any movements whatsoever when shrunk, not even to dodge.
Attacks: Requires 2 melee attacks/actions to shift size smaller or larger.
Penalties to Attackers: Opponents are -6 to strike with a gun, energy blast and most long range weapons, -3 to strike with hammering blunt attacks and punches, and -4 with a kick or stomping attack.
