Shrink: Subatomic Universe Transition (Major) by Stone Gargoyle

Similar to the Shrink power in HU2 main book page 286, with certain differences. The character can shrink with no limit, but once becoming a subatomic size will actually transverse this universe and enter into a subatomic realm.

Mass Adjustment: Mas is always reduced with size. This includes all clothing and up to 50 ibs of equipment, but it will shrink body armor and power armor as if clothing.

Subatomic Transversion: The character shrinks to a subatomic size and enters a subatomic realm, continuing to shrink from what is considered by the inhabitants to be "giant size" to a size equal to that of the locals, landing on a subatomic particle mass "planet".

Only use this power if you are planning adventures into a microscopic realm. GMs might want to set a limit on how long the character can remain shrunken and appropriate penalties.

Possible limiting factors might be that the hero has limited control of the size he becomes, having a 01-80% chance of becoming the right size on his first attempt of the day and there being a -5% penalty cumulative upon successive attempts. I am also in favor of making a power loss if reaching minimum size lasting 2d4 days or weeks, during which time the hero cannot return home or use this power. Of course he is unable to shrink smaller once taking the size of a subatomic universe native anyhow, as this is his maximum limit in size reduction.
