Skill Upload (Major) by Stone Gargoyle

The character can upload the mind of any target in range, adopting their skills and personality.

1. Skill Mimicry: The character gains all skills possessed by one target at their current level of knowledge at level one, plus an additional target's transferred skills at levels 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15, though the targets IQ bonuses or those from powers will not transfer. This will give the character the skills but incompletely (-10% skill penalty to transferred skills). The skills will be at the targets percentage levels.

Range: 50 feet, plus 5 feet per level

Duration: Skills can be duplicated while the targets are in range, but will disappear within 2d4 melee rounds once the targets move out of range.

Attacks: Uses 2 melee attacks/actions to mimic the first target, with an additional action for each additional target, and can only be done once per melee round.

Saving Throw: Standard save vs. psionic attack applies to each target.

2. Personality Jack: The character develops the characteristics and personality of one person being mimicked of choice, though has access to the personalities of everyone being mimicked. Acts as a Disguise/Impersonation roll when the skills transfer of 98%. Unfortunately, any insanities are also developed. Switching between personalities takes one melee attack/action.

3. Other Abilities and Bonuses: The character is impervious to mind control, possession and psionic attack.
