Skin deep: [Minor] by Iczer

'I hate the ablative blast (wink wink taalisman)'

The character can add extra oomph to his natural abilities by dropping his PB attribute.
A single point of PB attribute loss can add any one of the following:

  • +1d6 to damage from any inbourne attack
  • Ignore up to 4 point's of a target's AR with an inbourne atack
  • Gain +2 to strike with any single designated attack.
  • Generate a blast of energy inflicting 2D4 damage +1 per level of experience with +4 to strike out to 50 feet
  • Add +5 to PS OR turn PS score into extraordinary.

The character can spend multiple PB points in an action to double up on multiple effects (he could spend 6 PB points in one shot to create the energy blast, add 3D6 to it add another +2 to the attack and making it ignore 4 points of a target's AR.

PB expended in this manner returns at a rate of 1 per minute. No action is required to expend PB points, but the effect lasts for the action that it accompanies only. (The character could blow 4 PB points to smash down a door by adding 20 PS, but the strength fades after the one hit.)

Other bonuses: +1D4+1 PB
