Skinflint(minor)by [Stone Gargoyle

"If you punch me, you will be sorry."

The character's skin contains a combustible element that ignites from friction or impact.

1.Create Fire: The character can produce a small burst of flame by snapping his fingers, just enough to light a cigarette or set a small fire. By filling his mouth with gasoline and spitting, however, he can spit flames like a flamethrower for 5d6 damage for a range of up to 6 feet.

2.Immunity to Flame Attacks: The character's skin is ignited by contact with flame. This does not harm the character, merely set him ablaze.

3.Defensive Attributes: All punches, kicks, melee strikes and bullets ignite the skin. In the case of punches and melee weapons, the eruptive fire does 3d4 damage per 10 points of damage the character takes.

4.Other Abilities and Bonuses

+1d4X10 SDC

+1d6 PE

Resistance to energy attacks(half damage)

5.Limitations: Friction ignites the character, so running barefoot will ignite combustible substances,(such as dry grass, puddles of gasoline, etc.), shaking items might ignite them(30% chance), and sex is impossible with anyone not impervious to flame attacks. the character must wear flame retardant clothing or risk having his clothes burn up when getting dressed and undressed, and when bumping into things, getting hit, etc. The defensive attributes only apply to his bare skin, so the character would have to wear skimpy clothing to get the full use of this power.
