Spiracles

Spiracles (minor) by Senator Cybus

Instead of lungs, the super being breathes through spiracles, a series of small apertures running down both sides of the length of his body. This weird mutation grants him the following abilities.

1. Body Breathe: The character cannot be strangled or suffocated in a conventional manner; only by completely covering at least 90% of his body in an air tight covering can an opponent deprive him of oxygen.

2. Buzz: Just like some of the insects that possess spiracles, the hero can produce a loud buzzing noise through the precise modulation of exhaled air; an annoying noise when produced by a bee or a house fly, it’s close to deafening when made by something the size of a man.
Anyone within 10 feet (3 m) of the hero while he’s buzzing will be unable to hear normal speech, or much of anything else in the immediate area - any sound under about 80 decibels will be drowned out. Additionally, the harsh, droning din is distracting; the skill performance of anyone present will be reduced by 10%.
Characters with the super power of Heightened Sense of Hearing will find the buzz unbearable. For every melee round of exposure, they will lose 1D4 S.D.C. and must save vs. pain (14 or higher; M.E. bonuses are applicable) or pass out from the aural agony.

Bonus: Play Musical Instrument: Spiracle: 35% + 5% per level of experience. The hero can, by turning down the volume and more delicately controlling the timbre of his buzz, produce a pretty decent tune, sounding something like a giant harmonica.

3. Increased Endurance: Due to the way in which the spiracles direct oxygen straight to every cell in his body, the super being can exert himself for longer than a normal human without fatiguing. Game Masters should treat the character as having twice his stated amount of P.E. when it comes to determining how long he can move at his maximum rate of speed or carry/lift his maximum weight load.
