Steam blast [minor] by Iczer

'Hot under the collar? You will be'

The character has the ability to gather ambient moisture, superheat it and then propel it under pressure.

Range: 60 feet +10 feet per level. Moisture is gathered from a 30 foot radius.
Duration: instant
Attacks: Each steam blast counts as one attack
Damage: 3D4+1D4 per level of experience.
Special: The blast strikes with the force of a human punch as well as searing heat. This PS is 14 when used to calculate its 'shoving power' +1 at levels 2,4,6,8,10,12,and 14
Bonus to strike: +4 to strike with aimed shots, +1 wild. +1 to both at levels 3, 6, 9 12 and 15.
Notes: The character needs a source of free standing moisture for this to work. Without it, the character relies on ambient moisture from the air. as such, his first blast depletes the moisture from within his 30 foot radius. The character must either move or wait 1 melee round for normal air currents to sweep air moisture towards him.
Other abilities: The character can simply boil or warm free standing moisture.
