Storm Lord [Major] by Iczer

'You mess with the thunder, you bring down the rain...no wait..is that right?'

The character can manipulate atmospheric conditios, making them worse, by introducing energy and chaos into an otherwise simple weather system.

1) Manipulate atmosphere: As soon as this power is activated, the sky darkens and it becomes overcast. windspeed picks up 5 MPH every melee round he maintains this. if there is moisture to be had, it begins to rain (or snow if the climate is right) lightly at first, but increasing 10% per melee round. Once per melee round, sheet lightning and the resultant thunder clap randomly occurs. This effect stretches for a quarter mile in all directions per level. It takes no actions to maintain this, though concentration is required. The artificial weather conditions remain for 2D4 rounds after concentration is lapsed.

2) Powers in the storm: After 2 melee rounds in stormy conditions (even one he makes himself) the character gains the following abilities:

  • +10 PS
  • +50 SDC
  • +2 to initiative
  • Double Spd.

3) Bolts of lightning: Once per melee round, as an extra attack, while a storm is raging, the character may direct a bolt of lightning from the sky. This bolt of lightning can be directed at any visible target not under cover. The character has a +2 to strike, and the target has -2 to dodge such an unexpected bolt from the blue. The bolt of lightning inflicts 6D6 damage and the target must make a saving throw (14+ PE bonuses apply) or be knocked down from the blast (lose one action and initiative).

4) Heal from lightning: The character heals SDC when struck by lightning (not other forms of electricity though). Half normal damage that would be inflicted, is instead healed.

5) Other abilities: Resistant to cold (half damage) Immune to electricity. +25 SDC +4 PE.
Keenly attuned to slippery and wet conditions, no penalty to balance or skill use in even the worst driving rain or howling wind, and penalties for handling vehicles in the wet are halved.
Keen senses allow him to see normally and hear normally even in the worst storm conditions.
