Support Cables

Support Cables (Major) by Stone Gargoyle, based loosely on an idea by Znbrtn

The superbeing has fibrous organic cables which he can either extend to use as arms or wrap around his arms for added strength.

1. Cables: The character has fibrous cables resembling externalized veins which he can retract into his arms when not in use.

Length: Extends reach when in use by six feet, plus one foot per level

Width: 1-3 inches in diameter (the character decides)

Cable PS: Half that of the character rounded up,so if the character has a PS of 15, the cable will have a PS of 8

Cable SDC: 40; if a cable is severed or destroyed (loses all SDC), the character suffers 3d6 damage, loses that one cable plus the extra melee attack provided by the pair. The cable cannot be recreated for 2d6 hours.

Damage: When a cable is used to strike (whip), it does 1d6 damage per cable, with both cables able to be used against a single target simultaneously as a single attack.

Bonuses: Adds an additional attack per melee; the character is +3 to strike or entangle with the cables.

2. Arm Support: The cables can be wrapped around the arms to add the strength of the cables to that of the character, so a character with 15 PS and 8 PS of the cables could wrap his arms with the cables and have a PS of 23. In addition, this combined PS is considered Extraordinary. Added PS increases the damage bonus to strikes the same as the character's normal PS does. Any damage while the arms are wrapped comes off the cable SDC first, also.
