Temporary split [minor] by Iczer

'I'll hit him high...and low'

The character can split into two beings that share power and remerge at the end of the melee round. The character expends an action to perform this feat. He divides into two beings, each with full HP but only half their SDC and PS scores (and ISP/PPE where applicable) each character has normal skill usage, but powers are reduced by 2 levels in effectiveness when split (or half effect if 1st or second level).
At the end of the melee round, the two forms remerge. Either one folds toward the other, or the character reforms at the midpoint between the two sides. SDC of the two forms are combined into one, and HP are averaged out. If the two sides are separated and prevented from remerging (by being prevented from teleportation, or separated by more than just time) then only one form survives (players choice). The other dies, while the survivor see's his HP averaged with 0 and his SDC halved; his PS and power levels are restored to normal.
