Torus: [Minor] by Iczer

'I mean like..I've got this hole in my chest'

The character has the ability to open a gaping hole through his torso as small a a baseball, but as large as 4 feet wide (which expands the outer regions of his body to accommodate.

Defensively: The character can use this to avoid the worst of torso type injuries. Opponents not making called shots (say to the head or leg) suffer a -2 to strike this character, and cannot score a critical.

Offensively: this can be used to trap an opponent's weapon. This is an attack timed to coincide with an opponent's thrust. if the character uses this power to 'dodge' an incoming strike, he makes a second strike roll for free. if this strike roll exceeds his opponent's original strike roll, then his weapon (or his arm) becomes grasped shut in the now almost closed hole. The opponent needs to roll a D20 and add his strength and then compare it to the character (who makes the same roll). If the opponent is higher, then he wrenches free otherwise...the character is free to whale on him with his free hands. The closed torus can grasp sharp weapons safely, but not 'energy weapons.

Movement: The character, when expanded to maximum width, looks like a humanoid donught. while comical, it does allow him to roll at 150% normal speed.
