Ungodly Strength

Ungodly Strength (minor) by Stone Gargoyle

"Good god, you ARE strong."

The hero has the ability to sap strength from godlike beings (Immortal category Godlings, Avatars, Demi-Gods and Fallen Demi-Gods and Godlings).

Effect: The hero draws on the raw power of the godlike being, reducing it to normal strength leve4ls and raising his own strength category (becomes Extraordinary in the presence of an Avatar or Fallen Godling or Demi-God and Supernatural in the presence of a Godling or Demi-God).

Range: The godlike being must be within a radius of the hero's ME number in feet to be affected, plus 1 foot per level.

Duration: Energies may be drawn for the hero's ME number in melee rounds, plus one melee round at levels 4, 8 and 12.

Attacks: Locking onto the energy stuns the hero while he absorbs it, costing him two melee attacks actions and his initiative for that melee round.

Saving Throw: The god affected may make a saving throw to resist the effect (16 or better for those with Extraordinary strength, 14 or better for those with Supernatural strength, plus 1 at levels 4, 8 and 12. ME bonus applies). A successful saving throw means the god is unaffected.

Other Benefits: While the strength bonus is in effect, the hero will heal at twice normal rate.

Penalties following end of duration of strength bonuses: Once the enhancement duration ends, the her suffers from withdrawal penalties due to its loss, his strength returning reduced to half normal attribute points for PS. These lost points are regained at a rate of 1 point per melee round. During this recovery period, the hero will be -2 to all combat moves and -5% to skill performance. He will be unable to use the power again until the lost PS points are recovered and cannot drain strength from the same individual for 24 hours for Extraordinary strength targets and 48 hours for Supernatural strength targets.

Sensing Targets: The hero can sense the presence of godlike beings and other Immortals for a radius of his ME numberX10 feet, plus 10 feet per level.

Other Bonuses: +1d4 ME
