'Come on...hit me...You know you want to'

The character's body radiates energy that is released by physical impact.
Whenever the character is struck by any attack, the trauma releases a wave of energy, reaping retribution.
The wave of energy targets everything within 6 feet (+2 feet per level) and inflicts 2D6 damage (+1 per level of experience) but never more than the damage inflicted.
If the damage taken by an impact or shock is less than the character's PE score, he may choose to refrain from the energy burst. If it is greater than his PE score, he must make a saving throw (14+ PE bonus applies) to resist letting the wave loose. Every 5 points in excess of his PE raises the required saving throw by one.
The released energy is determined at character creation. The character is resistant (half damage) to that energy type.
