'Ughhh..mind control hurts like a biatch'

The character has the ability to resist psychic (and to a lesser extent toxins and magic) by sacraficing his body mass, effectively creating the conditions for resistance from his own fleash and blood.

Effectively, whenever the character fails a save vs psionics (against a psionic power or a pseudo psionic super power) he may inflict damage upon himself rather than submit to the effect. This burning of flesh and matter inflicts as much damage as half the save result required. (most psionics need a 16, so this inflicts 8 damage)

Toxins may also be negated in this fashion, as can diseases, and many effects of magic. The character, upon failing a saving throw, burns off as many HP as the save requires.

'You think that hurt punk?'

The character has the ability to exert his will over his otherwise frail human(oid?) form. The character gains an attribute 'Will' which is equal to his MEx10 +10 per level. The character may expend this will on the following tasks:

  • May spend will 1:1 to enhance his strength for a single action or feat of strength (may double his PS)
  • May expend will to absorb up to half the damage from a single attack
  • May expend will to shrug off penalties to strike/parry and dodge as well as skill % for one melee round. combat penalties cost 1 will per point of penalty. Skills cost 1 will per 5% skill performance restored. attacks are returned at 3 will per attack regained.
  • May be used to shake off mind affecting magic or psionics, by expending will equal to the saving throw requirement.

Will recovers at a rate of 1 per minute.

Other bonuses:

+2 to save vs psionics and mind control
+ 1d4+2 ME
+15 SDC
