Parasite

The mutant gains the ability to latch onto the “life force” or other beings and transfer some of it to his own body. The exact science behind this power is unknown, but it has been theorized by some of the more adventurous scholars that those with this power can somehow refocus the target’s morphogenic field to regenerate parts of his own body with energy stolen from the target. The fact that sometimes the target’s personality traits become manifest in the mutant might support this admittedly wild theory.   Type: Minor positive.   Effect: The mutant must touch his target to use this power. The target makes a Fortitude save against DC (10 + 1/2 the mutant’s character level + his Charisma bonus). The target suffers 1d8 points of damage, which the mutant receives as healing; the damage is halved if the save succeeds. This can take the mutant beyond his normal hit point total; the excess are lots in 1 hour. However, if the character uses this power more than once a day on a single target, the automatically acquires the dominant features of his victim’s personality, although his loyalties and motivations remain unchanged. This effect lasts for the next 1d6 hours.   Biotech: Implant, Graft.
