Q. Swineburg, Age: 41, Height: 6’8”, Weight: 310lbs , Gender: Male, Race/Ethnicity:formerly black, Eyes:fiery orbs, Hair: long goneAbilitiesStr:16, Dex:14, Con:20, Int:12, Wis:18, Cha:10CombatAttacks:   Melee:+11/DC:21, Ranged:+4/DC:14, Unarmed:+7/DC:17, Mental:+15/DC:25 Defense:   Evade:+9/DC:19 Dodge:+9/DC:19, Shield:+9/DC:19Initiative: +2/12Speed:20ft run (see weaknesses)/ 60ft mountedSaves:   Damage: +12, KO: 27, Stun:22, Hit:17   REF: +2, FORT: +5, WIL: +4Villain Points: 4FeatsRide by Attack*, Dodge, Mounted Combat*(+1defense), Attack Focus-Lance, Villainous Surge*, Skill Focus-RideCombat Skills Melee attack: 7Range attack:2Unarmed attack: 4Dodge: 5Evade: 5Shield:5SkillsBonus: Str+3 Dex+2 Con+5 Int+1 Wis+4 Cha+0Craft-armor: 9 (5), Handle Animal: 14 (10), Intimidate: 4 (4), Jump: 6 (3), Knowledge-Chivalry: 4 (3), Language: 2 (French, Greek), Listen: 9 (5), Perform-poetry reading: 15 (10), Profession-pig tender: 11 (7), Ride: 15 (10), Sense Motive: 8 (4), Spot: 9 (5), Survival: 9 (5), Swim: 5 (2)PowersTransform +7 (half, touch, continuous, reflex)By touching someone, even w/his lance, the Porcineer can turn a person into a pig of equal weight.  His victims keep their human minds, but lose their thumbs and power of speech.  If they have super-powers they keep any a pig could reasonably have.  Anyone else these swine touch also risk being transformed. Fortunately anyone who resists the transformation once becomes immune to the power for 24 hours.(Extra: continuous, triggered-lance attack, contagious; Flaw: range-touch, limited-swine only, limited-1save/day; Source: mystic; Cost 3pp/rank)Nauseate* +7 (full, hearing**, instant, Will) By reading some of his favorite poetry the Porcineer nauseates anyone who can hear and understand him (including transformed swine).  It takes him a full action to recite a passage and he makes a perform check versus the targets mental defenses.  Those who are “hit” must make a will save or become nauseated.  (Extra:range-hearing**, area, mental, perfoming-attack***; Flaw: restricted-vocal, ineffective-req.comprehension, slow, restricted-area-only, restricted-centered-on-self; Stunt: power immunity; Source: mystic; Cost 2pp/rank)Super Skill (Perform) +5 (none, personal, permanent)The Porcineer is an excellent reciter of poetry(Source: mystic; Cost 1pp/rank)Armor +3 (none, personal, permanent) The Porcineer wears a set of conquistador armor complete with frilly collar and peacock feather in his helmet.  His armor also includes a non-standard issue, metal pig-mask.(Flaw: device; Cost: 1pp/rank)Amazing Save- Damage  +4 (none, personal, permanent)(Flaw: device; Cost: 1pp/rank)Weapon (Lance) +7 (half, touch, instant, damage)(Cost: 1pp/rank)WeaknessesLover of the Arts- If the Porcineer hears any music or poetry he must make a Will save (DC:15) or be dazed until it ends.  Weighed Down- Due to the pig flesh stitched to his body, the porcineer is considered to be carrying a medium load when he’s unmounted.  He suffers a -3 to all actions, and can only move 20ft. Disturbing   In or out of the pig suit, Montgomery is an unpleasant man.Appearance/Personality/ Background The Porcineer appears to be a very large man, dressed as a conquistador with a metal pig-mask on.  Beneath this mask is an actual pigs face that has been stitched over his own, and in fact there is pig-meat sewn over his entire body.   Beneath this is a tall, but thin man whose demonic possession has caused all of his own skin to melt away.  The Porcineer is usually saddled on a gigantic boar appropriately named Big Pig.Montgomery loves the arts, and often gathers priceless works for his collection.  While out on the town he will often read his poetry to the public.  Those critics who can’t appreciate his fine compositions are transformed into swine.OOC CommentsOne of my “Day from Hell” Villains.  I’m forcing my players to deal w/about six  super villains who are simultaneously rampaging through differrent parts of the city.  They have lower power caps, but have lots of nuisance powers, and minions.  Hopefully, they’ll deal w/trying to stop the spread of the contagious transformation and get the people back to their original forms. This guy’s gotta lotta custom feats and one pretty complex power:Feats:Ride-by-attack: like Move-by-Attack, but only mounted.Mounted Combat: like aerial combat or underwater combat.Villainous Surge: like Heroic Surge, but w/Villain Points.*Nauseate Power: This is based off Fatigue, but since it’s better it starts off at 3pp/rank.**Range= hearing: This is the equivilant of range sight, in that it’s not limited by range increments.  Unlike line of sight it works on “line of hearing”.  So it could work over the phone, but not in space.  You get the idea...***Performing Attack:  This means that he uses his perform skill instead of a normal attack.  Pretty straight forward.  I’ve seen no precedent for it, but it seems legit to me- swapping out one skill+power set for another."Restricted: vocal","Restricted: centered-on-self", and "Area" all seem necessary to describe a verbal power.    Basically, anyone who can hear him speak and understand him is considered “attacked.” So, if you plug your ears you’re immune.  What I need to do is write up a description of “Voice Attack” like there is for gaze attack.  Then I won’t have to make these overly complex powers.</blockquote>
