Help Me Write Up A power: Empathic Transfer

[Quantum]

This ability was inspired by the old Buck Rogersd TV series episode called "Planet Of The slave Girls".

In this episode (yes I know it's an older TV series but I still like watching it on the rare occasion so sue me) there was a character played by Jack Palance called Kaleel. He had the ability to use his followers fears to fuel his power he called "God's Kiss" in which when he touched a person he turned them into Zombies. This also seems to be something that other supernatural entities can have as well, in that they are able to draw upon the emotions of people, bith negative emotions such as hate and fear to positive emotions such as love and respect, in roder to fuel their powers or just to make them stronger.

So I would appreciate some help in writing this up as a power for the d20 System please. Specifically, I'd like to see it written as a specific power for 3.5 D&D as well as Mutants And Masterminds.

I'm asking because I'm not sure how to do this.

Thank you.

Not sure who moved this from the general forum, but if it's a request for a 3.5 rule, probably shouldn't be in the 4e fan creation forum...

In any case, I'm not sure how one would go about creating this specific power, but I'd suggest a name change since Empathic Transfer is already a psionic power.

And Jack Palance was awesome as Kaleel!

Well I'd watch it so I had a better idea of what your getting at. but I cant seem to find it. Reading your post it just seems to bring up wtf are you talking about.

It seems that whoever has the power would eater use it on someone already frightened or need to succeed an intimidation check first. then use the power to turn people into zombies.

Then again a power like that could end your game, if it's a daily not so much, if it's an encounter; you"ll probably have a PC with a hord of zombies.
If an enemy has it then you probably got a zombie adventure on your hands where a few of your players become zombies. so you may want to incorporate a save ends.

As for a 3.5 rule; make it into an equipment with a power like 4e. Or an infernal pact feat with a demon.

Are you looking for a psionic power, a spell, a monster ability or what?

I'm not really clear on what you're after, sorry.
