Rifts Freezer WIP

Work In Progress

Freezer

Converted from The Rifter #19

An uncommon variant of the Burster, the Freezer uses cryokinesis to control temperature and condense moisture in the air into ice or snow. Human Freezers descended from the Inuit, which may explain why they are so in touch with their natural environment even outside of frigid regions; the animals and land itself seem to accept them as a guardian. They tend toward detached, "cold" personalities.

Build this as a Burster (TLPG, p. 18) with the following changes:

Burster Variant: Remove the Blaster Edge from Arcane Background. Remove Everything Burns. Replace Firewalker with immunity to cold. Apply an ice/snow Trapping to Fiery Aura, Fire Mastery, Flame Bolt, and all Burster iconic Edges. Change Quirk to aloof snobbishness; other complications are unchanged.
Hypothermia: The Freezer can safely lower their body temperature at will for 1 ISP per hour, +1 ISP per additional willing target within Smarts range. This lets them simulate death (Healing vs. the Freezer's Psionics to realize the truth) and become invisible to infrared detection.
Ice Weapons: The Freezer can create anything from a dagger to a great-axe out of thin air. They must choose smite as a starting power, and have the Psi-Blade and and Psi-Weapon Manipulation (A&M, p. 33) Edges.
One with Nature: The Freezer has the Beast Bond and Woodsman Edges, Survival d6, and Vow (Major; Respect and protect nature).
Power List: The Freezer lacks some of the Burster's overt psychokinesis, but is more attuned to the environment. Rank permitting, they may choose from arcane protection, barrier, beast friend, boost Trait†, burst, darksight*, deflection*, detect/conceal arcana*, empathy, entangle, environmental protection, fear, havoc, mind link, protection*, relief*, smite*, warrior’s gift*.

Blaster: 4 pts
Everything Burns: 2 pts
Firewalker: 12 pts
Powers: confusion, farsight, fly, light/darkness, telekinesis

TOTAL 17 pts
