PHYSICAL PSIONIC POWER: ECTOPLASMIC DISGUISE

This is an enhanced control over ectoplasm that gives the psychic the ability to cover and disguise their facial features. Ectoplasm is created as normal, with the pseudo-substance rising from the pores of the skin. Instead of forming wispy tentacles, the ectoplasm covers the face. As it solidifies, it becomes a sort of putty-like material that can be mentally shaped and molded by the psychic. Once the desired shapes and features are achieved, the psychic can make the ectoplasm look like real flesh. The best way to create an ectoplasmic disguise is for the psychic to look at a photograph or a frozen video image and concentrate on that image while the ectoplasm automatically molds into that shape/image, including skin colour. Not only can the psychic create a mask to hide their facial features, but they can also change the shape and bulk of their body with ectoplasm, adding a pot belly, muscles, a tail, or an extra eye, etc.

An ectoplasmic disguise is especially effective at a distance, but does not hold up under close scrutiny. The ectoplasm always has a bit of a 'dull' and 'pasty' appearance, regardless of skin colour. If punched, cut, scraped etc. the ectoplasmic covering will tear away and, in a matter of seconds, noticeably reform to repair the damage. The psychic must also concentrate on maintaining their disguise, which means their attention is divided and hampered. While the disguise is being maintained, the psychic suffers the penalties noted below. To lose these penalties the psychic must relinquish some of their control over the disguise, with notable results, like features obviously shifting, drooping or even melting. If the character is seriously injured, knocked unconscious or slain, the ectoplasm melts away, turns into floating globules and disappears into thin air in a matter of seconds.
