Nothere Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 The Dark Champions book has several "skills" that use powers to mimic the sometimes inhuman abilities dark champion heroes sometimes show.

Lord Liaden Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Soft Landing: Summon garbage truck, dump truck full of sand, or the like; No Conscious Control (only beneath the character when he's being pursued to an elevated location). When trapped on a high ledge, at an open window, etc, the hero somehow always manages to find a vehicle passing below onto which he can safely jump, which then carries him to safety.
