[Powers/Horror] Leech build and related questions.
I'm working on a power that includes two different versions of the Leech advantage. One is basically copied from the version of Leech the succubus in Horror has. The other is more original. Basically, it's supposed to be an life-draining kiss.
First of all, I want it to be stopped by worn armor, or even clothes, but ignore natural DR. I'm pretty sure this would be a limited limitation on Contact Agent, but I'm not sure how much to limit it by. Thoughts? Second, I want it so it only works by a kiss, though the kiss doesn't need to be mutual, or even on the lips of the person being drained. What would a limitation like that be worth? For that matter, what would be the best way to handle kissing an opponent in combat? Would it be a technique, and if so, what would make the most sense for it to be based on? A grappling skill? Sex Appeal? Erotic Art? Finally, what's the best way to handle an individual that has both forms of the Leech advantage this power grants? Alternate attacks? |

For using both forms, alternate attack seems like a strong approach.
Kissing an unwilling opponent would be grappling, just like a vampire's bite.

Re: [Powers/Horror] Leech build and related questions.
Contact Agent (-30%) covers skin contact with the victim while Blood Agent (-40%) covers contact with exposed wounds and mucous membranes of the target. A quick kiss (unsuitable for Leech) would probably be the greater of Brawling or DX while a sustained kiss (suitable for Leech) would probably require a grapple in close combat (rolling against the greater of DX, Judo, or Wrestling). It would be unnecessarily expensive to have two different forms, as the one with Contact Agent is capable of being used in a kiss (the kiss is just flavor at that point).
