You are capable of transforming yourself into a strong and powerful metallic form. You will be much stronger in this form and be able to perform extraordinary feats of strength, but will move slower.
When active, this power increases your strength and ability to withstand damage dramatically. You will be able to pick up and use many environmental objects (such as cars and telephone poles) as weapons. However, you will move slower (and thus be easier to hit in combat). This is a toggle power, and consumes 3 Magic Points per minute.
While active, if the character is in a location that contains heavy items (such as a car or telephone pole), those items will appear as being able to be picked up. Once picked up, most items can be used as weapons. Whether or not the item is thrown or used as a melee weapon depends upon the item; cars will be thrown, for example, while telephone poles can be used to smash people. Once thrown, a heavy item can be picked up again and re-used.
Thrown items use the character's Thrown Weapons skill. Melee weapons use the character's Melee Combat skill.
Cloak of Steel grants a Soak bonus of 10 points to all damage types. However, the character will suffer a defense penalty of 25%. Further, movement while under the effects of this form costs 4 Action Points. The character is unable to enter water squares.
Going by the sound, the Wyrm Master would have guessed a wrecking ball was being used on the other side of the barricade. Soon the barricade crumbled and a lone Divine Champion stepped through the debris. Her skin appeared to be coated with metal. Shotguns and rifles went off at once, but the angel did not even flinch. The next thing the Wyrm Master knew, the Myrmidon snipers were fleeing.
"Screw them," the demon muttered, summoning pets to attack instead while the angel proceeded to rip a telephone pole straight out of the asphalt with one hand.
Then, the Wyrm Master cursed as he watched the tentacles rising up through the ground hammered straight back down with sickening squelches. But the demon had worked out the angel's weakness: slow movement. As the Champion squashed the last tentacle, the Wyrm Master sneaked in and hit her with his Defiler poison.
"Good luck chasing me, angel!" the demon taunted, taking to the air with his wings and laughing at the simplicity of his victory.
A second later, the Wyrm Master was killed by a flying police car.
