Alter Physical Body:Gender(Minor)by Stone Gargoyle
Also refered to as "Gender Bender"
This strange power alows the character to morph their body to alter their apparent sexual identity.
1.Genetic Androgyny: Genetic samples of the character come up inconclusive in determining sex, and the character has a generally androgynous appearance and voice.
2.Morphing Body Topography: The character's body can release testosterone and develop masculine traits, growing male sex organs at will. The character can also release estrogen to take on female traits, the male organs retracting and female ones replacing them, with the chest area becoming more pronounced.
Attacks:Uses 1 melee attack/action to convert to a different sexual appearance.
3.Limitations and Penalties: The character is actually neuter, merely mimicking the appearance of a sexually active person. The sex organs are incapable of reproduction. They can become aroused, however.
4.Bonuses:
+1d4 PB
Heals 3 times the normal rate
Adds 10% the the Disguise and Impersonation skill
Sadly this is the only one I have time to post at the moment.

I would say that the hero would be have their sex chormizons as a triple instead of a pair, reading XXY. This is an uncommon occurence which most often always results in sterility.
And that if you use the option "KittenStomp's Tables of Doom" that they take pessedent over the disadvantages that come with this power.
Look, this power has limitations because it is a minor. The eggs a female would produce would be destroyed in the conversion process, that is why they are sterile. It is not because they have an additional chromosome. The power is based on the god Hermaphroditus but not limited by the typical definitions of a multi-sexed person. People are free to mess up the concept as they want, but it will be messed up if not used as written. I do not see why people always want to get around the limitations of a power. That is what defines it. And no disrespect to Kittenstomp, but his tables are optional and I do not have to consider them when designing a power. How I wrote the power takes precedence to how I play it.
