[QUOTE="Rybaer, post: 1448457, member: 118"] Okay, first going back to Velmont's character. How about we handle the spider swarm power like this - give Tarentula Alternate Form (spider swarm) +6. This is a modified version of the Alternate Form power that gives you Clinging at your power level. This particular Alternate Form only costs 1pp/level. Basically, it's the same cost as the Clinging power with the flaw as you originally had it, but now the Alternate Form is the primary power. One thing that I think may need changing is with the Drain power. You took the flaw: full power only. I'm having difficulty thinking of any circumstance under which you would not want to use full power for this, thus not making the flaw much of a drawback. An energy blast with this flaw is appropriate (say if you wanted to damage a door's lock but not blast the door out of its frame). I'm just not seeing the same thing with the drain attack. Do you have a different take on this power? Radiant - Jorgi looks pretty straightforward. Don't see any problems. I haven't checked the math, but I suspect it's probably fine. I'll probably enforce the drawback: disturbing pretty strongly. A -5 reaction modifier is pretty harsh. While you may not be horrifying in the zombie sense, the aura about you is very discomforting to people. How about adding a static field in a 5' radius around your body...just enough that it makes other people's hairs tingle...in addition to the little shocks you can give them on contact? How's everyone else coming along with their characters? Just curious...and eager to see em. Let's go ahead with Mimic's suggestion for the city name: Coast City. It's sufficiently generic. I'd been thinking something like Bayside, so I guess we were going along the same lines. Locals are called Coasters. [/QUOTE]
