[QUOTE="Calinon, post: 1265192, member: 13737"] You gain an extra power range each time you take the extra. Taking it once allows you to mimic 3PP powers. To go beyond that, you must take the extra again, once for eacn PP increase you want to mimic. I read this carefully, then looked it up on the M&M headquarters, and even found several examples to illustrate. Here's one: [url="http://www.angelfire.com/rpg2/pjd/mimic.htm"]http://www.angelfire.com/rpg2/pjd/mimic.htm[/url] This fellow has expanded powers x 5 allowing him to mimic powers up to 7PP in strength. The reason for this is that otherwise mimicry would be too cheap and too powerful. For one single extra you could mimic everyone, keep their powers, never suffer backlash (nearly), etc etc. I love the mimic ability, but to be able to mimic powerful abilities and such, you need to invest a lot of points. Here's another option for your powers using the same number of power points. Mimic (Powers) +8 [Extra: Additional Attributes(Skills,Feats); All Attributes; Expanded Power(x5); Extra Subject; Flaw: Backlash; Flaw: Tainted Mimicry] Cost 9PP per rank (72 PP) This allows you to mimic everything but abilities, gain all attributes of a class, mimic powers up to 7PP per point cost and mimic different items of the same category from two different subjects. The drawbacks are you get the flaws of attributes, and can suffer backlash. This probably also makes some sense, in that you are not fully trained in your powers. You can always spend points to remove flaws later, or gain additional extras. Make sure you keep in mind that you can only mimic one person a round (mimicry is a form of attack, in that saving throws are made and such). [/QUOTE]
