[QUOTE="Rybaer, post: 1781599, member: 118"] Hmmm...I suppose if the attack and defense bonuses count as "skills", then it starts to look much better. I'll probably go with that then and just flesh out the rest of the character. We'll work out something to determine what she already has in her "mimicked" repertoire. One thing I liked in the description was how disorienting it was to her opponents to have their exact combat moves used against them. Any idea on how to turn this into a minor bonus? I also like the idea of her using this power to flawlessly mimic specific events, such as a dance or a basketball shot or the like (never play "HORSE" against her for money). I see this more as color for the power than something extra. As long as I don't abuse it, can we just consider this flavor for the power? One other thing about the power. I see it as something that takes longer than a half action (flaw), but also that wouldn't necessitate a specific action on her part to activate (extra). Basically, she needs to watch an action through to completion in order to mimic it, but doesn't need to spent part of her turn doing so. Though they don't exactly fit the flaw/extra templates, I see these as pretty much a wash. Sound okay? [/QUOTE]
