[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 4428233, member: 4936"] Jemal: That's fine. It was kind of an off the wall idea. :) What about the "cellular telepathy" thing? Some of this might be stuff I want to explore later rather than right away, if you allow it at all. As for the shifting, I'm still a little confused. I think it's because we're using the term trait differently. I'm using the word trait to refer to a specific power purchased with the shapeshifting pool. So if I have 30 points in the pool, and 10 of them have been spent on Protection +10, then Protection is a trait. Now, if she loses consciousness, the pool resets, and whatever powers are in it zero out...leaving her only the abilities she possesses outside the pool. If I understand you correctly, she'd still be able to add Protection (in this example) again on regaining consciousness, because she 'learned' to do it before, and thus doesn't need to scan it again. Now, if I'm right there, would she still qualify for a limit on Shapeshift? It seems like, over time, she'd pretty quickly develop an array of abilities she could mix and match without having to scan someone first. It'd be more limiting at first than later. I do suggest that her Morph ability require scanning a subject to imitate them. Is there a power feat or Extra that allows a Morph disguise to copy fingerprints, retinas, possibly even DNA? Or is that reflected just by taking high levels of Morph, and consequently having a really really high bonus to Disguise? :) [/QUOTE]
