[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 3818760, member: 29014"] It doesn't really matter. You could easily rewrite Emotion Control to only allow one emotion and get them all with an extra. And of course, Deflect doesn't just give slow proj, you actually get to choose your favourite of slow or fast or energy or mental. But of course, let's look at that Limited form of Emotion Control--that lets you choose your favourite of the emotions. Now imagine we had a Variable Power that could give you any of those limited Emotion Controls each round. We're back to the base Emotion Control now, aren't we? Do that with each of the Deflects (and heck, add in the ability to pick more than one deflect if you want or any of the other extras) and you actually have something quite powerful and versatile (fighting a Psionic villain? Put up a mental deflect that hits him. Fighting an energy thrower? Pick that one!). If you limit it to wind wall, that's obviously more limited than the Variable Deflect, and it is actually even more limited than some guy who picks up Deflect off the street because that guy gets a choose of any of the four types (or more than one if he pays for it).
