[QUOTE="Samnell, post: 640996, member: 130"] Ok, here's my first embarassingly naive newbie question. :) I'm working on creating a shadow teleporter with maybe a few other small powers (I'm thinking mostly an alternate shadow form and maybe a shadow energy blast) off the origin that he got injected by some unscrupulous government/corporate group with the distilled essence of darkness in a liquid form. The concept's still nebulous, but I could use some help picking out which powers would work best with him. Teleportation, obviously, but how much alternate form (shadow) is worth it? It's awfully expensive and I don't know that I'm going to get lots of use in there. Incorporeality is nice and fits with the concept, as do some immunities, but if I ran the whole ten ranks I could get I've thrown in a lot of points and I run out of immunities that fit pretty quickly. Plus lots of immunities would be redundant with shadow form anyway. Additional incorporeality doesn't seem to give me much beyond the basic ability itself either, so is a lot of shadow form worth it? I see the teleport ability being limited to going through shadows a valid flaw, or is it trivially limiting enough that's more of just a flavor effect? Would an incorporeal creature take damage if it accidentally teleported into a solid object? With these points I'm not sure if my concept's too much for it, or too small. :) [/QUOTE]
