I only "really" spent 1 power point on it.Second, it has both the Personal AND the Full Round Action flaws on it.  The reason the rank may be off is the Boost description isn't very clear on how to price the boost, especially in regards to Arrays and Containers. I figured the safest way to do it was to price it at the 3-per-rank tier, which is defined as "a narrow group of traits". Technically the Containers and Arrays are a single Power, but they act more like a narrow group of Powers.Plus, I'm not entirely sure that I can use all 30 of that boost anyhow. There's not a lot extra I can really add that would truly increase the effectiveness of his melee combat. I still havn't finished statting out the power, but I suspect most of the points are going into making Parry very Impervious. The original 3.5E D&D power removed his darkness manipulation powers (thus being part of an array with said powers) but granted powerful weapon enchantments (Vampiric, Blurstrike, Keen, Defending, and several extra enhancement bonuses). This is the closest I can come to replicating that.Anyhow, was that the only problem you saw, or simply the most glaring? I'll be quite happy if that's it; the boost really isn't a key part of the character. It's a "second form" of Shikai (like Rukia's [spoiler]"dances"[/spoiler], or Byakuya's [spoiler]"Annihilationscape" Bankai form[/spoiler]), and it's only for when his primary abilities aren't being at all effective. Considering how versatile they are, I'm hoping that won't happen very often, if at all.</blockquote>
