[QUOTE="Synchronicity, post: 1530667, member: 10070"] OK, the way it seems to work is this. If the ability you are trying to add to the power makes it more versatile within its current parameters, it's a Stunt. What do mean by this? Well, the MnM rulebook states that all powers are made up of one or more Effects. The Effects listed are: Ability, Alteration, Attack, Control, Defense, Illusion, Movement, Sensory and Transformation. An Energy Blast, for example, possesses only the Attack effect; Protection, only the Defense effect; and so on. Judging by the powers it gives you, Alternate Form - Semi-Solid possesses the Attack, Defense and Transformation Effects. (It possesses 2 Transformation effects; both the Alternate Form, and the Elasticity.) This means that a power based on one of these effects should be a Power Stunt for Alternate Form, but a power based on a different effect (Illusion, for instance) is an Extra; it isn't making the power more versatile within its parameters, it's expanding it's parameters by allowing it to do something totally new. Thus, I would say from those above: Power Stunts: Snare [Attack], Natural Weapon (fangs) [Attack], Drain [Attack]. Extras: Swinging [Movement], Leaping [Movement], Clinging [Movement, though bearing in mind the nature of your Form, an argument could be made for making this a Power Stunt], Super-Senses [Ability], Microscopic Vision [Sensory], Super-Dexterity [Ability]. The feats you could probably get at half price - 1 pt per feat with the Flaw: Only Usable in Altrnate Form. --Blindsight, Blind-fight, Darkvision, Improved Grapple, Chokehold, Ultra-Hearing, Penetrating Attack [twice] (Claws). Finally, I'm not sure what the 'Area' Extra is for. This is just my interpretation of what the rules seem to state is the case; by no means be assured that I am correct. I'm sure others will chime in. Hope this helps! :) Synchronicity. [/QUOTE]
