Alright, going through guys in the RG one at a time :
First up, Hafrogman :
And first of all, I love your layout, easy to read, has all the costs listed. Very similar to how I write mine. Great.
Also, how'd you figure the 16pp cost with area: Cone(+1/rank) and Fades(-1/rank). Unless you're using Area twice(Which should be listed), it should be 8. (1 for damage, +1 area, -1 fades = 1/rank X 8 = 8.
If you want to put it all into one "Dragon physical traits" 'container' I'll let you just buy Innate for the whole once.
Why/how does he have connections? Do they know who/what he is or are they online connections from the techno-info-dragon?
Also please specify which languages before the game starts.
sorry, you didn't leave me much to nitpick, so Spelling Nazi ho!

Just making sure you know the 'fades' will make this go down one damage rank each time its used, and recharging is an out of combat thing (So the second time you fire breath in a combat will be a rank 7 damage, then 6, etc).

All fine, but you may wish to add Innate to these to represent them being part of you, otherwise they could be nullified/counted by special powers.

How have you gained your wealth? is it stock holdings, shares in a company, an actual pile of gold, people that owe you?

One geek point for the references.
It's spelled summary with an a.

Next up, Voda Vosa!
I believe you overpayed by one for this. It should be 24 (2/rank) + 1/alt power. You pick one of the powers to be the primary (Which you pay for) and then pay one for each additional power (4 others), for a total cost of 28.
What's the descriptor for the damage on Grasp of the Dying? Poison?
Thief of the gods - a few questions/comments about this one.
Is the alt form (Shadow) Identical to the example in the book, and then the rest is added on? Or are the listed powers replacing those in the book, but the descriptor is still 'shadow'?
Also, concealment : Gustatory? So in other words, he's tasteless? lol.. Amusing, but I honestly cant think of a time that would come into play.. if you want to be 'tasteless' I'd allow that for a 1pt feature.. Smell, I can see mattering. If you're going for concealment from snakes, I'm going to be ruling their 'tongue sense' as primarily scent based for this campaign.
Immunities - Environmental effects by itself is 10 ranks, Entrapment is another 5 for 15 total immunity.
Movement should be 4 (Slithering, Wall Crawling 2, Trackless.)
The rest is fine.
Only question here is on 'radiant'. Does that mean sun based, any light based, or things that are specifically 'radiant' descriptor?
Not sure how you got 1 point, Immortality is 2/rank, Limited reduces it to 1/rank, so three ranks would be 3pp.
OK, the big one..

Limited to one task is -2/rank, which would take Quickness to 1/3 not 1/4, making 8 ranks cost 3. You could get 6 for 2, or go up to 9 for still 3.
Only note here is that they actually don't have a Sneak Attack advantage anymore in 3e. I'll allow it as a variant/benefit/whatever, but like the other damage bonus advantages(Throwing mastery, improvised weapons), it won't be allowed to break PL.
The rest is fine.

Walking Dad, you're the next contestant on "The Character is done?"!
First note : You didn't specify trait. I can tell its powerful b/c you have 130pp, but please note it somewhere near the beginning of the sheet.
*Edit: N/m just noticed the variable 1 on all of them, so the answer to my question is "yes, all of those" lol*
For the create object, keep in mind 'close' means you have to form it so that it's in contact with you, not just 'near' you (Unless you apply the * flat modifier)
Why do you Accurate 2 on Create? (A non-attack ability)
Encase - Overcome by damage. I assume this replaces the normal 'save' to recover from an affliction with a 'use your damage ranks to break free' style effect? Or is it a limit that allows others to attempt to break the target free with their damage? Cost would seem to indicate the former, as you don't need a limit to fit it within the 23pt cost limit.
Also the vulnerability is very limited. as your impervious only works against rank 6 or lower attacks, it'll only come into play if you get hit by a rank 6 or lower sonic attack (As a larger one would not be affected by the impervious anyways).
The prejudice is ok, but in this era of weird and crazy stuff, it's about the equivalent of being black today - people aren't going to run screaming or attack you on sight, but you'll likely experience some prejudice.
Finally, you need a motivation complication.

I presume the numbers for str/stam after the / are with the powers, and before are what you paid for? seems to be what the cost would indicate.
What's the description on the various damage attacks? shoot spikes, form daggers, cause stalagmites to jut from the ground?

As I said to Hafrogman, I'll allow you to put these in a 'crystal body' container and add Innate for a single point if you wish.
The abnormal height and weight of 'unusual form' thing isn't a complication, as that's already a built-in drawback of the Growth power.

At this stage, a brief interlude to make a couple notes.
First, as several of you are playing larger characters, Keep in mind that Growth also gives increases to Intimidation, Mass, and size, and decreases to stealth.
Second, seems everybody's taking the combat feats (Accurate, all-out, power attack). I'd kinda expected a couple, but I'd prefer if everybody didn't take more than two or 3 of them.
