Message: <blockquote data-quote="jkason" data-source="post: 5524776" data-attributes="member: 2710">Somehow I had it in my head that area was a default shape, and other shapes cost points. Actually, I'm still a bit confused looking in the book, since areas seem to have 'range ranks' attached. If it doesn't cost any more, a cone would be nice. If not, a burst is fine.I was pulling the effect names from the Dazzle sample, which is all I'm really going for. There, they list it as 'One degree of failure leaves the sense impaired (–2 penalty). Two degrees leave it disabled (–5 penalty) while three de- grees leave the sense unaware: The target automati- cally fails Perception checks involving the sense, and everything effectively has total concealment from that sense.'  So would I just list that as 'impaired/disabled/unaware'?That's fine. Mostly I was just looking for a close / melee damaging ability. Maybe I could link it with a Move Object limited direction effect: if he hits, the electrical burst has a chance to throw someone back (since, honestly, he's not going to want to be in melee, anyway)...Would 'cameras' be a better limitation on the remote sensing? i.e. he can see through electronic devices designed to see. I think the wording of the other made it sound like he could view a room through a toaster, which certainly wasn't my intent. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />On the teleport, is 'electrical lines' better (I believe that's the wording of the medium in the book), and if so, could I make a Permeate alt (probably with suffocate immunity) for conductive materials? The idea wasn't that he can teleport from any piece of metal to another, but rather that he's transmitting himself through power lines for the long range stuff and through, say, a doorknob, to get from one side of a door to another. There would always have to be a continuous pathMy idea was that Terry's subconsciously manipulating electrical impulses in folks' brains so that they're more receptive to him. He doesn't have the control to actually mind control folks or even have real emotion control, just make himself seem more charming than he would be without his abilities in play.</blockquote>
