[QUOTE="jkason, post: 5530952, member: 2710"] Believe I made all the changes. My initial concern was that a burst would be likely to knock out allies electronics, too, so a cone had a bit more tactical advantage. But looking at the others, I don't see a lot of tech, so I changed to a burst. I'm assuming that since its actual effect is nullify electronics, the fact that I've named it EMP won't make using it screw up Tinman's powers from his magnetism complication. Let me know if that's not the case, 'cause then I'd definitely need to change it back to a cone or something else I can control / aim a bit better. Works for me. added note to that effect on both powers. Done. Also realized I had some more points I could spend on that alt (especially since Limited brings down the permeate cost), so I added Penetrates Concealment as another linked ability. So he can 'see' what's on either side of anything he's moving through, but only when he's in that form / moving through something already. It didn't seem to be a big game changer. Question: I was realizing that, with the above addition, Terry has two visual powers for use in scouting. I can't seem to find anything in the book about lip reading. Would that be a skill? It seems wrong to make it a really high Perception check, since generally clueless folks might conceivable have learned to lip read while still missing lots of other things, but I wasn't sure what it might be.
