I am struggling with a crappy 56k dialup to make this post, so I hope you feel my pain!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> Got it, I'll amend my damage save accordingly.Ack, guilty as charged. How embarassing. I've no idea how I missed that! I've been staring at the screen for a little while trying to see where I can get 8 points...at the moment, I'm out of ideas. I don't want to pare down in any area other than powers, because I've got them just the way I want them, and I don't want to take another weakness because that would be cheesy and irritating. Twelve points of weaknesses is about my limit - that's practically another PL right there! Idealy, another flaw on the power would be good...but I'm drawing a blank on what it could be. Things like Tiring or Heroic Effort just don't fit what I want to do with the character, Obvious and Full Effect aren't really flaws on a power like Super-Speed...does anyone have any bright ideas? Regardless, I'll think on it a bit harder. [EDIT] Hmm, an idea has occured to me. I was mulling over Obvious, thinking 'Well, he already moves at blinding speed, that's pretty bloody obvious.' But then, I thought 'However...' So, here's an idea to account for those 8 PPs. Let me know if it's acceptable.If Christopher went up to somebody and said "Excuse me, do I appear to be glowing to you?", he'll get some very odd looks. He doesn't even tan well, his mutation absorbing the sun's energy in such a way that it seems to make tanning all but impossible for him. However, should the person in question be looking at him in any other spectrum of light than the visible, the answer would be a resounding "Yes! Quite a lot, actually." As a side-effect of his mutation, Christopher's body emits light in the infra-red, ultraviolet, and the rest of the light spectrum which is invisible to the naked eye. He always shows up on devices which allow viewing of such things as a strong emitter of such light. As for the visible spectrum, Christopher doesn't glow...usually. However, when he travels at Super-Speed, he leaves a glowing trail of light bright enough to see by which remains for several seconds (5? 10? 30? A minute? What's a good number?) or so before it fades away, a sideffect of the process in his body which converts absorbed light into kinetic energy. Wasteage, if you will. This makes stealth and hiding from pursuers extremly difficult, unless Christopher wishes to forego the use of his mutant powers during such activities. Would those effects be acceptable for the Obvious flaw on his Super-Speed? Or are they not limiting enough to constitute a flaw?I was thinking any light, so long as it's in sufficient quantities. Is that OK?All fine with me. Thanks for the input, Gideon!  <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=":)" /> Synch.</blockquote>
