[QUOTE="Michael Tree, post: 106748, member: 1455"] I use them, but modified. Most of them are far too flashy, and make little or no sense. Why on earth would reading someone's mind or mentally moving an object make rainbow light erupt from your crotch? Or, for that matter, cover your body with goo, create the sound of ringing bells, or make you smell like burnt toast. There's also the problem that, to be able to make all your powers undetectable, you need to waste 5 feats. IMC, there is a single "Hide Display" feat, which you can use to disguise any display, at the listed cost. I've also changed the display description to be more general. There are two types of displays, and all powers have both: 1) Attentional display. When you use a power, the attention of people around you is subtly drawn to you, as if by a form of psychic gravity. 2) Perceptual display. When you use a power, it creates an effect that can be noticed by the senses. This can be a shimmering in the air (like superhot air) around an object being moved by telekinesis, or a mental buzzing that could be noticed by people around the user of the power, or one of the other displays, like glowing eyes or ecto-goo, if appropriate. Sometimes this display is an actual physical phenomenon, and sometimes it's purely in the mind of the observer. [/QUOTE]
