[QUOTE="Ltheb Silverfrond, post: 3251936, member: 39867"] This kindof reminds me of a mechanic I thought up for super-fast beings. Eventually, being would want to move faster than even Superluminal, and the only thing faster than that is flat-out teleportation. So the idea I came up with was a "Space-Folding" power, similar to that of the Umbral Blot, but could be utilized as a [i]Non-Action[/i] meaning the user can be anywhere at any time. This basically foils any attacks against the user by anyone without this power. (They just "zip away" as you attack, and zip back after you miss) Said ability would, in IH terms, be at least Transient, but more likely omnific. (As for the monster I gave this to, you don't even wanna know) As for timestop at will, Not really necessary to have at will. Maybe 1/day or 3/day. A strict interpretation of Timestop makes it not-too potent, but a lenient DM makes it pretty powerful. (Personally, for most non-epic games I run, If a mage gets timestop, I'll let him do whatever he wants. Its a friggan 9th level spell. :) Though I would be pretty strict with an epic-level game) Since said snake is a python, perhaps it has a swallow whole power that not only eats them, but displaces them in time or something? Like their gullet is a Time-Portal to some place outside normal time or something. I would say to give it a Venom that Ages foes or stasis' them, but Constrictor snakes don't usually have poison.
