[QUOTE="Jemal, post: 6084930, member: 9026"] [MENTION=9191]Wrahn[/MENTION]: as it says under variable "you must place descriptors on your variable limiting it's scope". Dreams are basically unlimited. It's like saying 'the power to do anything'. There are a few suggestions I have. A: Use just that list. That might be enough of a limit to variable if it were 'various create/summons, plus a couple specific 'dream powers'. B: Add further descriptive limits such as 'only what the GM says someone nearby is dreaming of' Nearby being maybe a mile or so? C: Make an actual array of powers. This would be more limited but cheaper and easier. Exchanging a rank 5 variable for a 25 point array would net you 11 separate abilities. (Or 5 dynamic ones) OR D: Pay more for a truly 'unlimited' variable effect. Also a note on Create: Most of the create stuff can be made with a single use of the power. Both of your examples would fit under the same power, create doesn't need to be a specific 'object' when it's chosen. It just has a specific size limit. Multiple variations of it are only required if you want some to have different extras (Continuous, movable, impervious, stationary) on each one. Rank 8 Create with Precise and one extra modifier would be 25 points and be able to make anything up to 250 cubic feet. That's a lot. Or if you don't need any of the extras (They're all fairly circumstantial) you could just go with rank 12 Precise create for a whopping 4,000 cubic feet and if you 'need' any of the modifiers for a particular construction, use a power stunt. *NOTE: I would always suggest precise because without it you're limited to simple geometric shapes* [/QUOTE]
