[QUOTE="hobgoblin, post: 1795661, member: 24923"] just a small correction about powers taken as a extra. you cant automaticly mix and match them. a power taken as a extra is in fact a extra effect (if you read the stuff about makeing a power). therefor you need stuff like trigger and similar to use more then one effect at the same action. still, a extra can be sustained while a diffrent power as extra (or the power itself) is used. a power as a power stunt on the other hand shuts down when the power its a stunt of is used. this i learned after a lengthy session over on the m&m forum. the wording of the book i fear is messy. they should have more clearly seperated a normal extra and a effect taken as a extra, and allso a secondary effect power stunt and a normal power stunt. as its layed out right now you cant look at the power creation guidelines and the existing powers and just go aha as the descriptions of the existing powers dont cover what parts are secondary effects and what are effects written as extras. as the book looks the power creation guidelines where written after the powers where written and the layout of those entrys was explained. this however may have been cleaned up on the second printing...
