I also feel uncomfortable with some powers (too powerful maybe? stressing your suspension of disbelieve?), but the reasoning behind them - narrative control for players - is a principle i believe in.The straight jacket which is called 3.x is perfectly fine. It gives the master nearly everything he needs... but thats the problem... as soon as players learn the rules, you are forced to search in many many books to find an appropriate rule, just to proof your players, that you used them correctly... and in the worst case, you don´t find any and have to worry about doing it wrong.</blockquote>
