Luck (Leadership) ? Inspired power is like leadership, maybe.
1. Ah yes, I did make a slight miscalculation there. It's the 2-point per rank version of Morph, reduced to 1-point per rank by a two-step increase in activation time after factoring in the +1/rank cost of the Duration extra.......so it should be a standard action at that cost. I did mean to have it take a full action, though, so I should make the flaw Action -3 instead, to lower the cost by a point and spend that point elsewhere.Two things I am wondering about...
Wouldn't that be a Standard Action rather than a Full Action (starting from Free Action)? You could probably take Action 3, to lower the Cost from 2 to 1.
I think you make a damage save using the duplicate's Toughness bonus (replacing your own bonus (which shouldn't be any difference, anyways, since it is a duplicate of yourself), not adding it to your Will save), at least that's what Ultimate Power says.

1. OK, I forgot to re-check your houserules for Impervious, so I forgot about that change, though I remember seeing something about it now that you've mentioned it. Gemini's mind is somewhat fragmented and he's learned to retreat from consciousness for safety in his own mind, retreating from reality for a time, and these factors, combined with his secretive nature make it difficult for others to get a firm grip on his mind or bust into the labyrinthine, compartmentalized segments of his mind where his memories are secured. He only feels truly safe within his own mind; the outside world is cruel, nasty, filthy, unjust, and repugnant to him. He just has to live in it and deal with it until he discovers the full potential of his psionic talents, as the leader of The Zodiac promised to teach him........I have not checked every PP cost, but two things:
- Mind Shield falls under my Impervious house rule, so you will automatically succeed on will saves up to DC 13, not 16.
- Not sure I like the added mind reading. It seems another extra added as an AP with no clear connection to the overall concept. If you would play a psychic, mo problem, but Gemini is already a crossbred of the Mimic and Duplicator archetype. Adding Mindreading is maybe a bit much IMHO,but I will not disallow it.
2. Yes it is a damage save, using the normal save DC (15 + damage), but using a Will save instead of Toughness. The Feedback Flaw says "with a bonus to the save equal to your duplicate's Toughness save bonus." If you check the Flaws section of the Powers chapter, it's made even clearer in the general Feedback flaw's description, where the example makes it clear that you add the Toughness save bonus from your created object/creature on top of your normal Will save bonus. Otherwise it would be worth more than a -1 Flaw. I checked both Ultimate Power and the core rulebook.
FEEDBACK –1 MODIFIER
You suffer pain when a manifestation of your effect is damaged.
This flaw only applies to effects with physical (or apparently physical)
manifestations, such as Create Object, Duplication, Illusion,
Snare, or Summon, for example. If your power’s manifestation is
damaged, make a saving throw against non-lethal damage equal
to the attack’s damage, using the manifestation’s Toughness save
bonus or power rank in place of your own. For example, if you create
a Toughness 12 object and it is attacked for +15 damage, you
must make a save against +15 damage with a +12 bonus (the
object’s Toughness) in place of your normal Toughness save.
I see neither a mention of a Will save, nor of adding anything. If your book entry differs, please post it.
But the actual feedback flaw doesn't mention it...
