[QUOTE="Agamon, post: 1112466, member: 184"] Okay, you're wrong on the 'comic-type' thing. For starters, even four-color comics have an explanation for powers working with costumes, unstable molecules, or whatever. The Hulk's pants stayed on because the Comics Code wanted it that way, even though it defied logic in a way that wrecked the versimilitude. The thing is, this isn't a four-color comic type of game. The Legacy universe is kinda like Marvel's Ultimate universe, where things are a little more realistic. Basically, it is real life plus super-powers. Most powers do lethal damage. People die (and don't miraculously return to life later on). The powers themselves defy logic as we know it, but how they react with the environment doesn't. That said, Aaron won't have as much problems as you think. He can control the fire shield to the point where it won't burn his clothes. Elementor overemphisized what his earth form does, he doesn't grow hardly at all in earth form, he just gains mass, the clothes tighten a bit, but won't automatically rip unless they were unusually tight to begin with. The clothes will even remain on in water form, unless he slithers out of them or otherwise stretches his body while in that form (they will get soaking wet though). Only in his air form do the clothes automatically fall off. All of his Alt. Forms are only roughly humanoid, so there's no embarassment while using his powers sans-clothing (which is more than Wasp and Giant-Man can say in the Ultimates). Max has more of a problem in that every time he becomes the Minotaur, he'll shread all of his clothing. There may or may not be developments inthe future that change this, but for now, it's a roleplaying challenge he'll have to deal with. As for the Mimic power, ask Aaron and Jaya if it isn't invasive. :) Seriously, that's the way the power works. Like many other powers, you need to make an attack and the target gets a save. It's game mechanics, and it would be too powerful if he could copy anyone's power anytime at a whim. And if you're read what Jaya and then went and looked at her stat block to see what she's talking about and can't figure it out, that's because I purposefully left a couple things off of there... ;) [/QUOTE]
