[QUOTE="Thondor, post: 6117728, member: 31955"] Still looks like a 3 to me . . . Tractor beam would be neat. Though it would be a little powerful at rank 2. You also should have some limitation -- can it only pull things towards Doctor Nexus? Hmm, I'm having trouble understanding your point here. Considering it doesn't really give him much benefit, you could just use Strainpoint expenditure to avoid 'death' and use your morphic nature as the 'colour' to explain how you survived. I think he needs to have a Talent that indicates that he does not have normal human physiology, and while he has almost no control over his form (currently this is something he could develop as he advances) having an alien physiology can protect him in some circumstances. Yes for strength - probably not for tractor beam (in the later case it seems to broad.) Some hard-tech 'purpose' examples: [I]Tractor beam[/I]- Nexus's tractor beam can effect almost any non-liquid substance. It's primary purpose is to pull metallic objects, it acts one rank higher when doing so. [I]Artifice Armour-[/I] Nexus' armor can repel all sorts of physical attacks but is especially good at deflecting bullets. It acts as one rank higher protecting him form bullets. Sounds viable :) We would have spent some time tweaking Harbringer . . . but I believe we are moving on. [/QUOTE]
