Again, I was very careful in how I presented these house rules. Not a single major or minor point sprung from the air Ex Nihilo. This one is reinforcing a basic setting trait regarding how powers do and don't work. As most PCs are members of a team that supplies their equipment, this is also generally rolled up into the Benefit advantage referenced in the clarification immediately preceding this clarification.squirrelly-sama wrote: ↑Wed Feb 03, 2021 5:38 amThis seems needlessly spiteful. I could understand it not working on objects you don't normally carry but everything in the hero's typical kit should basically be considered to not be harmed by normal power use. Reaction powers are already stupidly expensive for very little actual benefit and this is just adding on to it just because. No reason, just "because".That Sullivan Guy wrote: ↑Tue Feb 02, 2021 8:08 pm Immunity from Own Powers — This is NOT an assumed aspect of the setting for clothing and carried items. If a character has a power that is destructive to their own wardrobe (Flame Aura or Giant Form, for a couple of examples), they need Device: Feature 1 —Uniform doesn’t suffer damage from uses of the wearer’s powers, or at the very least a power-based feature of the same effect (getting it through a device is more easily explained away in a superhero setting). The Precise modifier on powers will keep characters from destroying carried objects (or harming carried passengers) if such is also an obvious risk from their powers.
...I would really ask that you not try to ascribe motives ("spiteful," "No reason, just 'because'") to people you don't know and have never met. It's really kind of rude, not to mention factually inaccurate.
Scary is a bit unbalanced since it pretty much just applies to EVERY intimidation check. Provided you aren't doing it over the phone or something.
How indifferent to circumstances are you when a player tries to apply the Attractive advantage? The logic is the same, it's just the nature of the source cause that changes.but also does not apply to people or situations which (in the GM’s opinion) would not be influenced by your appearance or physical displays.
