[ORE] Re: Ghost question

If you don't buy Duration or Permanent, your Weapon Backpack will
disappear the turn after you create said Backpack. You won't even have
time to put the weapons inside of it!

With 2hd, the capacity will be 100 lbs, total.

There was a Godlike character that could hide stuff - I forget who.
I'd make this a Miracle instead.

Faithful Extra Dimensional Pocket. 2hd
[4 points per die, for 8 points total cost]
This power allows the PC to create a permanent extra dimensional
pocket in which they can store up to 1,000 pounds of whatever they
want. Once created, it can be accessed as often as desired, like
creating a sort of invisible, intangible luggage. Time passes normally
there. This pocket moves with the PC, like an bag dragged along by an
obedient caddy.
U +2, Booster +1 (Mass), Permanent +4, Exhausted -3, Attached to Ghost
-2

If the PC has to reach in to get things and it takes an action, then
you can add an If/Then for and additional -1. Changing Permanent to
Endless also drops the cost by 1. A very picky GM might demand a extra
Useful quality of Invisibility Attached to the power so that no one
can see the Pocket, even when you look at the PC reaching into it. A
somewhat picky GM would let you get away with using the Subtle extra
to do this. I wouldn't be that picky.
