Re: [ORE] Shared/Gestalt Extra?

Honestly, I think that is probably best handled as a power source -
instead of being a mutant or a science experiment or using magic, you
draw your superpowers from the collective unconscious or whatever, and
have the restrictions just tied to that source instead of doing it as
a seperate power or whatever.
