Honestly, Matt, you just showed me how powers can be rediculouse, looking at that attack power, it's easy to add the flaw (Limited damage: Shock, maybe switch for "Full Power Only") and not even HAVE to worry about killing people (Which my character IS kinda against...), Thus making it cost less, to gain more... I could also tool it to be able to be used in my light show career also (what's a good lightshow without lasers!) Kill the lethality some more, make it not slow. And these are great responses, it's giving me idea's on how to actually build powers. Right now, I don't think any of our "Themed" characters have any "If/then" flaws, which, come to think of it, means that they don't need a specific trigger to do anything they want (including mine...) It seems that, without the "If/then" flaw, then the power can be fluffed in any way as long as it does the same effect.
BUT, in looking at these... I'm beginning to realize that this may not be the game for our group >.>... Our DM doesn't like Hard Dice or Wiggle Dice as it then turns the game into "Who's got the better numbers," and instead he's just telling a glorified story, he also doesn't like them because then the character doesn't fail... at all... Forever... Dunno, he's not a bad DM, this is just a new system, and I'm not entirely sure any of us know how it's ACTUALLY supposed to work. I'll talk to him about it, and we'll probably have to use ANOTHER session to redefine all of our characters. Honestly, I could find this fun, as this is supposed to be an RPG, and my actions as a character should take effect more often then not... I think we just have to get over our prejudice against wiggle dice (Or "I win" Dice as my group kind thinks of them).
Another problem we have is that we're a group of 5 now... And we only have 2 books... None of which are mine, so I can't "easily" look at a book and learn it myself. That's half the reason why I turned to here... Anyway I'll need to explain to the DM about the mechanics of the game and see if he still wants to run it, I hope he does, but I'm not sure what he'll think of the "Acceptable cheese." Hmmm, knowing this, now, I may also be able to get him to realize why "Self Only" is, in fact, a penalty, and not just a pointless flaw that doesn't do much unless in very specific cases... If my thinking is correct on the matter... That's flaw, much like the extras "Variable" and "Augment." (two of which I'll probably ask about later) that doesn't make much sense in our eyes...
I think there's a lot more thinking that's going to have to go into the game before we can successfully play it.... But I think, if things can get settled, it could be a fun game.
Also, thanks a TON for the help, this is helping me wrap my head around power generation a LOT, but I'm sure I'll have a TON more questions as things progress.
