Re: [ORE] While I'm consulting the list - help with more generic powers

Paul, do you demand that a PC who can shoot flames from his hands (Attacks plus Burns) has to buy Immunity [flames]? This seems a bit too rules-lawerly to me. And I could easily see a Pyrokinetic who can create flames with his mind or ignite objects but who could still be burned by fire. In the latter case, would I have to buy Harm, and Immunity [flames] with and If/Then (only his own flames if they happen to shoot out their body's immediate vicinity)? Again, too picky for my tastes.

Also, I hope he's immune to fire, because he's just dropped a huge bomb right on his own head. The game doesn't assume automatic immunity to one's own powers, as far as I can tell. Controlled Effect would help here.

Yeah, it lacks any Duration extra, so it is one shot per activation.

Wouldn't he need to declare and activate it each round?

I figure I'd do a separate thread, since this is potentially less interesting to the group than the quartet of toddlers with Tier 4 powers. ;) I'm gonna need some help for some of the power mechanics for some more mundane stuff too...

First up - damage auras/offensive armor. In this case it is flames. We're not necessarily looking for a radius effect here (though the player wants to be able to flare it to do damage in a radius, but that's probably just), but instead more of a "If you touch/attack me, you automatically get hurt".  Here's my first attempt

Wreathed in Fire (6)
  Attacks Extras and Flaws: Touch Only -2, Engulf +2, Penetration +1, Radius +2

4 Hard dice: 48 Points

Because he didn't take it with full power only or the like, I imagine that means he can dial in the Radius if he wants? Like have it be 1 yard radius one round, and then spend an action to make it go out to the full radius another? And once he activates it, it just keeps on doing 4 Shock and 4 Killing to every hit location of everything nearby?  I didn't give it Burn, because I figure once you leave the area of affect it probably doesn't keep hurting you - let's be honest, fire this intense (we're looking at slagging steel plate type heat) is going to rapidly burn off anything likely to keep burning for any length of time, and it isn't like it coats you in napalm.

Does this look about right?
