For Siberian, Physical Immunity without a catch would be unfair enough;  add
claws & All Equal before God, a couple of Speed & Strength powers & your players will weep sweet candy tears.

Too much to throw in one attack?  I'm using Incite Effect: Darkness for it (think Grue from the web serial Worm).

If characters are Blind & Deaf as a taggable aspect, is it fair to then tag that as part of an Ambush action? 

This is a submerged level game with a Sposored Mage (Charon's Greywalker), a Focused Air Channelling Changeling, a gun crazy ex-cop & a mostly noncombatant Changeling skilled in Glamours.  I'm filling in as GM & frankly, 2 blasty mages throwing weapon 5 or 6 is hard to balance around without killing the not so blasty characters.  Hell, as a player I saw just one blasty Mage be a bit of a headache.  This seemed like a good way to level the field for at least one combat.

Currently I'm thinking of Pack Instinct (invertebrates) + Echoes of the Beast + Supernatural Sense as a package to model what she does.  Free actions for sensory stuff & the area effect selective on her Incite cover most of it, as well as Incite's option to prolong effects.

Are those 'affect area' attacks considered to automatically hit, & targets just defend against damage?

Hello again;  thanks for pointing me to this forum.

>>>Supernatural Sense is definitely what I'd use for Skitter's swarm sense. Her senses are definitely more potent than what one sense is supposed to offer, so I'd charge 2 or 3 Refresh for the Skitter package. Either by breaking her senses down into multiple different senses or by charging extra for one extra-strong sense.

The mechanics for Supernatural Sense are pretty loose, so questions of range and the difficulties of rolls will need to be worked out between you and your GM.<<<

The GM is new to the system, too, so we're working closely to get the right balance.



>>>-I don't think Human Guise is necessary because Taylor always looks human. <<<
I was just using that as a cost guide.
>>>Sponsored Magic doesn't really fit Taylor because Taylor isn't a spellcaster.<<<
Agreed;  I can't see her using foci, etc.  Some of the fan made self-sponsored stuff made me consider that route;  the Incite power works better, though.
>>>-If you want an IoP-like limitation for Skitter's swarm, you might want to try out the Limitation custom Power. It's on the list.<<<
Thanks, I'll look at it.
>>>-Be careful with Venomous, its mechanics are a bit vague and given the way you're using it there's a chance it might be unfair.<<<
Venomous was the GMs idea;  he's excellent at balancing things in game, but have you noted any particular problems?

Thanks for the help!

Greetings to the forum!

A forum search didn't turn up much; my search fu here is still Mediocre.  Has anyone given it a try?  I imagine a very high refresh with points shaved off for various limitations, but have no idea what the baseline should be.  All help gratefully accepted.

Thanks in advance.
