Custom Powers Master List (Work In Progress)

[Sanctaphrax]

Okay, here's a new version. It's supposed to take into account the suggested changes while duplicating the Image Breaker Power w&m posted recently.

MIGHT OVER MAGIC [-2]
Description: You can shatter magical effects through physical force.
Skills Affected: Might, Fists, Weapons.
Effects:
Disruptive Strikes. You destroy ongoing spells by hitting them. Doing so requires you to roll your Might skill plus the weapon rating of your melee attacks (including Strength bonuses) against a difficulty equal to the spell's strength or complexity. If you succeed, the spell ends.
Parry Magic. You may use your Might skill plus half of any stress bonus you have from Strength Powers in place of your Athletics skill to defend against magical attacks and maneuvers.
Anti-Magic Attacks. You may use Fists in place of Might with this Power, but you receive no benefit from weapons while doing so unless you can wield them with Fists. You may also use Weapons in place of Might with this Power, but only if you are armed with a weapon suitable for use with Weapons.
Skill Over Magic [-0]. When you use your Might (or Fists, or Weapons) skill to defend against a magical attack with multiple targets, you may allow any number of other characters targeted by the same effect to use your defence roll in place of their own. However, you do not benefit from Strength or weapon ratings when using this Power.
Living Counterspell [-1]. When you use your Might (or Fists, or Weapons) skill to defend against a magical attack with multiple targets, you may allow any number of other characters targeted by the same effect to use your defence roll in place of their own.
Superior Might Over Magic [-2]. Add four to your Might (or Fists, or Weapons) skill when using it with this Power.

Damn, it's way more complex than I wanted. Any suggestions for simplification?

[Mrmdubois]

What's the difference between Skil over Magic and Living Counterspell?

Other than that it's not really complicated, you just put (or fists, or weapons) up multiple times more than you needed to since Anti-Magic Attacks already made it clear you could use those.

[Tedronai]

The last clause of Skill Over Magic is not present in Living Counterspell.

[Mrmdubois]

Missed that, thanks.

[Sanctaphrax]

Okay, I now have time to get back to this.

Gathering up the Powers that have been changed lately.

I added my own version of the eight-gate Power because nobody else said to use theirs.

Also, the Venomous upgrade is now available for Natural Weaponry.

Variable Abilities and the revised Might Over Magic are here too.

I've made minor changes to Dangerous Aura, Feel No Pain, and Incite Effect, so they're also here.

To do:

Make it so that even physical symbiotes merge with their hosts.

Allow people to purchase Limitation multiple times.

Revise Extra Appendages to allow spray grapples, and so Superb Coordination isn't strictly worse than Excellent Coordination.

Prepare the new Powers from the other posts for addition to the list.

Fix or get rid of some of the worse Powers on the list.

(click to show/hide)

FEEL NO PAIN [-3]
Description: For some reason, physical injury doesn't even bother you.
Skills Affected: Endurance, Discipline
Effects:
Feel No Pain. You are immune to pain, and suffer no stress from attacks based on upon pain. You automatically succeed at any roll made to endure or ignore your own suffering. More importantly, nobody gets a free tag for inflicting a physical consequence on you.
No Pain, Just Gain. It takes an excessive amount of punishment to put you down for good. You may take an additional mild physical consequence.

DANGEROUS AURA [-2]
Description: Standing near you is dangerous.
Effects:
Dangerous Aura. Whenever another character spends any part of their action inside your zone, this Power makes a Fair attack against their Endurance at weapon 0. The attack occurs at the end of the target's action. This power can be turned off and does not affect the user.
Can't Touch This. Add two to the weapon rating of this Power's attacks against characters that spend their actions grappling you. At the GM's discretion, Stunts and Powers that provide odd methods of grappling may negate this effect.
Avoidable Aura [-0]. This Power makes attacks against Athletics instead of Endurance. This upgrade is not compatible with Mental Aura.
Extra-Dangerous Aura [-1]. This power makes Great attacks.
Super-Dangerous Aura [-1]. (Requires Extra-Dangerous Aura) This power makes Fantastic attacks.
Hyper-Dangerous Aura [-1]. (Requires Super-Dangerous Aura) This power attacks at weapon 2.
Mental Aura [-1]. This power inflicts mental stress and is resisted with Discipline.
Large Aura [-1]. This power affects everyone within one zone.
Vast Aura [-1]. (Requires Large Aura) This power affects everyone within three zones.

INCITE EFFECT [-1]
Description: You can do a thing. A special thing, that cannot be done by most people. Maybe you can control clouds of smoke, maybe you can inflict fear by shouting. Or maybe you can summon the aid of two thousand invisible squirrels. Whatever.
Skills Affected: Any.
Effects:
Incite Effect. Pick a type of effect and a skill that's related to that type of effect. You can use that skill plus two to perform maneuvers and blocks related to that type of effect against anything you can touch. At the GM's discretion, this may also enable Declarations.
At Range [-1]. You may use Incite Effect on anything within your line of sight.
Incite Limited Effect [+1]. (Requires At Range) Do not add two to your skill when using Incite Effect. This upgrade is not compatible with Incite Physical Effect or Incite Mental Effect.
Incite Physical Effect [-1]. You may use Incite Effect to perform attacks that inflict physical stress. These attacks have a weapon rating of 2. They use the same skill as your maneuvers and blocks, but without the +2 bonus. If you have the At Range upgrade, then targets must use their Endurance to defend against these attacks. If you do not have the At Range upgrade, then targets may use whatever skill they would use against ordinary Fists attacks instead.
Incite Avoidable Physical Effect [-0]. (Requires Incite Physical Effect At Range) The targets of your Incite Physical Effect attacks defend with Athletics.
Incite Mental Effect [-1]. You may use Incite Effect to perform attacks that inflict mental stress. These attacks have a weapon rating of 2. They use the same skill as your maneuvers and blocks, but without the +2 bonus. If you have the At Range upgrade, then targets must use their Discipline to defend against these attacks. If you do not have the At Range upgrade, then targets may use whatever skill they would use against ordinary Fists attacks instead. This upgrade does not allow mind control; characters taken out with it are generally overwhelmed with emotion or driven insane.
Incite Potent Effect [-1]. (Requires Incite Physical Effect or Incite Mental Effect) Attacks that you make with Incite Effect are weapon 4.
Incite Protective Effect [-1]. You may use your the skill that you use for Incite Effect to defend against physical attacks.
Incite Restrictive Effect [-1]. (Requires Incite Physical Effect or Incite Mental Effect) You may use Incite Effect to grapple targets within the range of this Power, using the skill that you use for Incite Effect. Grappling with a physical effect inflicts physical stress, while grappling with a mental effect inflicts mental stress.
Incite Mass Effect [-1]. (Requires Incite Physical Effect or Incite Mental Effect) You may make spray attacks and zone-wide attacks with Incite Effect. If you attack your own zone, then you are affected normally by the attack. Even if you lack the At Range upgrade, targets defend against your zone attacks as though you had it. This upgrade does not affect your ability to maneuver, and no penalty is incurred when attacking a zone with it.
Incite Explosive Effect [+1]. (Requires Incite Mass Effect) You may not make non-zone-wide attacks with Incite Effect.
Incite Selective Effect [-1]. (Requires Incite Mass Effect) You do not harm yourself when attacking your own zone.
Incite Persistent Effect [-1]. (Requires Incite Mass Effect) When attacking a zone with Incite Effect, you may take an accuracy penalty (before rolling) in order to extend the duration of the attack. For each point of accuracy sacrificed this way, the attack is reapplied at the beginning of another exchange. You may take actions to extend this effect as though you were an evoker extending an evocation.
Incite Additional Effect [-1]. You may select another effect to create with this Power. You may also select another skill to use that effect with. If the other upgrades that you have are appropriate for the new effect, you may use them with it. You may also upgrade the new effect separately.

NATURAL WEAPONRY [-1]
Description: Your body contains or can produce some kind of weapon or attack.
Note: You have to define what your natural weapons are when you take this power.
Skills Affected: Fists, Weapons, Guns, Discipline
Effects:
Natural Weaponry. Your body contains a weapon with a rating of 2. This weapon has a no range, is not capable of spray attacks, benefits from Strength powers, and is wielded with the Fists skill.
Potent Weaponry [-1]. Your natural weapon has a rating of 4.
Summoned Weaponry [-0]. You must take a supplemental action to create or draw your natural weapon before you can use it. In addition, you may wield your natural weapon with the Weapons skill.
Ranged Weaponry [-1]. Your natural weapon has a range of three zones and is capable of spray attacks. It may be wielded with the Fists, Weapons, Guns, or Discipline skill. It cannot be used with the defence trapping of Weapons unless you possess the Summoned Weaponry upgrade.
Area Weaponry [-1]. Your natural weapon may be used to make zonewide attacks.
Selective Weaponry [-1]. (Requires Area Weaponry) You do not harm yourself when making a zonewide attack against your own zone with your natural weapon.
Explosive Weaponry [+1]. (Requires Area Weaponry) Your natural weapon may not be used to make attacks that are not zone-wide.
Imprecise Weaponry [+1]. (Requires Selective Weaponry) You suffer a -2 penalty to the accuracy of any zonewide attack that you make with your natural weapon.
Venomous Weaponry [-2]. You may use your natural weapon to perform special maneuvers. These maneuvers may only inflict one specific Aspect; usually it's POISONED, but it can also be something like ON FIRE or ACCELERATED AGEING if that fits your character better. You may not tag that Aspect, but during your turn in each exchange after the one you performed the special maneuver in each character with that Aspect suffers a weapon 0 physical attack against Endurance with an accuracy equal to the roll you created the Aspect with. You may perform these special maneuvers against every character in a zone, including yourself, if you possess the Area Weaponry upgrade. Outside of a conflict, the effects of these maneuvers are adjudicated by the GM. But as a general rule, they're quickly fatal.

MIGHT OVER MAGIC [-2]
Description: You can shatter magical effects through physical force.
Skills Affected: Might, Fists, Weapons.
Effects:
Disruptive Strikes. You destroy ongoing spells by hitting them. Doing so requires you to roll your Might skill plus the weapon rating of your melee attacks (including Strength bonuses) against a difficulty equal to the spell's strength or complexity. If you succeed, the spell ends.
Parry Magic. You may use your Might skill plus half of any stress bonus you have from Strength Powers in place of your Athletics skill to defend against magical attacks and maneuvers.
Anti-Magic Attacks. You may use Fists in place of Might with this Power, but you receive no benefit from weapons while doing so unless you can wield them with Fists. You may also use Weapons in place of Might with this Power, but only if you are armed with a weapon suitable for use with Weapons.
Skill Over Magic [-0]. When you use your Might (or Fists, or Weapons) skill to defend against a magical attack with multiple targets, you may allow any number of other characters targeted by the same effect to use your defence roll in place of their own. However, you do not benefit from Strength or weapon ratings when using this Power.
Living Counterspell [-1]. When you use your Might (or Fists, or Weapons) skill to defend against a magical attack with multiple targets, you may allow any number of other characters targeted by the same effect to use your defence roll in place of their own.
Superior Might Over Magic [-2]. Add four to your Might (or Fists, or Weapons) skill when using it with this Power.

THE EIGHT INNER GATES [-3]
Description: You are able to push your life force through your muscles. This makes you faster and stronger, but damages your health rather badly.
Note: Consequences taken to fuel this Power are not affected by Recovery Powers. You may take any number of supplemental actions with this Power in a single exchange. Powers granted by this Power do not stack with other Powers of the same type.
Skills Affected: Endurance, Fists, Might, Weapons, Athletics, Alertness
Effects:
Opening And Healing. As a supplemental action, you may take a mild (or worse) physical consequence to open the Gates of Opening and Healing. For the rest of the scene this gives you Inhuman Speed and Strength.
Life And Pain [-1]. As a supplemental action, you may take a moderate (or worse) physical consequence to open the Gates of Life and Pain. For the rest of the scene this gives you armour 2 against all physical stress and either Supernatural Speed or Supernatural Strength. You may not open the Gates of Life and Pain unless the Gates of Opening and Healing are open.
Limit And View [-1]. As a supplemental action, you may take a severe (or worse) physical consequence to open the Gates of Limit and View. For the rest of the scene this gives you Supernatural Strength and Speed, wreathes your hands in weapon 4 fire, and allows you to attack entire zones with melee attacks without risk of harming yourself. You may not open the Gates of Limit and View unless the Gates of Life and Pain are open.
Wonder And Death [-1]. As a supplemental action, you may take an extreme physical consequence to open the Gate of Wonder. For the rest of the scene this gives you Mythic Speed, Mythic Strength, and armour 4 against all physical stress. You may not open the Gate of Wonder unless the Gates of Limit and View are open. Furthermore, while the Gate of Wonder is open you may take a supplemental action to open the Gate of Death. This gives you +2 to all physical rolls and makes you immune to all stress, but kills you in four exchanges (or roughly one minute outside of a conflict).

VARIABLE ABILITIES [-varies]
Description: You have some method of changing what Powers are available to you at any given time.
Note: Variable Abilities is not one Power; it's a whole collection, with each list being a different Power. If you don't trust your ability to create new Powers, stick with the lists provided here. If you do feel capable of writing new Powers, feel free to create your own lists using the ones here as a guide. Remember that if the abilities on the list are all useful in different situations it makes the list more powerful.
Skills Affected: Many.
Effects:
Option List. You have a list of Powers and upgrades and Stunts that you can give yourself with this Power. Your list may be of any length, and it may contain conditions like "Power X and Power Y must be taken together" or "Stunt X can only be taken if Power Y has been taken". Each list has a Refresh surcharge. A list's surcharge is proportional to its length, its flexibility, and the amount of variation among the Powers on it.
Form Points. Once you've paid the Refresh surcharge of your list, you may spend as many additional points of Refresh as you want. For each additional point of Refresh you spend, you get a form point.
Function Follows Form. As a full action, you may allocate your form points to abilities on your list. Each form point is worth 1 Refresh worth of abilities. You must abide by the conditions of your list, but you are under no obligation to keep all (or any) of your form points invested at any time.

[Sanctaphrax]

Okay, edits made.

I added a note saying Limitation could be taken multiple times.

I allowed spray blocks, including spray grapples, with Extra Appendages. I ditched Superior Coordination, because upon analysis it did nothing Excellent Coordination doesn't do. I might still rename Excellent Coordination for elegance's sake, but that's not important.

In every Power that had an Abandoned Body trapping, I made it so that you merge with your host regardless of whether you have Spirit Form. Because I could only think of one character concept that actually left behind a meat body while possessing someone, and it's covered by a Spirit Form upgrade.

Feedback would of course be appreciated.

If this passes muster I'll update the list in a day or two.

(click to show/hide)

LIMITATION [+varies]
Description: Your abilities are limited in some way.
Note: You may take this Power multiple times. Suffering from the negative consequences of taking this Power will often, but not always, be a Compel. If the importance of this Power changes during play, it might be necessary to change its cost or compensate with Compels.
Skills Affected: None.
Effects:
Limited Powers. Attach this Power to at least one other Power that you possess. Then, select a circumstance. Whenever that circumstance applies, you are treated as though you did not possess the attached abilities.
Rebate. This Power reduces the Refresh cost of the attached Powers. The percentage that the cost is reduced by depends upon how commonly the limitation on your Powers will cause problems for you.

• If it will matter rarely (perhaps once every 6 sessions or so), reduce the cost by one-sixth.
• If it will cause problems from time to time (in some, but not all, sessions), reduce the cost by one fourth.
• If it will be a frequent impediment (once a session on average), reduce the cost by half.
• If it will prevent you from using your Powers except in unusual situations (no more than once a session on average), reduce the cost by three fourths.

At the GM's discretion, difficult-to-classify limitations might grant a rebate in between two of the suggested ones. Decimal costs should be rounded to the nearest integer, with GMs rounding halves based on what cost seems more appropriate.

EXTRA APPENDAGES [-2]
Description: You have some extra arms (or other limbs) which make you pretty darn good at multasking in combat.
Skills Affected: Fists, Weapons, Guns, others.
Effects:
Multiple Targets. You may make spray attacks with anything, within reason.
Mix And Match. You may use multiple different actions in a single spray attack. Use the lowest applicable skill. You may also make attack-like (offensive, not navel-gazing) maneuvers and blocks as part of a spray attack. In order to grapple as part of a spray attack, you must invoke an Aspect for each character grappled.
Flurry Of Blows [-1]. You may direct multiple attacks (or maneuvers, or blocks) within a single spray at one character.
Excellent Coordination [-1]. For each purchase of this trapping, add 1 shift to each attack, block, or maneuver within spray attacks that you make. This cannot increase the number of shifts for any action beyond the number of shifts that you had to split up between actions in the first place. This trapping may be purchased up to twice.

SPIRITUAL PARASITE [-1]
Description: You can invade the minds of others. You can't take over completely, but you can influence your hosts pretty strongly.
Skills Affected: Discipline, others.
Effects:
Spiritual Parasitism. You may attempt to enter the bodies of other characters, willing or otherwise. Entering an unwilling character requires you to win a mental conflict, which uses the same timeframe and initiative as a physical fight. Discipline is used to attack and defend in that conflict. During the conflict, you are treated as though you were inside your target's body for the purposes of the Abandoned Body and You're Not Hurting Me Trappings. Taking an action in that conflict takes a character's full attention. If you win the conflict, you may enter the target's body. If you lose, then you fail to do so and may not try again until the next session.
Sponsor. While you are inside a character, that character has a temporary Aspect that indicates your presence. In addition, you may allow them to spend your Fate Points. For each Fate Point they spend this way, they acquire a point of sponsor debt. The debt is to you, and you may choose to use it for a Compel whenever you please.
Corrupting Influence. While you are inside another character, both you and your host gain a new stress track called the control track. The control track's length is determined by Conviction, and stress and consequences inflicted to it do not heal normally. At the end of each scene, you and your host may make a control attack against each other. Use Discipline to attack and to defend. If your host takes you out, you must leave their body. If you take them out, clear both your control track and theirs. Also you may either inflict a Compel upon them as though they had taken a point of sponsor debt to you or change one of their permanent Aspects. The extent of an Aspect change caused by this Power is roughly equal to the extent of an extreme consequence.
You're Not Hurting Me. You cannot be targeted with physical or mental attacks while in another character's body, barring special Powers or unusual circumstances. Social attacks can target you normally, though, and you may not transfer backlash or stress costs to your host. If your host is drawn into a mental conflict, you may participate in that conflict.
Abandoned Body. While you are in another character's body, you are entirely subsumed into your host until you leave into the surrounding area. You cannot take physical actions. Nobody save your host can perceive you unless they have The Sight or another such effect.
Helpful Spiritual Parasite [-1]. While you are in another character's body, you may attempt grant that character a +1 bonus whenever they use any skill. If they accept the bonus, you get a stackable +2 bonus to the control attack that you make at the end of that scene.
Benevolent Spiritual Parasite [+1]. (Requires Helpful Spiritual Parasite) You may not make a control attack at the  end of a scene unless your host accepted a bonus that scene. And even if they did accept a bonus, your attack skill is automatically Mediocre (+0) before bonuses. Whenever your host goes a full session without using a bonus, they may clear their control stress track and begin to recover control consequences normally. On the upside, your host can no longer make control attacks against you at the end of each scene. Barring some sort of exorcism, you're there until you decide to leave.

SPIRITUAL SYMBIOTE [-1]
Description: You're a spiritual symbiote of sorts; you enter the bodies of other people and make them stronger.
Musts: You must have an Aspect reflecting this Power.
Skills Affected: Many.
Effects:
Integration. You may enter the bodies of willing characters. Entering or leaving a body in a conflict takes your action, and you can stay until you decide to leave or are kicked out by your host. While you are in a character's body, that character has access to your stunts, skills, and Powers. Size Powers and Spirit Form are exceptions to this. Other exceptions should be handled through Compels or through the Limitation Power.
Abandoned Body. While you are in another character's body, you are entirely subsumed into your host until you leave into the surrounding area. The only things you can do are look through your host's senses and talk to your host. Nobody save your host can perceive you unless they have The Sight or another such effect.
You're Not Hurting Me. You cannot be targeted with physical attacks while in another character's body, barring special Powers or unusual circumstances. Characters looking to take you down violently will probably have to settle for knocking the person whose body you're using unconscious. Mental and social attacks can target you normally, though, and you may not transfer backlash or physical stress costs to your host. If your host is drawn into a mental conflict, you may participate in that conflict.

POSSESSION [-1]
Description: You can take over the bodies of others. Maybe only if they consent, maybe even if they don't.
Skills Affected: Discipline, others.
Effects:
Possession. You may enter the bodies of willing characters. Entering or leaving a body in a conflict takes your action, and you can stay until you decide to leave or are kicked out by your host. While you are in a character's body, you may control that body as though it were your own. Use your own skills and Powers when doing so. Size Powers and Spirit Form are an exception to this: use your host's Size Powers in place of your own, and if you have Spirit Form it is suppressed while you're in someone else's body. You may also use certain other Stunts and Powers possessed by your host, generally those relating to raw physical ability or the reactions of other characters to your host's body. Some of the host's skills may also modify your own, generally along the same guidelines as Powers and Stunts. The GM is the final judge of which of the host's Powers and Skills and Stunts apply to you.
You're Not Hurting Me. You cannot be targeted with physical attacks while in another character's body, barring special Powers or unusual circumstances. Characters looking to take you down violently will probably have to settle for knocking the person whose body you're using unconscious. Mental and social attacks can target you normally, though, and you may not transfer backlash or physical stress costs to your host. If your host is drawn into a mental conflict, you may participate in that conflict.
Spiritual Eviction. If you end up controlling a host who wants you out, that host may engage you in an opposed Discipline roll. If they win, you are forced out of their body. If you entered their body with their consent, your host may attempt one such roll as soon as they decide to kick you out. Regardless, they may attempt one such roll every time you control their body for another continuous day and every time you use their body to damage them or something they care about. In extreme situations, such as forced suicide, your host may benefit from a circumstantial bonus to the opposed Discipline roll.
Abandoned Body. While you are in another character's body, you are entirely subsumed into your host until you leave into the surrounding area. You can act only through your host's body. Nobody save your host can perceive you unless they have The Sight or another such effect.
Hostile Possession [-2]. You may attempt to possess unwilling victims. This requires you to win a mental conflict, which uses the same timeframe and initiative as a physical fight. Discipline is used to attack and defend in that conflict. During the conflict, you are treated as though you were inside your target's body for the purposes of the Abandoned Body and You're Not Hurting Me Trappings. Taking an action in that conflict takes a character's full attention. If you lose the conflict, you fail to possess the target and can't try again until the next session. If you win, you possess the target normally. If a character is possessed by multiple characters with this Power, the most recent possession takes precedence.

[Lavecki121]

Hey Sancta. I put up my final draft of the 8 Gates power. I would preffer that one be used but if you want to use the one you put up thats cool too.

[Sanctaphrax]

Ask, and you shall receive.

I think your final draft ought to work fine in most games, though the second gate makes me a little nervous.

Anyway, bringing your final draft over here for reformatting now. Can you open every gate in one exchange? If you don't say I'll assume you can.

EIGHT GATES RELEASED FORMATION [-3]

For the rest of the scene this gives you Mythic Speed, Mythic Strength, and armour 4(stacks with toughness) against all physical stress. You may not open the Gate of Wonder unless the Gate of View is open. As a free action, you may open the Gate of Death. This gives you +2 to all physical rolls and makes you immune to all physical stress, but kills you in four exchanges (or roughly one minute outside of a conflict). You may not open the Gate of View unless the Gate of Wonder is open.

EIGHT GATES RELEASED FORMATION [-3]
Description: You are able to push your life force through your muscles. This makes you faster and stronger, but damages your health rather badly.
Note: Consequences taken to fuel this Power are unaffected by Recovery Powers and do not start to heal until the scene after they are activated. Strength and Speed Powers granted by this Power do not stack with other Strength and Speed Powers. A character may take any number of supplemental actions with this Power in an exchange.
Skills Affected: Endurance, Fists, Might, Weapons, Athletics, Alertness
Effects:
Gates of Opening and Healing: As a free action during your turn, you may take a mild (or worse) physical consequence to open the Gate of Opening. This gives you Inhuman Speed and Strength for the rest of the scene. While the Gate Of Opening is open, you may take a supplemental action to open the Gate of Healing. Upon opening the Gate of Healing you may clear your physical stress track as though the scene had ended. This has no effect on consequences.
Gates of Life and Pain [-1]: While the Gate Of Healing is open, as a free action during your turn you may take a moderate (or worse) physical consequence to open the Gate of Life. This gives you either Supernatural Speed or Supernatural Strength for the rest of the scene (you choose which). While the Gate Of Life is open, you may take a supplemental action to open the Gate of Pain. This gives you armour 2 against all physical stress for the rest of the scene. This armour stacks with armour from Toughness but not with other forms of armour.
Gates of Limit and View [-1]: While the Gate Of Pain is open, as a free action during your turn you may take a severe (or worse) physical consequence to open the Gate of Limit. This gives you Supernatural Strength and Speed for the rest of the scene. While the Gate Of Limit is open, you may take a supplemental action to open the Gate of View. This wreathes your hands in weapon 4 fire for the rest of the scene, and allows you to attack entire zones with melee attacks without risk of harming yourself for the rest of the scene.
Gates of Wonder and Death [-1]: While the Gate Of View is open, as a free action during your turn you may take an extreme physical consequence to open the Gate of Wonder. This gives you Mythic Speed, Mythic Strength, and armour 4 against all physical stress for the rest of the scene. This armour stacks with armour from Toughness but not with other forms of armour. While the Gate Of Wonder is open, as a free action during anybody's turn you may open the Gate of Death. This gives you +2 to all physical rolls and makes you immune to all physical stress, but kills you in four exchanges (or roughly one minute outside of a conflict).

Hope I didn't screw anything up.

Forgot the Item Limitation side-grade for Limitation. Adding it.

LIMITATION [+varies]
Description: Your abilities are limited in some way.
Note: You may take this Power multiple times. Suffering from the negative consequences of taking this Power will often, but not always, be a Compel. If the importance of this Power changes during play, it might be necessary to change its cost or compensate with Compels.
Skills Affected: None.
Effects:
Limited Powers. Attach this Power to at least one other Power that you possess. Then, select a circumstance. Whenever that circumstance applies, you are treated as though you did not possess the attached abilities. You may not select Powers with drawbacks unless the GM approves, and even if the GM does approve they may rule that you do not receive any rebate for the cost of the Powers in question.
Rebate. This Power reduces the Refresh cost of the attached Powers. The percentage that the cost is reduced by depends upon how commonly the limitation on your Powers will cause problems for you.

• If it will matter rarely (perhaps once every 6 sessions or so), reduce the cost by one-sixth.
• If it will cause problems from time to time (in some, but not all, sessions), reduce the cost by one fourth.
• If it will be a frequent impediment (once a session on average), reduce the cost by half.
• If it will prevent you from using your Powers except in unusual situations (no more than once a session on average), reduce the cost by three fourths.

At the GM's discretion, difficult-to-classify limitations might grant a rebate in between two of the suggested ones. Decimal costs should be rounded to the nearest integer, with GMs rounding halves based on what cost seems more appropriate.
Item Limitation [-0]. You may transfer Limitation and the Powers attached to it to another character, causing you to lose them and causing the other character to gain them. They may then transfer them freely, but if another character has your Powers when a Milestone occurs, they must pay for them. Note that though the Limitation will be the same, it might be valued differently owing to the other character's differing circumstances. Similarly, if you do not have your Powers when a Milestone occurs the Refresh invested in them is refunded. Whenever the Limited Powers trapping causes you to lose access to your Powers it is possible that another character will steal them. If they do so, it is as though you had voluntarily transferred the Powers to them. You may choose the process by which your Powers are transferred or stolen, but both processes should be roughly equal in difficulty. This upgrade is usually used to represent items that grant Powers, and the process for acquiring Powers through it is generally just picking up the item in question.

Okay, new update. Here's a link, because we're all too lazy to track down one of the earlier links.

Here's what happened:

(click to show/hide)

Added:

Banefire
Chaos Surge
Might Over Magic
Enthrallment
Possession
Spiritual Symbiote
Spiritual Parasite
Inhabit (I made the Abandoned Body changes to this one too)
Spiritual Co-Pilot
The Eight Inner Gates
Variable Abilities

Updated:

Spirit Form
Incite Effect
Feel No Pain
Limitation
Natural Weaponry
Extra Appendages
Dangerous Aura
The list of rewrites

Removed:

Special Techniques (I wrote this when I was new to the game. Supernatural Martial Arts is what this should have been. Old shame begone.)
Possess Corpse (Covered by Inhabit.)
Gift Of The Spriggan (Covered by Variable Abilities.)
Natural Channel (Does nothing that taking Blood Magic and Alternate Magical Paradigm together doesn't do.)

Not Added:

Anti-Magic Bullets (Because ways and means said it was "all degrees of awful" and I figure he wouldn't want it on the list.)

On Probation:

Short-Term Precognition (Really similar to Precognition. Not sure if it's worth having both, and I like Precognition better. But then, I'm biased.)
Conceptual Thaumaturgy (I'm pretty sure you can do this without a special Power. But hey, I could be wrong.)
Manifested Blade (It seems wrong for a Power to only work when attached to an item.)
Spiritual Weapon (As above, plus I feel like it should be possible to fold this into Natural Weaponry.)
Phantom Slashes (As above, plus I don't know what this is supposed to do.)
Shape-shifting Weapon (Item-only Power, and seems like an Aspect instead of a Power.)
Giant Weapons (As above.)
Mega Weapons (As above, plus stacking issues.)
Giga Weapons (As above, plus some mechanical confusion.)
Noob Security Systems (Requires a Power that isn't on the list.)

Please tell me if you disagree with anything I did.

Also, I'd be interested in hearing opinions about the probation list entries. I'm not sure what to do with those, so I'm leaving them alone until the next update.

PS: The list is currently 58 pages, 30960 words, and 188162 characters long.

Probably misreading it, but something I wanted to bring up for a while - Limitation's discount seems a bit much. I mean, basically, once every session or so, your power won't work, and in exchnage it only costs half? Even if the power nullifying lasts a whole scene, I imagine a session would have a whole bunch of scenes. Also, how would you translate Limitation to, say, PbP?

[Tedronai]

I'd start by saying that 'My Limitation is preventing my from using my Powers.  It's a good thing I don't actually need them right now' doesn't count.  Limitation has to bar access to your powers in a way that matters for it to grant its rebate.  No picking up Limitation on your Evocation and Thaumaturgy stating that they can't be used at the same time.

Second, PbP already has the issue of deciding how long a 'session' lasts for arbitrating other effects (enchanted item recharge, healing rates, etc), so session time increment estimations for Limitation are just one more item on the list.

[Sanctaphrax]

What Tedronai said.

However, I'm not dead certain that Limitation doesn't provide too much Refresh. The rebate is generally smaller than the ones provided be canon Powers, but still...might be too big.

The idea is that you won't get to use your Power all the time, so negating it in one scene cuts out a lot of it's value. Especially since the scene in which it is negated is likely to be an important one.

Hopefully that idea holds up in your game.

[Sanctaphrax]

Just realized I forgot to remove Quasi-Modular Abilities from the list. Given that Variable Abilities renders it obsolete, I'm gonna do that now.

But I've got a PC using the Power in a PbP game, so I'm putting Quasi-Modular Abilities in this post. I'll likely need it later.

QUASI-MODULAR ABILITIES [-Varies]
Description: You have the ability to alternate between multiple powersets.
Musts: You must "pre-pay" a number of refresh points equal to the total value of each set of powers that this power affects, plus a surcharge of one refresh.
Skills Affected: Varies.
Effects:
Two Powersets. Pick out two sets of powers, each with a total refresh cost one less than the cost of this power. You may use either set of powers, although it takes a full action to go from using one to using the other. The GM decides what is and what isn't a valid choice for inclusion in the powersets provided by this power.
Item Of Power Collection [-0] You own multiple items of power. Design a number of Items Of Power equal to your Resources skill. At any given time, you may use or loan out items with a total refresh cost up to one less than the refresh cost of this power. You do not receive the Item Of Power discount. If you have the Tracing power, then you may summon and dismiss these Items Of Power out of and into thin air. If not, you must treat them as physical objects.

I'm going to take the silence that has greeted this update as a good sign. Means I didn't offend anybody.

But I would really like some commentary on that probation list.
