Custom Power List
ways and means:
Transcendent Music [-4]
You can play an instrument with a level of skill and subtlety that you can almost make rocks cry and sooth the hearts of the darkest of people.
Superlative Musician: +4 to normal performance rolls with your instrument of choice
Listen to my Song: you can play an instrument so well that all in the area will stop and listen (a zone wide mental grapple at your performance skill to stop doing anything but listen to the music)
The Soothing Song: Whilst people are listening to your music they recover from mental consequences on step quicker than usual. (Inhuman Mental Recovery)
Sanctaphrax:
Emperor-Blessed Tech looks fine, given Belial's take on it.
I don't understand how Aegis Daemon Shield works. Could you give an example please?
Trancendent Music is interesting, but there are a few issues. Firstly, I don't like powers that provide straight skill bonuses. Secondly, the mechanics behind the grapple are unclear. And thirdlly, The Soothing Song seems like an optional add-on or a separate power.
Eye Of Providence is nicely written, in my opinion. I don't really like the way that Farseer keys off of the total power cost though. And it sould have an upgrade that lets you see in all directions, because otherwise it doesn't do what you want.
Samael:
Ok here is an example.
Suppose a bunch of demons decide to attack my Grey Knight. I spend a Fate Point and create my Zone Wide threshold, and for a single combat round (unless I extend with a supplemental) they suffer all the effects Thresholds provide IE Their attacks are decreased by the strength of the the threshold and any of the creatures not in the zone must beat the threshold rating to enter. Any spells or natural attacks (so not Guns or the like) these creatures used that enter the zone are likewise weakened. So with a Fantastic Conviction (giving a +6 threshold) that means a wizard who ordinarily casts +7 evocations now only gets the equivalent of +1 shift attacks for the same effort. Any spell used that is below the threshold rating simply does not work, it unravels the spell. But this is only for a single combat round and you must use a supplimental action to maintain it, if you choose not to maintain it or whenever the combat/scene ends (whichever is first) the Shield ends and another FP must be spent to use it.

Can voice be chosen as the instrument?
I like this either way, just curious.
Sanctaphrax:
I'm worried that that might be a bit too powerful. You'll be pretty much adding your Conviction to your defence skill, which will make you essentially impossible to hit.
Also, I think that thresholds deny powers to those who cross them. That's probably a no-no.
If it was a block instead of a threshold, it would probably be more acceptable. In fact, you could get it for 1 refresh then. At least on a trial basis.
I think you'll find that it'll still be very good (which it should be, for a Fate Point and all those supplemental actions). It'll basically set your defence rolls to a minimum of Conviction, and it'll make it impossible to close to melee range casually.
