Custom Power List
Silverblaze:
Noticed this on the custom power compilation thread Sanctaphrax made: (Nice thread btw, good idea)
Holy Weaponry [-1]
Description: Your sacred power extends beyond your body to envelop the weapons you wield.
Musts: You must have the Holy Touch power in order to purchase this one.
Effect:
Holy Weaponry. You may apply the effects of Holy Touch to weapons that you wield.
I feel this devalues IoP and may be abusable (not so much overpowered). Didn't know where else to post this opinion.
Silverblaze:
Size Doesn't Matter...: -1 (-2)?
Effect: You may wield any weapon regardless of might or endurance requirements. Tripod support weapons? No problem. Zweihanders? Child's play. Boat mounted 6 or 8 gauge shotguns for duck hunting? All are within the realm of possiblities for you.
...But It Sure Does Help: requires above power -1
Effect: Most any weapon you can manage to hold one handed you can wield in combat..also one handed. (likely quite abusable with two weapon training stunt)
They need refinement (not the power) but certain genres may make use of these. Anime characters and video game characters often carry and wield things they shouldn't be able to. The goal is to create something similar to this.

I think the massive weapons in anime are mainly wielded by people with super strength and years of training in the school of silly weaponry which would mean that inhuman strength or above would probably do most of what this power does.

I respect that, but I'm certain I've seen many examples where this wasn't the case which is why I brought this up.

@Aegis Demon Shield:
If the point of the latest edit was making it non-stacking, can you rephrase from "reduces all stress inflicted by the natural attacks of supernatural creatures that oppose the user to characters inside of it by the user's Conviction" to "gives armor against opposing supernaturals to characters in the zone" ? That way someone that has already, say, armor 4 is not going to ignore the first 10 points of damage from attacks. They are only going to ignore the first 6. (i.e. the rephrase prevents stacking with armor)
Otherwise, even medium amounts of armor will make those within invulnerable to even major supernaturals such as a giant's weapon 8 attacks.
