Custom Power List
ways and means:
Legion Style Power
Composite Personality [-2]
You are not alone in your mind, you have access to dozens of other minds, memories and skills.
Skill Shuffle.You may shuffle around your skills for a different configuration while changed (using the same number of skill points and following the same rules as during character creation, page 65), so long as any purely physical skill are not given a higher value by the change. (Might, Endurance, Athletics)
See-Saw Mentality (Requires Composite Personality) [-2] When one personality is pushed down another is pushed up.
You are immune to unnatural mental stress but any mental damage greater than your mental stress track forces you to change personality.
Sanctaphrax:
The anti-faith powers look OK, I guess, but I somehow find them aesthetically displeasing.
Composite Personality is just reverse-Beast Change, right? How does it interact with Beast Change and True Shapeshifting?
I have no idea what See-Saw Mentality is supposed to do. Explain, please.

Composite Personality isn't really meant to interact with the shape changing powers it is supposed to represent the reverse of shape changing one body multiple minds rather than one mind multiple bodies, so I am going to say to avoid confusion the powers are mutually exclusive.
See-Saw Personality is basically meant to represent the fact that when people are mentally attacking someone with this power they are not attacking one mind but many so even if they affect one mind another mind will rise up to take its place. (a forced skill change which counts as a supplemental action).
Sanctaphrax:
I still don't understand the way that See-Saw Personality would work mechanically. Could you provide an example?
I wonder if a -3 power letting you pick a second skill list with no restrictions would be balanced. Or maybe a -6 power letting you reshuffle your skills endlessly...nah.
Would Composite Personality change your aspects when in use?
ways and means:
As i can't seem to get see-saw personality to work in away in keep with the fate ethos consider the power ditched (mental immunity + a compel do the power better than any mechanics I could come up with.
Composite Personality could change your aspects in use (GM caveat as all ways) though I would think most characters with Composite Personality would have aspects relating to the group rather than the individual.
