Sanctaphrax:
Eh. I don't want to make the Power more complicated, and I'd like to keep the number of dice rolls to a minimum.
Have we ever seen the Siberian fail to protect someone who's near them? I can't remember that happening.

Cherish when she jumped.
Sanctaphrax:
I don't think Cherish actually gets hurt. I just re-read that part of Interlude 12...she just falls down and shrieks a little bit.
Unless I was looking at the wrong chapter, that is.
Stirge:
Aura of Protection is probably too cheap for what it does when involved with Immunity. At least with the Siberian, someone can perform a maneuver on them (jarring their contact with her) to be able to affect the target she's touching.
It's probably less thought out than Tank, but I think Siberian could use the Grant Powers ability I was working on. I think it's a bit more thematically close to what she does in the story:
(click to show/hide)Grant Powers [-2]: Touching a person allows you to grant them some or all of your powers for the scene, worth up to 4 Refresh total. If they are unwilling, you must succeed a Fists vs. their Athletics to affect them. Only one person can benefit from a particular one of your powers at a time (see below).
[+2]: Power Genie: Only someone else can benefit from some of your powers, not yourself. When you select this, you must declare which powers it effects.
[-1]: Share Powers: An additional person can benefit from the same sharing of power. This may be taken multiple times, using the progression table*.
[-1]: Extended Duration: At the cost of a Fate Point, Grant Powers lasts for an entire session. At anytime you can use a supplemental action to ‘rescind’ the powers you’ve granted.
[-1]: Refinement: You can grant an additional 2 Refresh worth of powers at a time. This may be taken multiple times.
In this case, she'd have Grant Powers ([-2] Base, Share Powers II (to 5 People, story-wise this is spot on) [-2], Refinement XIII [-13, for 30 points worth of powers], Limitation: Must be in constant contact [+8 depending for how debilitating this is]) for a total of -9 for the power. She might also need an upgrade to make the power automatic (as a free action) as that seems to be how it is in the story.
That said, Grant Powers probably needs to be looked at and balanced still, but I feel like this might be the best way to go towards emulating Siberian's powers.
(click to show/hide)From Interlude 26b:
The D.T. uniform.
He sprayed containment foam at both Jack and Siberian.
Nothing. It wouldn’t achieve a thing.
But Tecton took the moment of Jack’s blindness to duck, to strike the ground.
The Siberian wasn’t immune to gravity. She fell, and just for a moment, she broke contact with Jack.
Tecton slammed his fist into Jack’s stomach.
The D.T. officer had turned the containment foam onto Gray Boy.
Except Gray Boy reappeared, out of the way of the stream.
The containment foam froze in mid-air.
No.
The Siberian leaped out of the fissure, then paced towards Jack.
Her hand stopped an inch away from him. She lowered it.
Jack had turned gray. Trapped, looped.
ways and means:
Which reminds me had an Idea for a Power that would need some real balancing to work.
Amp (-X): You have the power to amplify the powers of one your touching as an action, add X amount of refresh worth of powers that can only be spend on power upgrades, these powers last for a scene and can only be granted to one person at a time.
Upgrades
Device Amplify: [-2] You can amplify the power of objects, for example you could amplify the power of a gun (giving it strength powers based extra damage and force to shooting) or the Speed of a Vehicle (speed powers boost to driving as athletics).
This certainly isn't a currently balanced set of power but is there any way this could work?
