Custom Power List
Craftzero:
I have one that I'm looking for any opinions on.
Strategist of the Gods [-1]
Description: During battle, you connect to your allies on an almost telepathic level. Under your guidance their actions are like that of a well-oiled fighting machine, flowing from one enemy to another.
Musts: Must have a supernatural high concept related to tactics, battles, or war (i.e., "Son of Ares").
Effect: During combat - and without their input - you may direct the actions of allies. This directed action must be described simply and within their abilities (attack that foe, grapple the large one, trip the fast enemy, etc). Your allies need not follow this action, but if they do they are given the temporary aspect of "Guided by (Player Name)". This aspect may be tagged for free once during the combat; but subsequent uses require the use of a Fate Point. This aspect will be removed if you move out of range of the tactician (greater than 2 zones away).
Aminar:
I enjoy crossover ideas and thought I'd throw this out for a quick balance check.

The Sight(Limited)(-1)
Modified Cassandra's Tears(-0)

For Reference this comes from Terry Brooks the Word and the Void Series.
Sanctaphrax:
I would like to make a power representing the advantages of an amorphous form like that of an ooze. It would offer the ability to squeeze through small spaces, a bonus to grappling, an immunity to being grappled except under special circumstances, and maybe an upgrade giving a one zone range to melee attacks.
I will probably give it two levels, with the first being Reed Richards/Monkey D Luffy stuff and the second being Ooze Monster/Commodore Smoker stuff.
I would like to know if anybody has any suggestions for other trappings, or for how much this should cost.
Belial666:
[-3] Amorphous Form
Adaptive Form: Your form quickly adapts to physical combat. At the beginning of the exchange you may choose to have either +3 to grappling
or +3 to defense vs grappling, but not both.
Dude, that's Gross: Let's face it; having a ooze-like body is not the best thing for charming the ladies or staying undercover. Depending on the
exact mechanics of your amorphous form, pick 3 social or stealth-related skills. You have a -1 to those skills, except with shapeshifters or other amorphous beings.
No hole too small: You can pass through almost any crack that most other beings could not. You may ignore barriers that aren't sealed and you can crawl
across any surface that isn't completely smooth.
No internal Anatomy: You lack internal anatomy, or you can repair/rearrange your anatomy die to being amorphous or otherwise you lack the drawbacks
of internal organs. As such, you might not care about a perforated lung or three; reduce extra stress from extra shifts in enemy attack rolls by 2.
Sanctaphrax:
Not bad, but there are a few things I would change. First, I would add a trapping with a cost of -1 that allowed you to make melee attacks against targets a zone away. Second, I would change the way it works with grappling, since you will almost never both grapple and defend against grappling in the same exchange and since +3 to grappling is an awful lot. Thirdly, I would reduce the cost of the power and make everything except No Hole Too Small an optional trapping. Fourthly, I would ditch Dude, That's Gross or offer it at a negative cost with a stipulation that it couldn't be hidden. Otherwise you can just take Human Guise.
Despite my laundry list of complaints, that was well done. I'm just picky.
I'll put up a modified version of this power soon, with my own whining taken into account.
