Do you have to have a separate skill pyramid for your companion or do they fall into your own skill pyramid?

Alemancy is from the Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson. Alemancy is a metal based magic that uses the properties of metals produce a variety of effects. Anywhere from controlling emotions, enhancing the body or fling metal about.

By the flavor and the wording of the stunt I would  you say no you don't get a supplemental. You can't take an action so you can not supplement it.  I do like your stunt and I am adding it. They have reached -8 refresh here..should  I bump their skills up a level?

HC: Saber Toothed Gnome
T: They're Damn Heavy
Additional Aspects: Tiny but Fierce

Powers:
[-1] Natural Weaponry: Tusks: Weapon 2

[-1] Diminutive Size 
[-1]Force of a Locomotive, Size of a Breadbox: When you charge an opponent, you hit HARD.  After a successful charge attack (ie, a successful tusk attack roll after having moved at least one zone) you inflict stress on your target as normal, and also may choose to sacrifice your next action (in the following exchange) to count the attack roll as a successful maneuver on your part (requiring no additional rolling), placing a maneuver aspect like Knocked Senseless or Ass Over Teakettle on your victim.

I think I wanted to have the option to add a defense trapping to Guns because I wanted to...So this point will no longer be pursued.

Hmm will think on better name for Weaponlike Natural Weapons.

I still think scaling the weapon value off a skill has some merit, but I fluffed my defense roll (ran out of ideas and arguments) and so I am taken out of this conflict with the moderate consequence "Silenced with Logic" for now anyway...

I have read the last two pages

Funnily enough, it seems we are mostly sitting at the same place on this...The I Dunno let me think about it stage. Basically I was just throwing in my .02 on this...

@2: Channeling does do more damage potentially...You get focus items and you can take mental stress and/or consequences to further turbocharge it. What I meant was that it would be about equivalent to a base evocation.  As for the multi-skill question, every time I have seen the power posted there has been nothing from stopping you from taking all the upgrades. I assumed that ranged attacks would default to fists and ranged to guns. Are you saying if I make a character with Claws and then later he discovers he can shoot them like missiles, that this ranged attack uses Fists?

@3: Why can't it add a defense trapping to another skill? Also the name bugs me, because to me it implies that claws are not part of a character's body. Also it seems a bit redundant unless you really want to use Weapons. From the way this power is described you can just use fist and this power justifies blocking most attacks ( my claws are diamond hard or I'll just blind him with my eye beams). I can understand what you are going for with this Power flavorwise, but I am not sure if an Weapon 2 that can not be disarmed and is always with you is worth 2 refresh. As for the name maybe something like, Weaponlike Weapons or something. Maybe Weapon Shaped? Dunno needs thinking.

@4: Had no problem with this, it is just when I read the power the first thing that popped into my head was an exploding fist, which made me giggle.

P.S. Damn right.

I think it would be easy to just use "Master of Name Magic" as an aspect you can invoke to know true names and gain bonuses on magic where you know the target's true name.

What if the Weapon value of Breath weapon scaled off a skill like Might?
