Powers on Awesome Powers #1

Post by Sijo »

I just bought the book, and I noticed that the three Powers (Absorption, Imbue and Trample) have no Category assigned to them. Since this is important (in case of assigning them to Multipowers) I'd like to know what the official ruling on them is.

(My guess is that Imbue is a Biomanipulation power, since it's a variation on Copycat, thought personally I'd make it a Mastery power since it affects things *besides* the user; And I guess Absorption and Trample are Combat powers?)

Similarly, the Power Invasive Broadcast (AP #6) doesn't say what it's based on, so again: what category is it? My guess is Mastery.

Good, thanks! :D Oh, another Power without a defined Category is Skillful Phasing (from Awesome Powers #3). Presumably, since it seems to be a variant of Ghost Form, I'd say it's Biomanipulation. (Though to be honest, I almost don't consider this a power on its own; it's more like a group of Power Stunts that someone with Ghost Form might try.)

And hey, I just noticed my rank has gone up to Costumed Crimefighter. Go me! :D

It should be biomanipulation.
