Re: Weaknesses, Vulnerabilities, Power Restrictions

Hi Yendor,
I had a player that chose enhanced senses for one of his powers but when it came to rolling for the power strength he did quite poorly. He wanted to bump this power up another 2 ranks to Monstrous. The limitation that I put on this power is that he had no sense of taste.

I dont play on this weakness alot but I have found it to be handy in game when I want to manipulate the characters direction.

The key to the power limitations is that it should balance out the game. In the above example the senses that we most use are sight, sound, smell, touch, Taste is not used in game so much but if you want to drugg a character with a poison or some other such item then you can make use of it to add to the drama.

In DC the green lanterns ring is almost all powerful but it has one weakness against yellow from memory. I dont know if this is still the case maybe someone else can add to this.

Any vulnerability should not be well know by their adversaries. Also when it does come into play it should be rare.
