One of my players wants to play a charector who wants to be able to make things ,including himself, grow by touching them with one hand and and shrink by touching them with the other. The effect on himself would only effect a body part. For example he could touch one arm,leg or whatever and it would grow muscular and large, be super strong and the other hand would return it to normal. Im not sure how to handle partial growth, or should I be thinking str for arms, running and superleap for the legs. And the effect on other items get even more confusing. Any suggestions?

Sounds like a pool to me. May I suggest enhanced senses for eyes, ears, nose. Plusses to CON and or REC for the torso (larger heart/lungs).

There is also a plus to PRE and/or COM, but with the limitation "only when naked."

I would group it together as a MP first off ...
Strength for arms is good ... Jumping for legs is probably best, though if he can just lengthen the legs, then use running ;) How about Armor for expanding the dermal layer of skin? Or perhaps added Intelligence for expanding his head ala Leader? Maybe a Perception bonus for big eyes or ears? Added Dexterity for lengthened fingers? HKA for grown nails? As for affecting others, if it's random parts, I would use Drain or Entangle, showing that they don't have the capacity of understanding their newfound abilities :)

Agreed here, though I'd add an Aid if he can give people a strength boost, and maybe a HA for one big arm instead of or in addition to a STR boost.

I agree with the PRE boost when naked as well.

Side Effects of a PRE loss..."You mean that's ALREADY enlarged!" :eek:

We're such a mature bunch, we gamers...:rolleyes:

But at least we know all the words to The Lumberjack Song.

That has to count for something. ;)
