Only in Heroic Identity

[Newbie gamer]

I recently built (with the help of the GM) a character based on favorite video game character. This person is almost completely normal minus some martial skills to defend herself. All the power comes from her suit that has quite a few multi-powers. I was thinking of ways to lower the cost so I could get some more skills and other things. While in this suit she is totally covered, and the visor is one way seethrough, you can see none of her body at all.

So does Only in Heroic Identity work like this? Can I lower the cost of the powers in the suit by applying Only in Heroic Identity under the pretense the powers only work while Im in the suit?

That's really a design issue, not a rules issue. Some people do use OIHID for things like powered armor suits; some people prefer other approaches. As long as your GM's OK with it, you're probably all right.
