    Fear Power.

    Okay, I am making a character that has eyes like the 'greys' from the alien lore? Basically looking into it's eyes will cause the person to relive very strong emotional memories from their past based around fear or despair.

    The only problem is it's not under his control. It's always on. So when he begins play in the game he's locked up in the Asylum in Hudson City as a dangerous psionic monster (it's a humanoid lizard type of creature).

    I'm not sure if it needs to be built as a power though?

    Couldn't I just say:

    Distinctive Feature: Eyes that cause fear in human beings; Easily Concelable, Extreme Reaction?

    Or do I need to actually build it as an always on power? And if so.. how would I go about it? =?

    The way I read this, it's a power that is pretty much balanced out by it's own limitations. I'd make it a Distinctive Features.

    I'd make is a PRE attack on a Trigger, or an EGO Blast, again on a Trigger.

    Re: Fear Power.

    I'd recommend seeking out some writeups of Ghost Rider here on the fora - his Penance Stare would possibly be very similar in game terms. Find something that feels right, and toss in "uncontrolled" for good measure.
