Disadvantages of shrinking

[ChampionGamer]

Steve,

I have been having trouble trying to game balance the advantages of shrinking with the disadvantages. I have been reading FAQs, books, and posts trying to figure out what would be reasonable disadvantages to shrinking.

Here is my problem:

 

I have a brick who wants to use shrinking to get around the DCV limit I have set for brick characters in my game. I am trying to be open minded and say that the brick can use shrinking but will suffer from x and y disadvantages such as he would with growth: being easier to hit and having trouble using small devices or fitting in normal size areas.

 

However, there do not seem to be any disadvantages to shrinking. One I thought would make sense would be that you would move slower, but the rules explicitly state that your movement is not effected.

 

Question:

 

1.) What are the disadvantages that a shrinking brick would suffer both in and out of combat?

 

2.) If a brick buys stretching and shrinking does stretching still operate at the same distance while shrunk?

 

Thank you!

To a large extent this really isn't a rules question so much as it is a topic for discussion, so I've moved it into the Discussion area (rules issues are dealt with in the original thread). What do you think Herodom Assembled?
