    I've used it to let a player know a given plan might not work, or give a clue what the opposition might try.

    The Amamaun were the first people to live in this new world and thus the first to die.
     
    They found many ways to the Dark Gate: some lingered too long in a pool that became cut off by the endless cycles of inundation and rising, and thus left high and dry when the pool at last drained; some fell to the predators of the deep; some learned too late that certain bright patterns proclaimed "Touch me not, I am poison."
     
    And sometimes corpses were left to bloat and become unrecognizable vectors of disease, or the departed's companions would tow the corpse about with them and speak to it, hoping for a response. And sometimes there would come a response.
     
    And the spirits were restless and haunted the dreams of the Amamaun, until all feared to close their eyes for the horror of the terrifying visions that may ensue. For it is the way of mortals that the living shall fear the dead, who remind them that they too must in time come to the Dark Gate.
     
    And I, Arepo, the Lady of Death and Rebirth, came upon a band of the Amamaun whose fear and grief were so heavy they could not swim about but only follow the seafloor; and they were besieged by an army of corpses, for the dead, unable to pass the Gate, had returned to their flesh to encircle their kin and gaze at them with blank dead eyes demanding to be put to rest.
    And the Amamaun recognized Me and cast down their eyes, save one, who gazed at Me pleading, and I saw that her compassion for the dead was greater than her fear of them. To her I said "The people suffer, living as well as dead. To end that suffering, would you give your own life?" And despite her fear she said "I would" and then I knew that I had found the First Priestess.
     
    To be continued....

    Lucius got a reaction from PhilFleischmann in HS 6e is mechanically the best version of the rules; dissenting views welcome   
    You seem of the opinion that using Figured Characteristics is "simple" and not using them is "complex." I note that this is not a universal opinion.

    I am of the opinion that every tagline of mine should include at least one palindromedary. This is probably not a universal opinion but I happen not to care.

    Pitchforks and torches are not necessary. What's necessary is to point out that no, Martial Arts are not OVER priced, they are UNDER priced.

    Lucius got a reaction from Ken Filewood in How do I make thrown item return   
    Even simpler: just don't put any Limitations on it that would prevent it from returning when thrown.
     
    Any ordinary ranged attack is by default usable over and over. The question asked boils down to "How do I get a Power to act the way the Power acts by default?" and the answer is, "don't change that default by the Limitations you use."
