I would like to see some commentary on the various approaches you can take with a special effect, and not just in the "does this power have AP or not" vein. In my opinion there is too much of a tendency to say "if I'm in a fight I need an EB, so how can I justify it?". It seems like this is a good oppertunity to some up with alternate power writeups that allow for use in combat without falling back on EB, HA, KA, RKA, Armor, & FF. There is a big difference between somebody like Deadweight from "Enemies of SanAngelo" and Gravitar from CKC, not just in power level but in approach. They both have gravity but Deadweight manifests his as a really nasty gravity field that he has learned to use, while Gravitar has a more standard array of attacks and defenses. Both are valid, but you end up with two very different characters with the same special effect.

...Darn.

...oh wait....

I really think we ought to stop the pointless posting..

"Normal" requires a standard to compare against. What genre are we in?

The fact that it is armor piercing is simulated by the advantage of the same name pretty well. The fact that it is explosive probably means it just does more damage than a normal bullet. Just buy up the base damage.
