I decide to build a power for my haemptomancer (see Haemptomancy) like this.

Mental Defense (20 points total), Resistant (+1/2) (30 Active Points); Costs Endurance (-1/2), Gestures, Requires Gestures throughout (-1/2), Restrainable (-1/2) with the description as blood blocking my brain my rushing blood to the top of the head.

I am not sure that this actually seems appropriate for my haemptomancer. Would you:

A) Allow something like this?

Consider this appropriate for the character?

C) Consider this a different power?

I am waiting for a response from Steve on this topic, but I will ask the general public.

If I use A DoT Power That Is Inside of a Multipower (Or Even VPP, But This Is More For My Character) Do I Have To Keep The Slot Active In Order For The Power To Run its course or am I allowed to switch my slot?

It is more of judgement call than anything for me. I do believe that the keeping of  knockback defies dramatic sense. I mean if you tried to brace yourself to stop knockback and got shot by a tank round, you are going to go flying. 

As Words Die, We Define What Knockback Is

Ok. I meant it more as an expressive term. For Emphasis

As Words Die, We Realize That I Used A Politically-Incorrect Statement

Not quite the definition I'm looking for. I was more using it as say a way to control my own destiny as such as term. And Yes, That Is exactly what Blood divination is.

I would say that if a character was stunned due to the damage, and had braced themselves to prevent knockback, I would say that they cannot maintain the resistance while stunned, so I think you made a good judgment call there.

As I am heavily confused on the main differences, can someone explain the difference between a VPP and a Multipower, and, if you could, tell me what each is commonly used to contain?

As Words Die We See A Difference Appear

I appreciate everything that you have said. And yes, I do see how this may be a problem. I understand now that I can't build a generic power, so I won't try to. Although, it does seem a bit strange the technicalities you have to work through. I actually love telekinesis much more than "Blood Control" as my GM called it. So, thank all who answered and I say "Good Night."

As The Words Die We See The World Revive

Yes, I know, but I'm looking more for generic manipulation

Ok, What I mean is that I want to MANIPULATE Blood, such as making a barrier of blood or launching missiles of blood from my weapons. In essence, imagine a fire mage with fire emerging from his staff. Now, imagine the same except the "Staff" is a spiked knuckle and the "fire" liquid blood. 

I'm making a character that uses blood as a divination. I know how to build many of the powers I want, but I don't know how to build his ability to control blood. I've thought about a way to do this. 

Mind Control (Blood Class Of Minds) Based on CON -1, However I want it to be indefinite that I can control blood, not it being based on a number of dice. 

So, if I come up with an idea for this, please let me know.  

With me being the nice GM I am, I embarked on an epic quest to find the meaning of this power (actually not so epic, I just logged on typed some words). So, I am here now for the sake of my party, asking how does possession work?

My GM Just Decided On -3/4 for it, but thanks for the mathematical troubles. I would offer you a drink, but I don't think that's possible!

You have completely understood what I was trying to go for and I think the Multiform with Personality Loss Is My Best Option. By the way, my character is actually being controlled by himself (sorta like Multiple Personality Disorder)  

Makes Sense but how much do you think it should be for a limtation

I was thinking of making a trigger to add STR to my character when he goes enraged, and I know I should get No Conscious Control, but I do not know if I should also have Uncontrolled on it as well. I don't think it makes senses in the situation, but, since I do have to spend the most points possible, do I need to put Uncontrolled on this power?

    :help:       

I don't have a problem as long as the sheath doesn't cover the concealment modifier. I mean if you hid a gun (OAF) in your vest, it makes logical sense.

Actually, I thought of something. Built it as a multiform with both Requires an Ego Roll and Side Effects (If Ego Roll Fails, Enraged/Berserk is put on my character until I recover the body)! The AI idea is a good one, but what do you think of this one? If you think of anything else, please put it on here because your idea was gold!

This may be my best question yet. I have a summon with side effects yet I don't want it to be a different being, maybe the same person with different powers like multiform. The problem is that I don't really know if this is multiform due to the nature of the spell. I want to still have an ego roll to control "the summoned" in which "the summoned" has the same ego as the base character. I want the side effect to be that he loses control of himself and can't control his actions "Enraged/Berserk". I don't know what to build this as. What do you think?

Another Question: Am I allowed to Purchase PSL's to Counteract the OCV Penalties of Multiple Attack?

I'm trying to construct a sword that deals damage to its user to gain more attack power using side effects as a partially-limited power. Would I need to base side effects on the active points cost of the WHOLE sword or do I just take it with the part I limited It with?
