Infomercial Integrity
How would you build an ability that the character can buy from infomercials, and the product they are shipped works exactly as the infomercial shows/claims? Both just for the character, and for everyone?

Re: Infomercial Integrity
Use Metatronic Generators to make a product with a set value.

Re: Infomercial Integrity
That works if the advertised product, or something equivalent, exists somewhere. If in fact the advertised product doesn't exist snatcher can't get it.

Re: Infomercial Integrity
For informercials specifically? That's basically a perk. The products are almost all basically mundane. Now, if it works on certain pumps and pills, that justifies Extreme Sexual Dimorphism and maybe a few levels of Multimillionaire if you can just pass them onto to anyone you want.
If we're talking about being able to buy any impossible item from the back of a magazine, that's probably some variation on Snatcher. |

Such as homeopathy. But most inomercials tend to avoid outtright saying what magic their products perform, only so heavy handedly imply it that anyone with three brain cells knows what they mean. Head-On (Apply directly to the head) never said it cured headaches, for example.

Re: Infomercial Integrity
I'm not so confident you can't turn up an "actual" infomercials for stuff at least that overpowered. I'm certain by now there are some utterly ridiculous ones somebody has made and posted online somewhere. And trying to draw a line by defining "serious" infomercials is going to be challenging.
