[Basic/Powers] Looking for a +5% enhancement for Medium
I have a character who uses Magic as Powers, and buys most of them with +25% No Magical Signature (a re-skin of No Psionic Signature) because he's a stealth and infiltration specialist, and detecting as magical would be a giveaway.
On Medium, with its base cost of [10] this causes a waste of +5% worth of enhancement, and I'm looking for something to fill that. Reliable is a useful +5% enhancement for many powers, but it's rare to roll anything with Medium - it just works. I can't find anything that looks workable in Basic, Powers, or Power-Ups 4. Any suggestions?

I'd rather not. Nuisance Effects have a way of drawing attention, and this character's specialisation is appearing not to be there at all.

Re: [Basic/Powers] Looking for a +5% enhancement for Medium
It might also be helpful with other enhancements. As part of my shamanic powers system I use Aware, +50%; Manifestation, +100%; Universal, +50%; and Visual, +50%.
Reliable can be used for Per rolls to sense nearby spirits.

Re: [Basic/Powers] Looking for a +5% enhancement for Medium
Shave 5% off the Power Modifier (assuming there is one), which is the same as adding another +5%.
For example, this particular character has a quirky talent with Medium that means it's not blocked by anti-magic. Or that Medium isn't magical, in this sense -- it's just something the character can do. Or a bit further out, the usual anti-technology doesn't apply to Medium, because spirits. |

I'm pretty sure I won't get away with that one, given the well-established campaign metaphysics.

Re: [Basic/Powers] Looking for a +5% enhancement for Medium
If you have Enhancements there's something Low Psychic Signature or Low Signature, Variable for +5%. Sounds like it would work well for your character.

Re: [Basic/Powers] Looking for a +5% enhancement for Medium
Usually On , although there isn't really any advantage, unless there are spirits around that would cause huge trauma if perceived ?

I'm pretty sure nothing already exists that fits the bill; the choices are either to leave it, or invent something.
