Malediction as Limitation?
I'm trying to design a telepathic invisibility power which works by clouding the minds of nearby creatures.
I could just use bog-standard Invisibility and slap the Telepathic power limitation on it, but I want it to be resisted by Will and not work so well at range. For an attack power I'd use the Emanation and Resistible limitations but that doesn't work here. Malediction enhancement with Sense-based as a limitation doesn't work because Invisibility normally works fine at range and only affects sight, making a single-sense Sense-Based limitation meaningless. So, it seems simplest to allow the Malediction enhancement to serve as -20% limitation to powers which normally work unresisted, have no range, and which already affect just one sense like Chameleon, Invisibility, or Silence. Likewise, the Resistible limitation could be worth an extra -10% for powers which normally aren't resisted, like the advantages listed above. Are there any RAW examples of powers which work like my telepathic Invisibility power? Are there RAW limitations which have the same effects as a modified form of Malediction + Resistible? |

It may also be worth looking into using the Invisibility Art cinematic skill as an alternative.

if targets can resist the attribute roll you require to use the ability it's an additional -10% on top of the usual -10% for IQ/DX/HT or -5% for Will |
