Default [POWERS] Walls that turn

Reading about the wall enhancement there seems to be a flat straight wall (+30%) and a shape wall (+60%).

How much would a limited shaped wall enhancement cost? Like a wall that can change direction mid length. How much would you price multiple directional changes? Such as "can change direction 45 degrees per damage die a number of times equal to the number of damage dice."

+50% is what I'm thinking but I want the hive minds opinion.

I'd eyeball it at +50% for wall that can have a single turn, or a wall that can follow a single smooth curve.

Anything more, I'd probably just say get the +60%

As a player, I'd consider that for an extra +10% I can do whatever the heck I want with the shape of the wall, and just go with that.

As a GM, I look at statements like this:

and cringe.

I'd say 50% is about right (because it is more useful than a straight wall), but the practical use of a limited turning wall is pretty low considering that you can put one up every turn so long as the FP holds out.

A smooth curve is a nice addition.

A single turn for +50% seems a bit costly. Maybe +40% for a single turn and additional +5% per addition turn.

SenorPrez, Agreed its a little too rule heavy.
