The Witchblade

Help?!

I am building the Sara Pezzini character from the Witchblade comics. I am workinng on the whole witchblade gauntlet issue. What I'd like is some input on how I should set it up.

One school of thought is make it an ally with dependency on host that has powers that affect its host. Then tie it to Sara.

The other way is build it as part of the Sara character with all powers granted by the witchblade (familiar/symbiont at -10%)

I'd make it an Ally, since it is sentient and occasionally acts on its own accord.

But aside from that, modular abilities with "granted by ally, -40%" and "Nuissance Effect: Shreds clothing to the point of indecency, -5%."

OK,

So make it an ally, give it modular abilities that are usable on the host?

What about this, give the witchblade stretching since it extends itself over the host as armor. Yet also have the other abilities as well.

To be clear: I'd stat Pezzini with Modular Abilities, modified with "Granted by Ally, -40% (B38).

The Allly granting such abilities doesn't have to have modular abilities itself. But in this case, I think it is appropriate that it does, though possibly with a "not when Ally uses modular abilities limitation (?!?). It's definitely a 150% ally, even with Pezzini paying points for the modular abilities herself.

I think the witchblade has some sort of Diffuse. Hardening is just DR from the modular pool.

Though DR and some Innate Attacks might be worth statting as regular powers. Would also lessen the need for that many modular ability points.
