Needless to say, I wouldn't recommend this attack for any PC:

Munchkin's Magic Bullet (+900%):
Piercing Attack 1d (Accurate +20, +100%; Affects Insubstantial, +20%;
Cosmic, No die roll required, No active defence allowed, Irresistible attack,
+700%; Increased Range *500, +80%; No Blunt Trauma, -20%; Underwater,
+20%) [50]. Notes: This is a worked example of the fearsome combo of
Cosmic enhancements on Powers p.101, plus some useful add-ons. On your
turn, simply choose any target you want to hit -- a foe's vitals, skull, eyes or
whatever -- and you always hit it point-blank. The foe gets no dodge
and his DR is bypassed. If your effective skill falls below 3, take 1 second to
Aim to get the Acc 23 bonus. 50 points.

The GM may totally ban PCs from taking this ability. If they don't obey, feel
free to give them a lot of Homogenous or Diffuse foes as countermeasure.

Sharp Telekinetic Concave Construct Generation (+120%)

Innate Attack: 3d cutting; Variable (+5%), Underwater (+20%), Increased Range 1/2D only x10 (+15%), Cone 2 yrds (+70%), Selectivity (+10%)

3d cutting - 1/2d n/a, Max 100, Acc 3, RoF 1, Shots n/a, Recoil 1

7 points/level base - (15.4 points/level adjusted) - [47 points total].

A metahuman ability that generates a sharp telekinetic concave construct that can cut and shear in half objects or people. The construct generated is faintly dark with an ominous buzzing sound as it strikes. The user can also cause the construct to expand on the way to a target hitting a much larger area. Lastly the user can reduce the amount of force that is put into the construct causing less cutting damage to the target that it strikes.

Okay, I'll admit it: I have no idea what this would look like. I started doodling illustrations for some of these, but I don't have a clue what this one even is, really... :(

That's okay, when I posted it originally to check if it was built correctly some folks had similar questions about it's appearance.

Don't know what a concave line looks like?

http://www.physicsclassroom.com/Class/refln/U13L3a.html

Basically it looks like that (a quarter moon shape) but it's got a sharp edge. It would be like if you were to go into a metal shop and cut a razor sharp quarter moon shape from say some sheet metal and toss it (like a frisbee) at someone. :)

Danmaku ("Bullet Storm") (+400%):
Piercing Attack 2d (All-Out, -25%; Area Effect, 16 yards, +200%; Blockable,
-10%; Bombardment, effective skill 10, -15%; Emanation, -20%; Rapid Fire,
RoF 150, +250%; Selective Area, +20%) [50].

Notes: Sprinkles lots of bullets all over the place!

The bullets fly quite slowly, but misteriously identify friend or foe. The storm
of bullet -- looks like a sort of geometrical pattern from above -- will
eventually overwhelm everyone around the user. On the down side, however,
the user never gets active defenses while activating this ability.

This is a very basic attack ability used by opponents in various 2D top-down
shooters (like Shikigami no Shiro or Touhou Koumakyou); many have a more
powerful Danmaku with different geometrical shapes, possibly with the
Trigger (Injury) limitation. 50 points.

Addictively Yours! (+145%)
Affliction/2: Addiction (+15%); No Signature (+20%); Aura (+80%); Extended Duration: Permenant (+150%); Blood Agent (-40%); Biological (-10%); Always On (-10%); Melee Attack: Reach C (-30%); Onset: Day (-30%). - [49]

Anyone you are physically intimate with (this is not limited to just sexual activity), has a chance to become physically addicted to spending time with you. Anyone you infect that fails a HT-1 roll will gain the following addiction after 24 hours:

Addiction: Spending time with infector [Expensive, Totally Addictive, Stimulant]

The infected must spend no less then 1 hour each day with you to satisfy their addiction (though they will often wish to spend more time with you than this).

Breaking the addition can be achieved through being weaned off it, going cold turkey off the addiction, or receiving a blood transfusion from the infector.

Umm, the examples in that page are cross-sections. Concave is more of a bowl shape. If you want something like a simplified batleth in shape, like a crescent, may I suggest "lunate"?

In recognition of the happy coincidental conjunction of the previous two posts... a grok, by Mr. Hein:

"The Interpretation of Dreams"

Everything's either
Concave or convex
So whatever you dream
Will be something with sex.

Looks great.

If possible, it would be better if you define how to get the victim to snap out
of the addiction (the 150-percent version of Permanent must incorporate
some Terminal Condition). How about a kiss by a member of the opposite sex?

Hm, I thought perhaps the rules for breaking an addiction would work? Is this not sufficient? =?
