A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle.

Toxic Attack (20d, Side Effect: Debt)
In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes.

Affliction (Bad Smell, Always On, Area Effect, Emanation, Onset)
Guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days.

I was going to answer Pee Kitty's post, but the quote showed me the answers. And mine were wrong! :sad:

My contribution ...

Crushing Attack 1 (Cone, 4 yards, +90%; Cosmic, Ignores DR, +300%; Surge, +20%; Increased Range x5, +20%; Only on Unliving, -20%; Always On, -20%; Only when Unmasked, -10%; No Knockback, -10%; No Blunt Trauma, -20%; Nuisance Effect / Curdles Milk -5%) [23]

"A face that would stop a clock" (also "a face that would break a mirror" and "a face that would curdle milk")

The unmasked face will break any small fragile object, including mirrors. Clocks (and other small devices) would be broken and subject to shorting out. Milk would curdle.

Problem is that Franklin didn't say that. Correct is:

Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards, there it enters the roots of the vines, to be changed into wine, a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy. -- Benjamin Franklin (1779)
