[Basic/Powers] Looking for a +5% enhancement for Medium

[johndallman]

I have a character who uses Magic as Powers, and buys most of them with +25% No Magical Signature (a re-skin of No Psionic Signature) because he's a stealth and infiltration specialist, and detecting as magical would be a giveaway.

On Medium, with its base cost of [10] this causes a waste of +5% worth of enhancement, and I'm looking for something to fill that. Reliable is a useful +5% enhancement for many powers, but it's rare to roll anything with Medium - it just works.

I can't find anything that looks workable in Basic, Powers, or Power-Ups 4. Any suggestions?

Alternatively, you could look for a -5% limitation. Nuisance Effect might work in this case.

I'd rather not. Nuisance Effects have a way of drawing attention, and this character's specialisation is appearing not to be there at all.

It might also be helpful with other enhancements. As part of my shamanic powers system I use Aware, +50%; Manifestation, +100%; Universal, +50%; and Visual, +50%.

Reliable can be used for Per rolls to sense nearby spirits.

Shave 5% off the Power Modifier (assuming there is one), which is the same as adding another +5%.

For example, this particular character has a quirky talent with Medium that means it's not blocked by anti-magic. Or that Medium isn't magical, in this sense -- it's just something the character can do. Or a bit further out, the usual anti-technology doesn't apply to Medium, because spirits.

Those all look useful, but I'm just trying to deal with a round-off issue here.

However, the character already has a form of See Invisible that works for spirits.

I'm pretty sure I won't get away with that one, given the well-established campaign metaphysics.
