"Not really."

"Ah. I see. Can you pick a general direction for your powers, then?"

[GreatWyrmGold]

"Yeah."

[Harry Baldman]

"Yeah."

"Gotten anything really exciting yet? Like seeing the past, for instance?"

[GreatWyrmGold]

"No. Well, once I could make these zappy laser disks, but they didn't help much."

<ability description>

Tone this ability down a bit.
Or even better, choose something else since we already have people who can mess with fire and ice and I'd prefer to have more unique abilities.

Right now it is too powerful. Anything you touch? 10 000 degrees Celsius? And the ability to direct this ability to wherever you want? I'm assigning points to abilities to see if I should give them drawbacks and right now your ability is a -4.3(!) based on the guidelines I have (for comparison, all characters start at +2). You're gonna have some major drawbacks with a -4.3, even if you roll a six during character creation.

Updated my abilities

Depending on the capabilities of that telekinesis, it could still be pretty powerful. I can see him slinging big blades of metal at supersonic speeds, for instance, or stopping bullets with his mind, or lift his boots and clothes to let him fly. Basically, he'd be able to be Superman, plus or minus a few gimmicks.

When I mentioned size, I meant anything larger than 2'' diameter would be slightly hard to control, and anything 1' or over would be very hard. And he can't fling it at like, 100000mph. He can move it towards things slower or faster depending on the size.

"Ah. What's the worst thing you've gotten so far?"

1. Bullets don't travel anywhere near 100,000 miles per hour.
2. Metal blades don't really need to travel that fast to be deadly.
3. Speaking of stuff like that, that bullet thing would be pretty easy to do with pretty much any weapon short of a broadsword or a haymaker.
4. You wouldn't need too fine of control with your shoes to levitate at least.
So we're going from "Superman, give or take" to merely "Man with an inherent gun, the ability to stop weapons, and levitation". Still a bit on the powerful side, especially when you factor in the more conventional uses.
how long a range is the telekinesis, anyways?

"No. Well, once I could make these zappy laser disks, but they didn't help much."

"Ah. What's the worst thing you've gotten so far?"

"Probably the hair armor. I've also had some powers that basically do nothing."

[Coolrune206]

Telekinesis? The strongest range possibility would be probably 3 feet, weakening from there on outwards. And it doesnt work as things flying at me suddenly stops. It would slow down, then start moving the other direction. Probably hitting me before full stop

[GreatWyrmGold]

How much force can you apply with your telekinesis?

[Coolrune206]

Force? Hmmm... Think just a few newtons per second.

[GreatWyrmGold]

So...a few meters per second cubed?
