Malleability + Shrink/Growth?

[Reece]

A lot of my questions seem to end up clogging up the Quick Questions thread, and not being particularly quick to answer, so just in case that happens again, I'm posting this one as a separate topic.

Okay, so in the Rules on Shrink & Growth, this is said:

This allows a user to shrink up to three inches tall without needing a dedicated Alternate Form. This can be used in combination with Malleability (to remove the lower constraints on size) or Shapeshifting (to become smaller creatures).

This allows a user to grow up to 100 metres tall without needing to use Alternate Forms. It can be used in combination with Shapeshifting to allow shapeshifts to gigantic creatures, or in concert with Malleability to remove the upper constraints on size.

I can't help but get the impression, though, that either I'm missing some obscure rule which has been mentioned somewhere out of the way and which hasn't been included on the actual Proficiencies & Powers page for some reason ... or maybe Omni just hasn't really considered what completely removing constraints like this could do. Not that I'm complaining, or anything, but it seems kinda unbelievable that we're really given the option of making characters so minuscule/immense.

For example, if there really are no constraints on how small your character can shrink then it would theoretically be possible to shrink them down to the size of a single molecule, or even an atom (not needing to breathe is considered an RP Fodder ability, according to Survival's description, so that needn't be an issue). Your character would be literally impossible to see. You wouldn't even need Stealth. Combined with Flight, and maybe Super Speed, your opponent wouldn't even have a chance of accidentally squishing you.

And Growth is, if anything, even more absurd. No upper limit? Okay, I get that you'll just end up seriously injuring yourself if you try and stamp on a building whilst having less than 20 ATK, no matter how large you are, and being a larger target just makes you easier for others to hit, but even so ... unlimited size?
In case anyone is having trouble comprehending just how awesome absurd that is, allow me to include an image of a monster from an anime I've watched:
[spoiler][/spoiler]That black line there is a living being, and in case it wasn't obvious; those rocks it's towering over are mountains; and that image doesn't even show its whole body. That thing is thirty kilometres tall. And assuming the Rules' description of Growth is correct then it would be entirely feasible to play not only it as a character in the Omniverse, but even more absurdly huge creatures, such as Devil Survivor's Alioth and Evangelion's Sahaquiel, without having to shrink them down at all, other than when passing through portals.


Again, I just want to clarify; this is by no means a complaint. If this is actually supposed to be possible then I for one will be very happy ... but it just seems too good to be true, to me. Given how limited everything else seems to be (Enhanced Senses, Teleportation & Telekinesis, for example, have very clear limits), I'm just having a hard time believing that those descriptions are accurate.

Anyways, thanks in advance to anyone who could be bothered to read all of this, and is actually considering replying.

I think you're interpreting this backward. Growth/Shrink would remove the size limit on Malleability, not the other way around.

When used in tandem, malleability would be given the constraints that Grow/Shrink have, instead of +/- half.

Yeah what Kakashi said.

Ah, I see now. :roll:

Thnaks.
