>that bit was there to make it go down a bit since it wouldn't be having a rule on every move saying the different charge which would have made each power go up to 600 instead of the flat 900 additional cost.
>I meant for it to be like a tracer bullet but that works too
>Either/or is ok but 50 meters from emp's head is pretty good
>1500+900 from the additional move effects

> Okay, I see where you're coming from now... but if you're going that route I'd suggest reworking all of the moves to have a duration element of equal length rather than an increase in power... I can do that for you if you'd like, and it'll probably increase the chances of it being improved a fair bit... but it could make Gaze kinda weird, since the only way to work it (without being told to break that one off into a separate move) would be to increase the laser's duration to match that of the other moves (2.5 minutes max), which would obviously make it much, much, much weaker. It will make it a fair bit more likely to get approved as one move and approved cheaper... but I dunno if you'd be willing to change that effect so drastically to achieve that?
Side-note; doing this would also make terrifying visions and psychic maelstrom much less effective.

> Naah... it's laser eyes. Making it have homing would be kinda silly. Also, it would completely negate the drawback of him not being able to move his head, so the laser would need to be weaker.

> Okay, sure, next time I write up an edit for the move I'll put that back in. I like it better that way myself, since it means that the Range aspect applies equally to all effects, which makes it seem more like one big move rather than a bunch of small ones stuck together.

> Like I said in my first point, I won't say it's impossible to get it approved like that, but I doubt it'd fly. You'll probably need to either change the charge effect to a duration increase (of equal size) for all aspects of the move, which should hopefully reduce the charge cost to just 300 OM (like for Dabony's move), or you'll maybe get asked to pay 600 per effect... just putting that note there won't be convincing enough to persuade anyone who wouldn't already have been willing to give you it at the cheaper price, I don't think.
