Thank you! Now, as for your move....
What is the area of effect? Must he concentrate on the subject for a certain amount of time for his hold to take effect? Must he look at them to focus his power, or "aim" it somehow (since you don't have the Homing proficiency yet, the answer to this should probably be 'yes')? Can he move around while performing it? Can he manipulate only one subject at a time?
What is the extent of his control over them-- are they aware of what's taking place around them (puppetry, y'know), or are they mindless zombies? Do they have any free will whatsoever? How long does this effect last, and must he concentrate on keeping other minds under his control? Remember, there needs to be some kind of drawback, like fatigue!
This kind of Move would likely differ in strength depending on an opponent's TEC, like this:
Adding what I've bolded should work. Going back to my free will/awareness question, any difference in effect could be the outcome of higher or lower TEC.

Quote:It's okay to use stats as a measuring stick to determine a move's effectiveness, (for example, saying that a hypnotic move is more effective when your TEC is higher than your opponent's TEC) but try to make this realistic and gradual, as with the Telepathy power description, rather than an either/or affect. For example, saying that with slightly higher TEC, your opponent may get drowsy, whereas with double their TEC, they can almost be put to sleep entirely. This makes it more fun for the writer as well.
