I've got a list of potential uses for Will Power, if you're interested, I can post them. And while I'm thinking about it, I've also got a list for additional things Telepaths can do. It's still in a rough form, but I'm thinking that as the player progresses, they can spend an inventing point to gain an additional ability.

I think I glanced over them, but I'll do a copy and paste so i can print them out. I'll post the Willpower stuff in a few.

Here's a list of possible uses for Willpower. I got the idea for most of them, after reading over a copy of FGU's Psi-World (I picked it up on the cheap from Ebay). The number of uses a character can apply is dependent upon the GM. I tend to allow characters with fewer powers more options. Another suggestion is to have characters spend inventing points, as they advance in level, to develop more abilities, simulating them becoming more experienced with their powers.

POSSIBLE USES FOR WILLPOWER

Feign Death: The character can enter a death like trance. Only a trained medic (EMT, Doctor, or nurse) will be able to detect the deception. The user must state the time duration of the trance before entering this state. While in the death trance, the user is not aware of anything happening around him/her. Trance will be broken if the character suffers any form of harm.

Stasis: Places the character in deep suspended animation. While in this state he/she will not age, and progressive damage (such as blood loss, disease, or severe wounds) will be stabilize. A person in Stasis requires little air and no food and water. The stasis will be broken if the character receives damage while in this state. Before entering the trance, the character must state the duration of the trance.

Speed: Allows the character to double his/her movement rate.

Forced March: Allows the character to double the amount of ground covered in a single day. To accomplish this, the character enters into an active trance state and sets out towards a stated destination. The character will ignore all outside stimuli that do not pertain to reaching his/her goal. Upon reaching the stated goal, or 24 hours has passed, the trance will terminate.

Go without food/water: Allows the character to ignore the body's need for food and water for a maximum of three consecutive days. If the character tries to go beyond this limit, he/she will lose 1 point of Power per hour of the fourth day. Should the character's Power score reach zero, the character will fall into a coma, and will require medical attention and intravenous feeding. 

Go Without Sleep: The character can ignore his/her body's need for rest or sleep for up to three consecutive days. The consequences of trying to push beyond this three day limit are identical to those stated above for 'go without food or water'.

Resist Heat: The character can ignore the effects of working in an unusually hot environment. Note that the ability will not prevent the character from suffering burn damage, but he/she will not be aware of it until the duration of the ability expires.

Resist Cold: Same as resist heat, except that the effects of cold is ignored.

Resist Pain: Allows the character to ignore the effects of pain upon the body. Limbs may be forced to function normally after a major wound or being broken.

Let me know what you think, of these, as I might be able to come up withe a few more.

These are great!
John, when you force a saving throw for a stunt, what is the player saving against?
Thanks.

Thanks,

Its one of the wildcard powers.  You can make up anything you want.

Other uses for Willpower:

Focus on a search: you make your detection rolls on a d20 that action rather than d20.*

Combat: you can redirect your bonuses. This means for each action you can take your accuracy mods and turn them into damage mods for one attack or your damage mods to accuracy.


If you have regeneration, I would allow you to force your body to heal faster but I would treat each extra healing as a seperate action. This is a tiring way to heal, but it's the player's choice. This, I think, simulates Wolverine's healing nicely.
