Hopefully you rolled high on your PE attribute. And it's not like bestowing the power will make them righteous fighters of crime. They might fight if their city is being destroyed, otherwise you're gonna need some Cape Groupies. I'm sortof a realist when it comes to superpowers so I see superheroes having to develop their powers over time. The more they use their powers and train, the more powerful they become. What's a guy gonna do with 3 minutes of Sonic Speed suddenly? Run into a wall because he can't control it just yet. Or better yet: give a police officer Cyclops power and watch him blast everything in sight (no pun intended) because he doesn't have glasses or a visor to shield it. It reminds me of Ando on Heroes when he got his power and trying to squint to time travel when it wasn't the power he got.
True, This power is Lame on it's
own for one Other reason you didn't mention... Those powers you mentioned are RANDOM and Minor only AND all level One powers (Never Higher).
True, if you've got another power than you can grant THAT power to another... But only at ½ Power.
Lets hope that the other power you rolled isn't; Bio-aura, Clock manipulation, or Super Power Punch
This power has Sooooo many draw backs (Like APS: Copy)
Lets list em... <Viable for those with ONLY this power>
►Only 3miniutes Per level
►Uses HP (if other than this power you're normal- that mean 1-2 uses every TWO to Three days.)
►HP is NEEDED in a fight AND is Very slow to recover
►Both you and the person you give power to has NO idea what that powers gonna be... Meaning that you can Not give them help nor instruction in its use...Also
►Since neither of you know what he power is going to be, neither of you can know What that power Is (unless its overt) when you get it... You may likely end up with powers and Never know it.
►Because of the limited nature of this power (in uses per day) your Never gonna see grow in this power Nor your level of experiance since... your gonna be to sickly (loss nearly ALL HP each day) to fight And....
►This power can can ONLY be used on a limited number of super classes, all of which either see it's effects reduced or (due to being a fighting class) will see you as more of a liability in the field, thus your not even good for being a "Side-Kick".
►The power never seems to grow and has no uses in ANY other manor other than granting of powers on Non-supered humanoids,,, It doesn't even work on animals.
So in NO WAY does it have ANY utility usages, as it is TOTALLY dependant (Making you a Co-dependant) on Humans being around, and being desierable to giving the power to.
Add in a power Like Regeneration Though, and This power combined would make you the BEST healer of Normals on the planet... (Screw Divine Healing
).
This combo would make you a god to people... You'd have as many followers as someone with Divine Aura... PLUS, on top of Healing & Curing 1000's of people of their woes everyday, you could Finally make great usage of the Grant SP power as you'd have constantly recovering HP, and thusily you could grow in level.
