I have an empath character whose powers are like a double edge sword for her. Her set up template is like Telepathy but its more emotional based.
Empathy:
- Int Bonus
- Empathic projection
- Empathic reading
- Empathic overload
and so on but she has the nasty draw back of becoming a slave to the strongest emotion around her and it causes her other powers to grow out of control as well.But I have it that its an area of effect that she has to place her stones of an stones of empathy into it every panel or else she will lose control or if she cannot block the intelligence of those around her. I.E Leska is surrounded by the X-men in a normal day to day situation, she has to place 5 into her empathy to keep the emotions of others out of her mind but professor xaiver comes into the room. Her empathy is unable to block his intelligence (5 vs his 7 intelligence) and she forms an empathic link with him. She begins to act and think as he would as well as feel as he does about. But unfortunately, she also gets to feel the sting of suppressed pain and depression which begin to rip apart of the seams. While being faced with these emotions she begins to lose the ability to control her powers of fire and begins to forcefully put stones into her mastery and cause things to burn. In trying to control her power of flames she is unable to keep her empathy under check and then begins to take on the emotions of the other x-men around her which cause her powers to grow rapidly unstable.
This I had it more of a roleplay kinda of situation like "power is painful to use". But I had it as a -4 (only cause her other powers are directly influenced by her emotions)
