She doesn't reply to Will due to no bracelet.

We really need to set a time of how long someone needs to be with the group before we can assume s/he got a bracelet at some point.

the problem is not wether or not it will be used that way, but the problem is that it can be used that way without any penalty or repercussion. Imagine it like a brokenly overpowered gun in an FPS. Just because you can turn off the overpowered secondary fire mode and use the okayish main fire mode doesn't make the gun any less broken, nor does it guarantee that you'll whip out secondary fire whenever it damn well is convenient

You misunderstand.
If I abused Nuriel's power to make a sun, I would be called out on it and Elf would put a stop to it.
If I abuse Will's power unreasonably, I'll be getting more people than the one who keeps arguing over everything I do that doesn't fit into her view of what I can complaining about it, and again Elf would put a stop to it.

Speed is still a factor, so you would have damage applied to your hands. You may be looking at a broken bone to a bruise depending on size, speed and trajectory.

Hainawule wouldn't be travelling that fast. Her bones would be smaller than the bones in Will's hands, so if they would be damaged by stopping so would Hai's, when she lit upon the opposite wall or whatever.

Single for would be seventy five and then eighty with a level up...

He's behind on points actually. Also you need at least one point in all stats.

The only stat he lacks points in is Magic, which is logical since he doesn't use magic and Elf said superpowers are based on Mind.

stop restricting the practise to just the event at hand. I am speaking more general. The abuse potential is absolutely immense. The only "drawback" is that it costs Mana, and as I've said, Mana regeneration in this game is pointlessly huge, so it's just a strawman drawback to point at when trying to explain the non-broken-ness.

it's an ability that always makes you know exactly what to do, and now it even gives you the ability to do so. It's simply broken. It's a permanent 22-point stat increase, at no cost whatsoever.

Why are you assuming that it will always be used to replace Dex?

that being said, yes, it is that difficult, especialy if the attack comes from behind. When a ball is thrown at you, knowing where it will go is just half the rent. You also need to be able to move very fast and very precise. Your power is intuition, not reflexes or coordination. Knowing exactly every theorethical step of a waltz wont make you not step on some toes

And yet, once you know where a ball is, it's positively easy to catch if it's thrown straight at you. Even a child can do it.

<I swear...upon the name of the Creator, Shis’m Caes.>
<...I see. Well, it made more sense for God to be a maternal figure in the first place anyways.

Shys'm Caes is a maternal name?
And your BBCode is overly complex.

Are you accounting for the fact that single-form characters get more points? And that Will got a level up?

What part of "Move hand to spot near head" is so super-difficult?

Once you have a bit of knowledge of where the object is going to go, catching it is easy. Think of it as juggling one ball, except you only need to catch it and you have a superpower that lets you forsee where it will go.
Or as catching a ball with such a superpower. Either or.

It's not that I don't like the idea, it's that I'm surprised it's so popular.

I'm not getting this point across clearly, am I?

They're not that many really. I know of only six, of which I have run three. In comparison, there's a much larger amount of medieval strategy games around, or freeform RP's or evolution games.

t seems like the gimmicky kind of game that happens once, maybe with a couple copycats if it's popular.

After all, the schtick gets boring for most folks after a while if you don't get to actually do anything with the ships (e.g, take over the galaxy).

There's still a difference between knowing what to do and actually doing it.

Again, the actually-doing-it part is a lot easier than you're making it out to be.

Also, simply from a game point of view, that would means your statpool is 40 points higher than it actually would be, because your mind stat is used as the dex stat as well, at no downsides

1. No, Will cannot use his Mind stat for everything dexterity can do. Only some things, and only with an explanation given if demanded.
2. I'd call not having any kind of superhuman ability past that (unless you count "Dispense Plot Information") a pretty big downside. When Will has to measure up to living flamethrowers, shy girls who can make anything, and lilliputians who can paralyze people with a poke, he needs something to be more than Mr. Exposition. (And so far, he hasn't been much more.)
3. Will has a Dexterity of 18. Even if his Mind applied to everything, he would only be 12 points ahead of the curve, not 40.

and yeah, what Kyle said, it does come from behind, but that is besides the point. Theory =/= Practise

Well, putting aside that Elf said that Will's power applies to practice, the use I was having Will use it for--determining Hai's trajectory--is 100% theory.
