Talk:MTH:Powers Q-Z
The Reach Power was deleted due to duplication of the Plasticity power.
Deleted the Shrink and Grow powers, as they power duplicate Beta Shapeshift with a weakness.
Folded Soul Weapon into the Exanamic Object merit. Original text read "This power is identical in effect to the Exanimaic Object merit, except: ", which suggested that the Merit should simply be expanded.
I wrote Reach for a specific reason, and it duplicates one of Plasticity's effects.... one single effect. Should I remove Force Bolt because Elemental Anima has the Blast technique? Should I get rid of Density Control and Phasing? The rationale for Reach is: http://pdsh.wikia.com/wiki/Crane
Crane cannot slip through cracks. He does not have plasticity. But he can punch someone from across the room. Having extending arms is different from having extending everything, and it's common enough in the superhero genre (Tons of robots have extending arms, Abyss from X-Men has spring arms, etc) that it deserves its own power.
Also, Growth and Shrink did not duplicate Shapeshift. The two are somewhat similar, but with that sort of reasoning I might as well remove half of the powers on this wiki.
I've seen you editting (and by that I mean deleting) a lot of material on the wiki. If there is something you don't like, there is no need to delete it. As a rule of thumb, if something is on the wiki, someone is probably using it in their game. I, for example, really don't like Enlivening Pathos, Sidekick, Elite Thespian, or Fighting Style: Tanker. Instead of removing them from the wiki, I just tell my players to ignore them. I don't change a document that people other than myself are using. It's far better to have too much material on this wiki than the bare minimum for it to function. If two powers TRULY overlap completely, then deleting one is fine. But when two powers are genuinely unique enough to deserve their own entry - merits included - there's no reason not to leave them there for whomever is using them.
