Gravitus Everlast wrote:Besides, Bio-manipulation isn't just about pain and paralyzation. The way I read it, its about manipulation of the body systems. As in, I can constrict or push the flow of blood to and from one part of the body, which if I do it to the frontal lobes or just behind the eyes, it will cause a migraine. And at that point, you could let go and the migraine would continue, cause that's what migraines do. Ask anyone that's had one. In turn I'm sure you could cure a migraine with it as well. Cause one of the main things my GM taught me about magic and psionics, is that its all in how you use it and how creative you can get. Sure you could do mean and bad things with a lot of these powers, but you can also use them in positive manners. Just like I could break your leg and hold it in a messed up position and then use my psychic healing abilities heal it with the bones all set wrong. Now you're walking around like a gimp with his leg in his ****. Also, Bio manipulation clearly states that you can only paralyze one part of the body per use. True that one part can be a whole leg, but still, only one part at a time.

Gravitus Everlast wrote:I haven't read the description in a while, so I don't remember EXACTLY how Biomannipulation works, but I thought, rather than paralyzing just one limb at a time, why not cut to the chase and give them a migraine headache. I don't care what anybody says, migraines will debilitate a person to the point of putting them to the floor in a whimpering, screaming, writhing ball of pain and suffering. Your vision is blurred, you can't concentrate, you're in more pain than you've ever been in your life, light, sound and motion only make it WORSE, and its all centralized in the cranium, right behind your eyes. If you've never had a migraine, or you get regular headaches and THINK that you're having a migraine, let me describe it for you... Imagine a tiny demon in your head that's blowing up a balloon made of spikes and steel wool, and the bastard won't stop, no matter how much you beg and plead. The only thing you can do is find a dark, quiet place to curl up and hope it passes soon. Now I remember the description for Bio-Mannip saying that you can affect any system in the body, and migraines are supposedly caused by blood flow, and believe me if you've had one, you can feel the blood pressure in your head. You can almost TASTE it. So logically this works for me. How about you folks?
