Limit Transformation

Limit Transformation (optional minor) by Mr. Twist

This optional power modifies any transformation powers, allowing the user to limit the transformation to smaller areas. This means a character with any of the various APS powers, along with others, can choose to only transform select portions of their bodies. Any power which affects the entire body of the user can be modified through this optional power, though it only applies to triggered physical change powers.
Also, if this power is chosen it applies to every power possessed by the character.

Needed Powers:

Any Alter Physical Structure

Invisibility

Intangibility

Any Alter Physical Structure of Limb

Any other triggered power that alters the character (yes, this includes growth and shrinking)

Changes:

Range: This option does not change the range of any power or subpower it's applied to.

Bonuses: Any changes or bonuses to physical attributes only apply to the portions of the body being transformed. A character with this option using APS: Metal on their arms is not going to be able to take a bullet to the heart any better than anyone else.

Powers: Another change deals with the various subpowers. Certain subpowers are based upon full body transformation, like APS: Liquid's Behemoth subpower. Certain abilities will not work in conjunction with a limited transformation. Increased SDC or AR still work, but only in regards to the portion being transformed. This means that someone with APS: Plasma limits the transformation to their arms, the rest of the body is still vulnerable to normal physical attacks.
