Now when I think of a Mutant, I think of someone constantly changing. Evolving. So what about a click power on a long rech, that randomly gives you a temp power. What those temp powers are? I dunno. But they could create a few new powers and mix them with a few choice temp powers already in game. The charges/durations could scale with lvl, possibly?

The only reason I like Dimension Shift now is that it's a power I can skip guilt-free.

But at the same time, my reaction to it is what it is. I could easily pat everyone on the back and tell them how wonderful their stuff is, but I don't think I'd be doing anyone any favors by doing that. I don't star anything I don't think is ready to be starred and I didn't star your arc for that very reason.

I don't like to be the reason that someone's work doesn't get played and low-starring an unplayed arc is the quickest way to consign it to the 'never-played' bin.

One person's reaction alone is probably never enough to worry about. If you get several plays and the consensus of opinion is similar, then I would consider what might be causing players to react that way and adapt.

The entire justification for the character's presence in the arc is presumably to prevent the situation from escalating into a full blown conflict between Arachnos and the Fifth Column, right? For that to be a possibility, there has to be an organizational connection between the uprising and the Fifth Column.

Otherwise, Arachnos will squish the uprising and the Fifth Column will write off the death of their defector as a loss. The character's presence is extraneous to both of those things. The character is there to accomplish one of three things presumably:

1.) To save the Kommisar - Obviously this is not true, because the character turns on the Kommisar at the end of the arc for some reason that is not entirely clear to me. But even with my confusion on that point, it is obvious that the character is not here to do that.

2.) To protect the people of the Isles - Obviously this is also untrue, because the character from the beginning of the Arc starts killing the people of the Isles who are rising up against Arachnos.

3.) To prevent some hypothetical escalation of this situation from happening - Presumably this is the true justification for the character's presence, but it just doesn't hold water in the context of the arc as it is played, because there is absolutely no possibility that this will escalate beyond a very small regional event. The uprising is weak from the start. It has no organizational backing from one of the larger factions. And it has no plan for success... or at least not one that the character knows. And without that knowledge, the character's reaction when told to do this should be, "Uh... why? Why would I surrender my integrity and everything that I stand for to stop a threat that is not a threat? Why should I join up with an evil organization to slap around some oppressed people who are trying to fight for their freedom when in the end, my actions will accomplish nothing?"

That is the problem. Without some hint that this uprising presents a greater danger to the world than the status quo, (ie... Arachnos), the character's actions don't make any sense if the character is a hero.
