Character History:

Before Sauron was a dinosaur man, he was just a normal human child visiting an Aztecan temple with his father when he was attacked by pterodactyl demons. As they were attacking him, radiation from glowing green rocks fused their DNA with his, giving him the power to drain life force and transformed him into a dinosaur man. Realizing that he was always evil, he named himself after Sauron from Lord of the Rings and set off to do battle against the X-Men, for reasons.

After being defeated by the X-Men, he went to the Savage Lands where he found crystals that could turn people into dinosaurs, studying these clearly scientific crystals, he realized his ultimate goal. To turn everyone into dinosaurs. Teaming up with Stegron, a stegosaurus man who could control dinosaurs with his mind, he absorbed from him the power of controlling dinosaurs with his mind, allowing him to actually command the dinosaur men that he was making and they wouldn't turn against him. He's not a smart man.

Going to sleep in his home in the sewers of New York, he woke up in the sewers of another city on another planet. He doesn't realize that he's not in New York. He chalks it up to sleeping through an alien invasion and there being strange architecture choices in the rebuilding. He is still trying to turn everyone into dinosaurs.

Heyo, welcome to Multerra. A few things.

  1. Could you please list out the individual costs of the effect ranks and modifiers on your abilities? It makes them a lot easier to check for errors that way.
  2. It seems like you’ve listed Limited where you meant to list Finite.
  3. For the record, without the self/other modifier, Sauron can’t use these dinosaur powers on himself, which seems counterintuitive. It’s not objectively wrong, but it seems like a thing he should be capable of?

In addition, I will say that if you intend to use these dinosaur abilities to do something like “oh i gave my opponent dinosaur hands so now he can’t use his gun!” down the line, you’re going to need to either give the moves debuff to allow them to work without the target’s permission, or expend focus whenever you do that.

Also, typical ongoing is only going to last until the end of a scene. (aka one fight) I figured you should know this, as well.

Sauron

1.) Donso
2.) Changed, sorry about that
3.) Why would he want to do it to himself? He's already a dinosaur.
4.) Oh, of course not. That'd be silly.
5.) Changed

Well, with regards to “he’s already a dinosaur”- I’m saying that as he is, he can turn other people into dinosaurs with damage 5 claws and all, right? But as it stands, he doesn’t have damage 5 claws that he can use himself or anything. He’s not any stronger or tougher than your average human at the moment. Without buying flight, he can’t even really use his wings to fly.

In a sentence: He’s kind of helpless in a fight on his own. Which isn’t against the rules or anything, of course, I just figured I would warn you? I wasn’t quite sure if that was what you wanted.

I know, he's an idiot. He's a Silver Age villain. He HAS to work with other people.
