I have an odd request: I will be gone camping until the 6th of july. I request that the GM be unfair and either have the 3 cops unload into Brick and drop him like a sack of potatoes or else have the sirens possess brick and have the players be forced to take him down as well. this way I have a legitimate reason for being part of the RP for 2 weeks. 

Secondly, I had an idea: at next level up: can brick spend 2 points to reduce the cost of metamorphic by 1 from 3 to 2, then spend 2 more points to reduce it again from 2 to 1? THis means he would spend 6 to initiate stone skin, but could regenerate 2 energy and spend 1 point on the 3rd round to shift or maintain his skin for another 3 rounds, basically making him able to maintain his power indeffinately... Or just spent the 5 points to defense and be the equivalent of it always on armored unless he spends the 6 to armor up again.
