You're right, it is up to the GM. Unless he's appointed you a co-gm, it'd probably be best to stop making assumptions on his behalf about what is/isn't acceptable, the GM is capable enough to point out problems as is.

In addition, at no point has it been said that secrecy is a major point in the RP, only that the characters would have kept their powers hidden up until now, and until the GM says otherwise, there isn't a problem with a character having the ability to sense others with powers or even what their powers are.

Now, while there's nothing wrong with making comments on how one could improve their character, it's a completely different story saying that a Character should be changed without the GM saying so first. So, it'd be appreciated if you let the GM GM, instead of taking things into your own hands.

Well, is it the character's intention to "out" other superhumans? If he does, that would create a source of conflict, wouldn't it? The idea of powers needing to be "secret" only harbors suponse when there's a chance of exposure.

It should also be recognized that players are already in the know of who's super and who isn't, so there's no real surprise factor if someone's character is "discovered."

I, for one, (as someone looking to apply) am entirely comfortable with another character being able to "sense" the presence of superpowers.

The scope of Acceptable powers isn't up to anyone but the GM, so if you have a problem with it, bring it up with him.

@Juicy That makes three of us.

I'm saying that not every issue needs to go to the GM if the players can sort it out themselves.

<Snipped quote by Juicy>

It's one thing to create a source of conflict, it's another thing that one character knows every other super in the story, and it might not be the purpose of the character to out other supers, but it's not really fun knowing that there's a character who can completely fuck yours over without any effort. And the players know who's super, but the characters for the most part have no clue.

@DeadDrop
If having Cliche powers was a problem, none of our characters would have been accepted to start off with.

And about "Policing," mate, this is only happening because you've tried having two players change their powers. It's not yours, mine, or anybody else place to do that except for the GMs.
