  COSTUME [Body: 7, Gliding: 8]

Pheromones: Jessica's body exudes a high concentration of pheromones eliciting pleasure in most men and fear in most women. Treat her Broadcast Empathy power as a mental attack using APs of Power as the AV/EV, with the person she is interacting with using their Will/Mind as the RV/OV. Positive RAPs are added to her Social interaction rolls v. male targets, while they are subtracted from her rolls v. female targets.

ROLE-PLAYING NOTES
Spider-Woman is a mix of strength and confusion. Her willpower, intellect, and compassion make her a good teammate and companion. However, complications with her powers and her unusual history make it hard for her to get close to others and form meaningful attachments. She is particularly guarded when first meeting people, concerned that any strong feelings are the result of her pheromone-based powers. This makes Spider-Woman seem mysterious and unapproachable, but those who gain her trust and friendship quickly find a devoted hero and loyal friend.

Exusiai's Notes So, how the hell does one write up her pheromone power you ask? Well, I decided to use Broadcast Empathy with some constraints. This was about the best way I could see doing it.
