I was hoping for some clarification on how the shink powers works. Does it shrink the characters's equipment including objects they might be carrying? How does shrinking effect the characters movement rate? If a character takes Density and shrinks to 1", how does melee combat work? They seem kind of short to make an effective attack against a regular sized opponent.

Thanks!

Yep, the equipment shrinks as well (though that could be alterable with trappings).

It doesn't. Again, trappings might alter that, but typically the character has some way of retaining their normal movement. It doesn't have to be "movement" as normal; it could be "leaping" (where each leap is about the equivalent of a normal step).

It works the same as it does in the comics, which is to say no differently than normal (apart from the specific benefits of the power on attack rolls). Going with the lack of limitations on movement above, the character could easily "leap" to the height of a normal person in order to attack them in the torso or even head.

Of course, these are only issues if the character doesn't have a movement power like leaping or flight.
