Editing Trickster (section)

==Abilities and Powers==
Francis' power enables him to swap the locations of two objects with similar mass, including himself. <ref name=":0">"And Trickster, their leader, is a teleporter.  Not just himself.  He can make anything he can see teleport.  Except there's a special rule to his power, a restriction.  He has to swap the places of two things with roughly equivalent mass.  The bigger the difference in mass, the slower the swap and shorter his range." - [[Tangle 6.1]]</ref> 

Trickster’s powers only work on targets that are both within his field of view.<ref name="17.7">[[Migration 17.7]]</ref> His speed/ease of being able to swap is dependent on distance (although not as much as one might suspect) and difference in mass – too much of one or the other and it’s not doable in any reasonable amount of time.<ref>Trickster’s powers are sight dependent, and his speed/ease of being able to swap is dependent on distance (not as much as one might suspect) and difference in mass – too much of one or the other and it’s not doable in any reasonable amount of time. The problem here is both awareness (he doesn’t necessarily know what’s happening) and sight: He can’t see Noelle (who is at Coil’s base with Oliver & Genesis) or the Slaughterhouse Nine (who are upstairs, while he’s downstairs talking with Noelle via. webcam). - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/07/03/plague-12-3/#comment-2835 Comment by Wildbow] on [[Plague 12.3]]</ref><ref name=":0" /> He needs to even out any differences in mass by sucking in surrounding air, which takes time.<ref name="17.6">[[Migration 17.6]]</ref> He can use his powers to feel the weight of an object he is observing, and he has a sense of how easy it would be to swap two targets at a time.<ref>He was aware of the pressure, aware of the reaching.  He tried to push it to move, like he’d move his hand, and it did.  He couldn’t exactly feel the shape, but had a sense of the ''heft'' of the thing he was pressing against.  He pressed the other presence against the coffee table, but didn’t feel the same chord. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/01/13/migration-17-6/ Excerpt] from [[Migration 17.6]]</ref><ref name="17.7e1">Krouse coughed and groaned as his stomach rebelled against the violence.  His eyes and his power roving across his surroundings.  Something he could swap for the uniformed officer or for the gun.  With his eyes, he eyeballed mass, eyeballed size and likely volume, tried to match it to what he was feeling from the gun or the officer.<br/><br/>The officer kicked him.<br/><br/>Swap the lamp for the gun?  No, the lamp was too lightweight.<br/><br/>He resolved to switch himself and the officer, grabbing air to compensate for the volume.  The difference was larger than it was with him and Cody, it required extra seconds.<br/>[...]<br/>His power still had a grip on the man in uniform.  Krouse forced a swap.<br/><br/>It didn’t change the situation much.  He was still lying on the ground, the uniform still standing, but Krouse was now behind his opponent.<br/>[...]<br/>He reached out, and he found something.  He wasn’t thinking in the right terms.  Was still thinking too much about ''shape'' and not about mass.  The heavy wool blanket that was draped over Noelle had roughly the same mass as the gun.<br/><br/>But he had to be looking at both to swap them.  Krouse let the gun go, backed away as rapidly as he could as he got to his feet.  The uniform was standing, moving his hands to get a grip on the trigger and barrel-<br/><br/>-And the gun was gone, replaced by a blanket.  Krouse tackled his unarmed opponent, knocking him to the ground, grabbing at his wrists.<br/><br/>[...]<br/><br/>Fizzing and pulling on her skin.  It wasn’t the most apt description, but Krouse wasn’t sure he’d be able to accurately describe the pressure or the feeling of heft he got when he pressed his power into something - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/01/14 Excerpt] from [[Migration 17.7]]</ref> <ref name="R1">Trickster - Line of sight, swaps everyone and everything, comingles swapped matter - person + mailbox = two mashed together abominations of flesh and mailbox, slowly dying as organs fail. PRT van + PRT van = two mashed together heaps of metal with people crushed inside, very possibly setting fire or exploding given friction of metal on metal and leaking gasoline. Size/mass/density sense that normally allows Trickster to gauge how swappable things are is extended to give knowledge of everyone and everything within a one-mile radius. Reflexes amped up. Effectively navigates a battlefield by swapping himself instantly and repeatedly, mapping out routes in advance, leaving mangled destruction in his wake, flanking and hiding. - [https://redd.it/3j3n4j Characters as S-Class Threats] Comment by Wildbow on Reddit.</ref>
