Editing Adamant (section)

===Drawbacks===
His metallokinesis focuses on strength instead of agility/accuracy:<ref name=R1>As for Adamant vs. Cuff, it's a question of style and focuses for their power.<br><br>Adamant can manipulate metal around him, it's very brutish, strength-focused. Lots of slamming and such. He can form metal into a crude armor around himself and gather metal into rough weapons, like greatswords, mauls, axes, etc. Finally, use of metal weapons against him or wearing metal armor while going up against him in close quarters means your attacks may get shoved aside before they land and you might have your footing disturbed. Very 'brute' in approach - his ability to boost attacks & defense while armored/wielding metal make him a heavy hitter that's good at staying in the fight, especially since he can repair damaged armor using his ability to slowly shape and refine metal.<br><br>Cuff is more of an agility/aim sort of metallokinetic. - [https://www.reddit.com/r/Parahumans/comments/59d5rc/metalbenders_confusion/d97ngyw/ Comment on Reddit]</ref> it lacks fine control,<ref name="playtest">Power:  Metallokinesis, strongman’ - Can manipulate metal in broad ways, pushing, pulling, crushing, but not doing fine manipulation.  Can slam people bodily with large metal objects, at moderate strength.  Can apply Brawl bonuses to these slams.<br><br>Power:  Metallokinetic Boost - Metal armor confers a bonus to actions and movement where it would normally penalize.<br><br>Power:  Plate Mail - Can craft plate mail and crude weapons with his power.  Doing so takes 1 round for a weapon, if material is at hand, and 3 rounds for a full piece of armor.  Can adjust benefits of gear (ie. benefits offered by his armor) with one round’s time.<br><br>Power:  Metallokinetic Resistance - Attacks using metal weapons/projectiles suffer a penalty to hit him, as he pushes them away.  Gains a bonus to hit and confers a penalty versus enemies who are wearing metal gear, up to +2/-2 if they are fully garbed.  At end of turn’s actions, can opt to stagger an armored/armed foe if they have metal gear, pushing them (with benefits of Grapple); foes can elect to be disarmed rather than pushed. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hxYrt2d6b_LAaMPphcZEzwAruiSHQaiaBa3x2WMsGvA/edit# Playtest Capes]</ref> has short range, and is slow.<ref name=R1/>

If Adamant reshapes his armor so that it fully covers him, his peripheral vision suffers accordingly.<ref name="21.1" />

His armor is still heavy for others: Adamant specifically needs a retooled [[PRT]] motorcycle that can handle his weight.<ref name="22.3 e1">“Tell the others,” Miss Militia said, “Adamant’s getting a cycle retooled to handle more weight before he leaves again.  He’ll go with Triumph.  Log it all in the system.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/category/stories-arcs-21/arc-22-cell/22-03-arc-22-cell/ Excerpt] from [[Cell 22.3]]</ref><ref>'''Sulfurado:''' Generally speaking, how do the less mobile Protectorate and Wards members move around? custom rides, PRT chauffeurs, just legging it?<br><br>'''Wildbow:''' They have PRT motorcycles, but we don't really see them in story.<br><br>'''ChickenGun:''' Huh. I remember a reference to Miss Militia having a motorcycle, is that one of those?<br><br>'''Wildbow:''' Armsmaster uses one in his first appearance too. Yeah, Chicken.<br>I imagine they'd come in different weights. A heavier one for brutes and the tinkers in power armor, at least. - Conversation with Wildbow on Discord, archived on Spacebattles</ref><!-- https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/53539480 -->

“Given how that’s gone,” Dovetail said, “She’d be digging her own grave.  We all thought the details would leak, but Cauldron’s cleanup is efficient.  Anyone who tries to leak details gets… censored.”

“Killed,” Adamant clarified.  “Or disappeared.”

“It would be unfortunate if she were killed in our custody,” Tagg said.  “She’d be safer in the Birdcage.”

With Kid Win on the ground, thrashing, that was two down.

The other two, I was pretty sure I could deal with them if it came down to it.  I wasn’t sure what Clockblocker’s glove did, but I had a suspicion.  Adamant’s armor was just begging to have silk cords wind through the chain links and armor plates.
