Shrink 0 Point Advantage - Stealth

So how about a Shrink 0 Point Advantage like the Giant Growth on Enrage for stealth powers? Night Warrior would come with a Shrink 0 Point Advantage you can take or not. Once taken you can shrink using, Night Warrior Sneak power, Smoke Bomb, Sigils of Sanctuary, Palliate Advantage or other mechanisms to stealth.

I mean it makes sense when you shrink it becomes harder to find you and is equivalent to being stealthed.

    Devs don't like 0 Point Advantages.

    Yeah, they've said this before.

    Basically, as I understand it, it's due to a limitation of the game-engine - unlike other advantages, zero-point ones require two slightly-different duplicate versions of the same code; one that controls the ability without the zero-point, and one that controls the ability with it.

    Which means that abilities with zero-point advantages require twice the debugging/balancing time and effort as the ones that lack zero-point advantages. And that's not fun.

    Then how about just adding a new Stealth/Dodge power with a Shrinking effect? This one could be a Defensive passive instead of an Offensive passive - more defenses, and no assasination, just focus it on stealth and dodge, and replace the assasinating attack with a placate-hide tool.

    If they made one power with a drop down option to select what version you want, it would be one power to code.

    How about default minimum size set down to like one foot and we call it a day?
