changes for melee powers in tank/brute

One of the things i love most about my Fire tank is the fiery sword. I can see nothing wrong concept-wise with a creature of fire being able to fashion a sword from flames (same goes for ice sword and stone mallet). The stone mallet doesnt appear from thin air - the character drags it from the earth!

Sorudo you mentioned that MA/Claws doesnt fit thematically with a Magician - but how many magicians would get involvied in fisticuffs - surely any decent magician would fashion a weapon from thin air...

As others have said - not all powers in the set involve weapons - you can always avoid the powers you dont like and take something else instead!

This is the point! A magician who cannot invoke elemental weaponry and prefers to use fists instead? Fire Sword is just perfect for a magician...
Concerning the mutant... yes maybe to use elemental weapons could be difficult for mutant toons (but look at Pyro for instance he can manipulate fire...Why do not create fire blades to hit foes?)... In any case if weapons do not fit with your toon just avoid them! But do not ask devs to change the powersets just to allow them to fit with your toon... If you have a mutant who can porduce stone blocks to emerge form earth you will get a earth troller and Stone Cages/ Fossilize / Stone prison... But if he is not able to cast gas form earth you should skip volcanic gases... You will miss a very good power, but that is your toon concept, and you should to go ahead with him... If there was only one way to build toons everyone would be the same... Maybe this is too radical as you would miss one of the must powers of a build, but if you are really sticked to your concept you would...
