By your reasoning, why not allow the Origins then? And they ARE unbalancing because you have to pay for the advantage.

If they disallowed Ninja Run, they would also have to disallow: Sprint, Rest, Brawl, etc.

So, for the purposes of the trials, inherent powers are okay, temp powers are not. Which makes sense. I can't imagine Ninja Run would give the same kind of combat advantage as a Warburg nuke or Vanguard heavy.
They allow Alignment powers which are Temps

Stop acting like a 2 yr old TCS. Every time you post on the boards you act like this. I have yet to see you post anything that isn't a whine. You were given several answers on how to deal with this issue in your original thread.

I should not have to do a work around. The whiners about Ninja Run were given their power granted back to them.

You're missing the big point, man.

THERE IS NO ADVANTAGE to having Ninja Run, or not having it, in these trials. The maps are too small to make a difference how fast you get somewhere.

Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

I challenge you to confine yourself to sprint.... on all your toons.

Done. Doesn't take too long to get from point A to point B in the Incarnate Trials.

Agreed.

I mostly use hurdle+combat jumping when outside and mostly use super speed inside.
I have ninja run and beast run. But they're not particularly useful in the trials imho. Granted if we didn't get to use the sky raider flight pack, I might use the runs to get to the guns in the lambda. Maybe not, idk. hurdle + cj works for a lot.

Heck, I constantly hover in the trials and keep up just fine.

I never run travel powers in Trials. They're so laggy, by the time my screen catches up, I've turned too far or gone to far forward.

And I can say, with sprint, you do just fine.

This.

I don't like or use Ninja Run, anyway.

Folks, this thread hasn't gone anywhere constructive. I'm going to close it down as the discussion is rehashing itself.
