For example this power with the Hoop: Transmuting Touch,  Encounter, Attack : Melee 1 (one creature); +6 vs. Reflex, Hit: The target can't make weapon attacks (save ends). First Failed Saving Throw: The target can't use Omega Tech powers.  Second Failed Saving Throw: The target discards a readied Omega Tech Card Unless someone were familiar with older versions of Gamma World, they may not be aware that the item is transmuted into a rubber like substance. For the Yexil's Laser Eyes, why does the target take a -2 to all defenses (save ends) when hit?  I feel that more fluff text should have been provided.  Any thoughts?  How have you handled this?

Perhaps the target takes the penalty to defenses from the Yexil's eyebeams because it's half-blinded by the brightness of the laser.  Perhaps the pain is distracting.
