Really digging this stuff.  Will probably use it myself and / or browbeat the other guy who plans to run into it.   Some clarification requests regarding these rules:  * When 2nd Wind is used to negate a wound, does it still provide its normal benefits (healing/etc) as well? * Do Salvaged Omegas go back to the GM deck, leaving behind their salvage stats on your sheet? * So with the Omega Reward being Discovery or Recharge?, is that just the "normal" random roll (1-9 Discovery, 10-20 Recharge), GM decision, or some other determination method? * Are the Theme Utility powers in an upcoming amendment or another file?

I think DoctorComics will be OK with these answers (he can browbeat me into pudding for the assumption if I'm wrong or if he doesn't like people jumping in...heh)

1: Yes, full Second Wind should take effect. It gains the ability to remove a wound in addition to normal rules.

2: I would say, based on some of the stuff I've read, that the card would go into the player's custom Omega Tech deck. If I'm wrong, then it'd go into the GM deck discard pile. But I thought the intention was to let the player build his Omega Tech deck from what he finds.

3: Dunno about this one.

4: I think Dr.C. is still working on the Utility powers (as he mentions in his blog post) but the basics are there. More than likely, I think he's going to port similar effects from Skill Powers in other material (I forget where I saw them).

2. Yes that's more or less my understanding.  Just trying to clarify exception noted in "When an Omega Tech item loses its charge and you choose not to salvage it".  As I follow it we have four basic situations (ignoring equipment trades):
~ Discovery reward moves random card from GM Deck to Readied Pool.
~ Recharge reward moves random card from Player Deck to Readied Pool.
~ Discharged item that is not Salvaged goes from Readied Pool to Player Deck.
~ Discharged item that is Salvaged ?

4. I totally missed the earlier blog post.  Random blindness.   Skill Powers were PHB3 I believe. 

Ah, for #2 I think you can do one of two things: Write down the new item information on your character sheet (or other recording medium) and return the card to the player's deck OR return it to the GM's deck. I think it's up to the GM. I would say the player's deck simply because the player may be looking for items he knows about and that particular card may be one of them (the reason behind the player-based O.T. deck IMO-They know how that particular O.T. works and what it looks like so they're more likely to pick it up if they find another).
