Traceless Walk, Alright, so I'm not Jesus, but... Options

[Baatorian]

Alright, the adept power, traceless walk, now what exactly is the score with this power?

You can walk on snow without sinking into it? Right, okay, so they can also walk on 2 inches of crispy brown autumn leaves without crushing them down or making a noise?

What is this? Some kind of funky levitate? Don't get me wrong, I have no problems at all with the power. Also, before anyone mentions it, the +4 to perception TN is because the adepts equipment makes noise (naked adepts are good to go!).

So, okay, you can't walk across liquids, but deep snow is okay, we'll assume that is because it's kinda solid, so.. thick marsh and mud is okay too, right? This means you can't actually TOUCH the ground, because otherwise it's a weight thing.. mass and force and something else I was probably supposed to learn at some point.

Anyway, this brings me to another point. Where does this power actually stop?

If you can walk across snow without sinking into it, therefore not actually touching it, then what other kinds of things can you walk on?

1) Caltrops - Why not, you don't touch things you walk on right?
2) Burning coals - Yeah, there'd still be heat, but you wouldn't touch the coals.
3) Broken glass - I always wanted to run on broken glass bare-foot.
4) Mono-wire - Assuming I can balance good, why can't I stand on this?
5) Dog turds - Hey, no more cleaning my new sneakers!

So, okay, what do you think the score is? What if you had a set of snowy poles, just mounds of snow, could the adept walk up them? Ooh.. and I wanna go see that crazy dwarven tight-rope walker do his mono-wire thing.

I mean, in theory, if you don't TOUCH the surface (with feet only), then you can walk across mono-wire, right?

What do you all think?
