Newbie Multiform question

[tenscales]

To my understanding, in a standard 350-point character game, if I purchased (for the first time) a Multiform that is 500 points (100 pts in actual cost), I would need to have 300 in disadvantages.

Question: If I first purchased a 350-point Multiform with 150 pts in disadvantages, do I need to continue to increase the disadvantage total if my Multiform grows past 350? (i.e. grows to 400, therefore you need to take 200 pts of disadvantages, etc.)

I'm, pretty sure that's a "GM Option" call. I'd probably make you take the extra disadvantages, if I allowed you to exceed the point limit at all.

Eally, anything that allows the character to exceed campaign norms should be considered a "stop sign".

For me, it depends on when you do the growing. If you are creating a new character, for sure I would want you to take the required number of disads to pay for your extra points, and there would be limits to how many extra points I would allow. If you are growing the multiform with XP, I wouldn't require you to take additional disads any more than I would make you take new disads for spending XP on your base form. However, I would also limit the number of XP you can spend to boost your new form pretty strictly -- no more than 1 in 6, for instance, so both forms grow in power at an equal rate.

While I, and most everyone, would make you take the extra DisAds or just deny the character, I bon't believe you techincally need to do so.

Multiform is bought on the same Base Points as the BaseForm: if a 200+150 games, then the Multiform is a 200+150 character, anything above that 350 total is up to the GM on how those extra points are accounted for.

Once in game, they're XP like everything else.

But on creation the GM should probably make you take DisAds for the points above the 350 total, but doesn't have to if they don't want to.

I personally don't like to take Multiform at a higher point total than the Base Form, most of mine are less, but don't disallow it either.
