"Shallow" Purchases

[Hermit]

So you have an extra 3 points to spare, and even though it isn't in concept, it's not against it either, and you pump it into COM because hey, if you can't be good looking in real life, might as well be a hottie in game.

Or you buy well off and figure your character got a windfall, besides, extra cash is nice, even if it doesn't affect your game play much.

Your mystic has everything he wants, so you put "Summon Sexy Demoness looking mystic being, Totally loyal" in a slot. "Bring those grapes over here, would you dear?" The female members of your team make oink sounds, but you don't care.

You work out how much a 'holo deck' would cost, and have it installed in your character's base just because HDTV is SO last year.

and so on...

What are some of the 'shallow' purchases you've made for your characters in the past? And why?

[Zed-F]

Is this with XP, or during construction?

[Hermit]

Either. :)
"Shallow" is very much in the eye of the beholder, so I leave it up to you guys to decide when you made a shallow purchase.

[Zed-F]

I routinely give characters a point of wealth so they can afford to replace lost cellphones, pay for car repairs, or what have you, without breaking a sweat. Does that count?

I guess I'm not sure where to draw the line between 'flavour' and 'shallow.' :p Probably because I rarely design a character who is shallow.

[Lord Mhoram]

I do somethings like that. I'll drop spare point in extra COM, or buying some wealth.
I tend to get extra little perks or talents too....

Media Darling as a perk, just so the character has an excuse to have good press.
Drop points into Time Sense, Range or Bump of direction for no real reason.

In fantasy settings, I usually play mages, and have a nifty little spell just for that...
Weathercloak - 1/1 FF + LS Heat and Cold only vs weather effects -2.
No matter the weather the character is of comfortable temp and doesn't get hit by rain dust blown by wind.

[OddHat]

I almost always sink some points into COM.

I often buy a base, even though in pure munchkin terms you're better off without one. You could make a case for a base having some practical value, but I see it as a pure vanity purchase; The GM will always allow you a place for your character to sleep for free, and most GMs will let you get access to labs and such wothout requiring you to put out points. Still, it's cool to have your own trophy room, super-equipment storage chamber, etc, etc.

I like a lot of KS, some of which may never see use in the game, just to fill out my idea of what a character should know.

Some versions of Flesh Gordon get his Fabulous Strato-Ship and Amazing Wave Motion Gun, and other silly gadgets, even though the min-maxer in me knows that he should just sink those points into direct combat powers.

Thinking about this, almost any non-Combat Monster build is a vanity purchase. ;)

[Powerhouse]

Definitely COM for the female characters. Two have 24 com and the other 16 (though I might boost that too).

Most male character can "bet by" with a 14 com. ;)

And wealth is always nice if just to justify who paid for the base and team vehicle.

Your mystic has everything he wants, so you put "Summon Sexy Demoness looking mystic being, Totally loyal" in a slot. "Bring those grapes over here, would you dear?" The female members of your team make oink sounds, but you don't care.

That's HYSTERICAL and is SO going into the MP of one of my mystic bad guys (Lord Malfice). Although it would be more fun (and seen more often as a running gag) to let a sorta good guy have it.

[Duke Bushido]

Well,

I never actually did anything like that-- spent points out of concept, or whatever you wish to call it....

But I _did_ do something 'vain', kind of on a lark, back in the early 80s.

We were still using those character sheets with the outlines on which you could draw a picture of your character.

We were playing a non-super campaign, so all characters were 'normals,' at least after a fashion.

I got bored looking at my character in the same get-up, so I mimied about ten blanks of the same pose and made a series of cut-out suits for him (he was a proffessor by trade), and took to paper clipping a different one on to the sheet every game day.

Mostly, it was done as a joke, and it was well-recieved.

But decidely vain!

:D

[Badger]

Hmm, I usually dont like high COMs for my male characters. It does get too cliche to have good-looking superheroes.

Course next time I play a female character in anything (i usually dont as I dont understand women in real life, and dont feel i could do it properly) I might give high COM.......so I can imagine some eye candy.:D


Note: remember to add the "summon sexy demonness" to all future characters. Thanks Hermit:eg:

[Whitewings]

One of my characters has PS: Cheerleader, and another has PS: Singer, PS: Drummer and PS: Flautist. I'm thinking of buying "Expert: Music" for her.

That sounds like it could almost be a PC--the character is a normal who has the adoration and obedience of a gorgeous female spirit (demon?) who's a cross between I Dream Of Jeannie and Johnny Thunder's Thunderbolt. Of course you'd have to figure a way around the whole "Follower-cannot-have-more-points-than-the-character" thing, but that shouldn't be too huge a problem--should it? :eg:

[Badger]

Aww, man. Now I have to figure out a way to have Jeannie as a follower. Come on, think Badger. Think.:straight:

[TheTemplar]

For pure vanity, COM and INT. For some reason, I just can't handle the thought of playing the big, dumb ugly guy. For cheesy concept-stretching ridiculousness -

Inertial Barrier: FF 10 PD/ 0 ED Red. END (0; +1/2), Only Versus Move-By/Move-Through Damage Inflicted On Self (-1/2)

The special effect was that my speedster ran so fast when he was charging at someone that he actually built up a "shield" of displaced air pressure in front of him. Cheeseball, yes. But, it DID keep him from KO'ing himself on more than one occasion.:rolleyes:

The usual way around that is to treat the human as a "Follower" for the genie, mechanically. Kind of like how multiforms go on the biggest individual form, even if its not your "true" form.

[Zed-F]

I like a lot of KS, some of which may never see use in the game, just to fill out my idea of what a character should know.
I tend to do this sort of thing as well, but I'd call that flavour rather than shallow. :)

I guess my dividing line is buying stuff that doesn't really help the character much but is important to the concept is flavour. Having a massive com when your character is a professional model and has pheromone powers is not necessarily shallow -- it's in concept, and just because she's a model doesn't mean she's a bimbo. Having a ton of money when your character is a gadgeteer or powersuit guy who builds his own stuff is flavour, not vanity. I'm all for flavour in characters.

On the other hand, taking COM or wealth for no reason at all could be considered shallow. I usually don't take more than a point or two of COM (if that) unless I have reason to believe my character ought to be better-looking than average. I'll take a point of wealth so I don't have to worry about minor cash needs or about holding down a job, but I don't usually have a character who has lots of green stuff but doesn't use it for superheroing. So by that definition, I generally avoid shallow purchases.

[Tiree]

Languages old dead, and hardly used like esperanto and useless 8- skills like Basket Weaving.

OT, but the way I've done it in the past is to just give the character a large Multipower with the special effect of 'the powers actually come from his genie/demon/magic teddy bear/whatever'. Often with the limitation Incantations on the MP, as you've got to tell them what to do. I guess I could also do an OIF for the lamp, if one such is needed.

Does that sound game-legal to any of you?

I'd allow it. :)

[Zed-F]

Does that sound game-legal to any of you?
Absolutely. Reasoning from effect works just fine.

[Log-Man]

My COM scores are usually set from an early point. I'm pretty visual when concieving the character, and throwing a couple extra points in there can throw everything off. Likewise INT. I find that when I have a few extra points they usually end up as Knowledge Skills, Enhanced Senses, or minor movement enhancers.

Then, once that is decided, I look at the entire thing as a whole, editing and revamping, basing the entire character omn that minor purchase, pumping it up, losing points elewhere, having a few points left over...and the whole thing begins again. :rolleyes:

[Cancer]

Most of my "shallow" purchases have come at character creation, and unintentionally so: things that I thought were going to be useful and/or keys to the character's success. After that it's all desperation purchases of stuff trying to dig the character out of door-stop-hood.

[AmadanNaBriona]

I've used a lot of weird shallow purchaces (and a few not so shallow ones, like my FH character with 20+ points in PS's, just to be considered "An Ildanach" i.e tha many talented).
Things like a KS: Quotes to justify a characters habit of using appropraite movie and music quotes as catchphrases (something my main champs character does a lot).

But my biggest semi-shallow purchaces if I have points left over are almost always either Cramming or 1 die of Luck. Both come in handy for driving along the story when things bog down.

[Dr. Anomaly]

Shallow? That really depends on your definition, I guess. I suppose any of these could qualify:

18 COM (Yes, it's only 4 points. I just really like the idea of being handsome.)

Dr. Anomaly is a super-genius scientist/sorceror, so the 24 Sciences and 17 Knowledges probably wouldn't count. The 57 languages, though, might. ;)

Wealth - 13 points. But then again, he is supposed to be the one bankrolling the team...

Eidetic Memory and Lightning Calculator could be part of the "super genius" bit, but Absolute Time Sense and Speed Reading x1,000 aren't, really. ;)


This one, though, was done just for the "gee, neat!!" effect:

Nothing Up My Sleeve: Extra Arms (2), Inherent (+1/4), Fully Invisible (+1); Always On (-1/2)

[Badger]

Your speed reading would be a great way to explain why you have knowledge in some many Sciences and stuff.

Umm, Absolute time sense? Cant help explain that one.;)

57 languages??

Da-yum, just buy a protocol droid, will ya.:D

[Lumbering Ox]

Getting a summon Amorophous Horror spell for your Demonologist so you have someone to walk your poodle.

Caimpaign never did get off the ground though.

[ghost-angel]

I can't think of any ... I form personalities when I make characters and people have the oddest little quirks... lessee.

I got the Talent: Perfect Rhythm for Silence, variant on Perfect Pitch, because I figured for some reason she could just DANCE. I seriously doubt that will ever come up in gameplay. ever.

Other than that, nah no shallow stuff here.

[AmadanNaBriona]

Howabout a summon poodle spell to feed your Amorphous Horror?

[BNakagawa]

I spent 9 points on an ability whose principle function is to allow my character to type while wearing mickey mouse gloves.

Also, the ability to converse with cats.

Braile. Haven't actually found a use for it yet, as there aren't any blind people in the campaign. It would be even more useless in a FH campaign if you didn't buy literacy with it...

[Trebuchet]

Let's see... Zl'f bought Riding (Horses) and Animal Handler (Equines) to reflect her hobby of horseback riding, despite the fact she can run 200 MPH/320 KPH.

She took "Ice Skating" as her free Transport Familiarity; then bought TF: Automobile with XP. She bought Combat Driving (Skis) but not with cars.

In our Champions campaign, each PC gets a free 8- KS and PS and a free 11- KS and PS. Her free 11- KS is chess rather than something actually useful.

She bought both PS: Executive Assistant 12- and Bureaucratics 12- with XP so she'd actually be good at her "day job" as executive assistant for a billiionaire industrialist/philanthropist who is also a member of MidGuard (as if Tony Stark's secretary Mrs. Arbogast was also a super-powered member of the Avengers). She also bought High Society 12-because that day job often requires her to interact with the movers and shakers.

[Bloodstone]

In concept, but thus far a total waste of points: we have speedster that only ever fights with his fists (and the occasional object of opportunity thrown at hyper sonic speeds). In an event, he never uses guns. Not much point, since bullets are just so damn slow ;)

Regardless of that, he bought Fast draw (Small Arms) so that if he ever needs to be the fastest draw in the west, he will be.

[Dr. Anomaly]

57 languages??

Da-yum, just buy a protocol droid, will ya.:D
Sure, it would have been cheaper -- a lot cheaper -- to just buy Universal Translator. And with Dr. Anomaly's INT of 40, it's not like the UT roll wouldn't have been up in the practically-never-fail range, either. ;)

The problem with UT, though, is that you don't actually know the languages...you just sorta are able to figure them out "on the fly", and can then figure out how to make yourself understood in return. I didn't want that. I just liked the idea of a really, really, smart guy who collected languages as his hobby. That means he needs to be able to actually know them, not just be able to figure them out / make himself understood the way UT would.

So...I spent a bunch of points...far more than I'd need to get the same end result using UT...in order to have the character "collect" a bunch of languages that, to date, I think I've had call to use 3 or 4 of (and that includes 'dead' languages, the literacy to read Egyptian heiroglyphics, and so on).

Not exactly an "efficient" use of points, but it makes the character and myself happy, so what the heck, right? :)

Wouldn't UT with Eidetic Memory be sufficient? What ever language you were able to figure out, the memory would kick in to make sure you remember it.

[Dawgstar]

I enjoy the odd Perks that I promptly forget and then remember when it becomes useful (well, every now and then - how ironic is I forget that my character has Eidetic Memory?). Lightning Calculator is a favorite. Wealth's another good one, as is the odd point or two of COM.

[Trebuchet]

Not exactly an "efficient" use of points, but it makes the character and myself happy, so what the heck, right? :)That is, of course, both the topic of this thread and the ultimate purpose of this game. :)

Efficiency, eschmiciency! As long as we're all having fun and actually building characters as opposed to columns of numbers and power descriptions, we're on the right track. It's those little inefficient dabs of "color" that often make a character feel more real to player and GM alike.

[ghost-angel]

I suppose if we're going into "not always useful in the game, really not useful in combat" way ... I always get lots of KS that have nothing to do with anything but that the character should know.

Liks KS: Blues Hangouts. Because sometimes you just need a good seedy bar with a guy on guitar slamming out the blues all night into a crappy PA.

Does that sound game-legal to any of you?


That's what occurred to me, but with an Activation Roll on the powers to reflect that the character has to "persuade" the magical entity to help out. The lower the Activation, the more obstinate the entity--

MEL: "Magica, I need you to transform Lord Monstrous' flaming sword into something harmless!"

MAGICA: "Mmmm--I don't know if I want to."

MEL: "What! But--but why?"

MAGICA: "I changed my appearance and you didn't--even--notice!"

MEL: "What? You look the same as before! What did you change? Your hair? Your makeup? What? WHAT??"

MAGICA: (Sits and pouts)

Much better the other way around.

Summon AH, give out the sacrifice and then

AH: I will do your bidding, who do you wish to me destroy.
DS: Oh nobody, I want you to walk my poodle cuddles.
C: yap yap yap
AH: What! you dragged me all the way from hell and you want me to walk your dog?
DS: Yes.
AH: Sigh, wouldn't you rather I kill somebody, maybe take out a village, torment a princess?
DS: Nope, just walk cuddles, better hurry, he needs to go. And no eating him either.
AH: Sigh, [picks up leach with psudopod and lurches towards the door with cuddles jumping around him yapping happily.


Feeding poodles to AH's just dosen't compare.

[Chuckg]

Starguard, who is one of the most powerful magic-based VPP wielders on her home planet and embodies the power of an archangel (trapped in the body of an 18-year-old girl), has PS: Cooking, 15-, PS: Singing, 16-, and PS: Waitress, 11-. And she's rapidly picking up PS: Maid, as well... in addition to being the New Sentinels' mystic powerhouse, she's also the housekeeper. (She /likes/ domestic work -- it's something where she actually knows what the heck she's doing, and it doesn't involve making life-or-death judgement calls on incomplete knowledge. Unlike her day job.)

Oh, the singing? She's got a spectacularly beautiful singing voice, always has, even if it's largely untrained. Nothing supernatural about it. :)

Dr. Pain is a ex-pro-wrestling-champion turned brick. His conception is that he's big, strong, tough, and good at putting bad guys into joint locks and figure 4's.

I also gave him Weapon Familiarity (Small Arms, Blades, Clubs, Fist-Loads, General Purpose/Heavy Machine Guns, Grenade Launchers, Shoulder-Fired Weapons), Transport Familiarity (Basic Parachuting), and Weaponsmith (Firearms) 12-, and PS: Soldier 13- to reflect the fact that right after he got thrown out of college and right before he went into wrestling, he did a 4-year hitch in the 82nd Airborne. (He also got Tactics and Navigation (Land) out of this, but that's not a 'fluff' purchase.)

Likewise, despite my buying him a contact for an extremely skilled agent/financial manager, I also gave him PS: Business Management at 13- and KS: Business Law and KS: Finance at 12-, representing the fact that he's got a net worth in the millions and has learned how to manage it competently.

And then I gave him KS: Classical Literature and KS: Philosophy to represent the fact that while he looks like a big dumb bruiser, he actually does read books with big words from time to time. :)

AAMOF, looking back, quite a /lot/ of his character sheet is "soft" purchases -- my reaction on the DM telling us that he was upgrading our 350-point campaign (which was his original design) to a 425-point one was largely to pile on fluff and little odds and ends for concept, and not to upgrade his power level very much beyond the original 350. Although he did get an extra point of SPD and some CSLs out of it.

Baron von Darien -- wrath of ye gods, his skill list stretches from here to there, and it's at least half full of things that will almost never actually come up in play. He's highly intelligent, greatly motivated, and has been alive for 1100 years -- he /should/ be well-read, for a value of 'well-read' that adds up to 'multiple libraries full'.

... come to think of it, /all/ of my characters blow a lot of the point budget on fluffy stuff, as opposed to things of immediate use.

[OddHat]

Oh, yeah, I forgot...Dr. Anomaly also has TF: SCUBA, because he likes to go scuba diving on his vacations to the Bahamas. :)

New use for the skill VPP:

Back Story Skill Pool: Variable Power Pool, 5 base + 3 control cost, Cosmic (+2) (11 Active Points); Limited Class Of Powers Available Very Limited (Only Skills that will almost never be used in the campaign; -1). (8 real points)

[assault]

Assault's biggest waste of points is his 25 points of Life Support and his 15 points of Enhanced Perception. These are the main reasons why he has to be built on inflated points to be a decent combatant. If he could put those points into combat stuff, he could be easily built on 350 points.

The 16 COM is pure vanity, too. :)

[Trebuchet]

Oh, yeah, I forgot...Dr. Anomaly also has TF: SCUBA, because he likes to go scuba diving on his vacations to the Bahamas. :)On a similar note Mentor's character Cyberknight, who in his Secret ID as billionaire industrialist and philanthropist Dr. Eric Thorssen is married to supermodel Cathy Ireland, bought TF: SCUBA because IRL Cathy Ireland is an expert-rated SCUBA-diver. Obviously Dr. Thorssen would want to share his significant other's favorite hobby.

And who wouldn't want to go swimming with Cathy Ireland? :love:

:confused: Well, they weren't designed as rivals. We actually all lived in the same studio and they worked for my character at his detective agency. They even went on adventures sometimes, which means I had to rescue them, sometimes.

Three Familiarities, or a Fam. and a KS/PS/SS. It can be useful to know something that's not strictly "in concept."

Or, if I've already got a couple of KS's, PS's, or SS's, I might go for Scholar/JOAT/Scientist respectively, and use the points saved on the cost of the KS/PS/SS's I already have, to buy new KS/PS/SS's.

My current character is a robot from another planet who learned about humans and earth from TV... yes, broadcast TV from the 50's to now. It reached earth with many misconceptions. Then it discovered CABLE TV!!! Spongebob Square Pants is now its favorite character. Another player character wants to start a school for young supers, to help fund it the robot wrote a book on Spongebob (bought as a reputation: cost 1 point). Then I will purchase wealth to actually fund the school (money from the book's sales).
