Help on a gadget:

[JmOz]

I am currently working on a wristwatch type gadget:

What powers can you think of for it? It currently has a number of talents and enhanced senses

[Hugh Neilson]

Absolute Time Sense?

Maybe a limited Mind Link to simulate a videophone?

You may get more useful suggestions if you tell us what it already has...

Just OIF? Don't you need Gestures (to type in data), Concentrate (to focus on the screen), extra time (because you'll have to wait for the web search), maybe Activation (you don't always find what you want on the first try), or Requires a Skill Roll, and perhaps Incantations (how many people can get the computer to really work WITHOUT yelling at it?) ;)

Should be able to get more than one level for 3 points with all those limits! :rolleyes:

[eepjr24]

Super Magnet:
Clinging, only to metal surfaces (-1?), OIF (-1/2), 1 charge lasting 1 minute (-1), Extra Segment to Activate (-1/4), Gestures to start (-1/4), STR Cannot be used to move, only to stay in place (-1)
AP: 10
RP: 2

Well, it's not great, but it might save you some day. =)

[BlackCobra]

Bah! Bah, I say!

Are you people telling me that no one made the James Bond Magnetic Watch!

Magnetic Watch: Telekinesis (10 STR), Fine Manipulation (25 Active Points); Only works on metal (-1), 8 Charges (-1/2), Affects Whole Object (-1/4), Reduced By Range (-1/4) , OIF (-1/2)

Disarm schmoes, push the button, or grab the keys while you're in the cell. But don't leave home without the Magnetic Watch!

[Zed-F]

I'm pretty sure metallic objects only counts as a -1/2 lim according to FREd. :)

How many points for it to be a hot sauce dispenser? (am I the ONLY one to have seen Undercover Brother?)

[JmOz]

Nope, Love the movie...but the guy is canadian so I don't see hot food being a good thing for him (Note my experiences with canadians are the ones who are in the more central part of the country, and can not speak for all regions)

:D LMAO! Too funny! Thanks for bringing that up, J4y!
So is that a 3d6NND Flash and 2pt Immunity vs bland food?

Hey, how about Bob's KeyTool 'Glitch' from ReBoot? That could be just about anything...

Glitch would be either a multipower or, more likely, a VPP. As you said, Glitch could do damn near anything.
