Gadgets Wanted

[wraith]

I am playing a gadgeteer in a 250 point champions game, I have a 60 point gadget pool. I have come up with a fair number of gadgets but I am always looking for more. I would love to see some ideas.

Thanks

[Starcorp Man]

Um what kinds of things are you looking for, weapons, defenses, movement? That's a big order.

[Acroyear]

Wraith... SF Bay area? Where-abouts?

[wraith]

I am in Concord, out in the East Bay.

[MarkusDark]

But, like mentioned before, what general class of gadgets are you looking for?

Does your character already have a good set of basic defences?
Does he have a good way of getting around?
Does he have any offensive cababilities outside of the Gadget Pool?
What is the 'background' of the character? Is he just a general gadgeteer or does he have a 'theme'? I ran a gadgeteer in a game that was actually a 'baseball player' who used a variety of baseballs and bats with different effects.

[wraith]

With only 250 points I built the character with pretty much skills stats and a gadget pool. I have a gadgeteering skill of 18 so I can manipulate a lot of active points. At the moment I Have no fixed defences, attacks or sences. Everything comes out of the pool. With focus limitaions, charges ect I can have some crummy defences an attack power ect. I like that I can have super disguises, invisibity fields, But the character is a bit of glass jawed hero.

Uh, hello. Another one from the Bay Area...South Bay!

Here's one for you:

15 Multipower (30), OAF - shield
1 u 10/10 Armor, Act 14- (30 Act)
1 u +6 DCV, Act 14 - (30 Act)
1 u Missile Deflection, all ranged, adjacent (+1/2) (30 Act)
1 u +6d6 Hand Attack (30 Act)

I've built it as a MP, but you can take out the individual elements and use them in your Gadget pool.

There is always the nice old standby from movement..

The Rocket Pack

Flight 26 inchs, OIF (Jet Pack), 1 continueing fuel charge lasting one hour - No non-combat movement Active cost 54 Real cost 30.

[Starcorp Man]

Deflector Field:Missile Deflection, Uncontrolled, Continious, +5 to Roll, Oif (Belt Generator), +1 Phase Start Up: Active Cost 60 Pts, Real cost: 30 Pts.

[SkyKnight]

Armored Jumpsuit (Armor +8 PD / +8 ED, OIF, Activation 14-) 24 active, 12 real

Shield Belt (Force Field 8 PD / 8 ED, Fuel Charge 20 minutes, OIF) 16 active, 9 real

Neural Disrupter (Hand to Hand Attack, 2D6 (4D6 with 10 STR), No Normal Defense, stopped by mental defense, 0 END, OAF, Hand to Hand) 25 active, 10 real

P.O.G.O (+15" leaping, 3 charges, OAF) 15 active, 5 real

Deflection Screen (+4 DCV, 1 hex area effect, OIF) (30 active, 20 real)

I can't say there is any real "must have" among gadgets. Just make sure you have at least one credible attack, enough defense to not go into minutes between recoveries every time you're hit and some way to get to the fight.

Question, for all the "Kits," why not by Overall Levels, usable only with Skills Known instead of multiple kits, costs less.
