    Seeking suggestions for a power build

    Hi All

    I am looking for suggestions on building a power but first I should describe the character. I have recently started in a new Champions campaign the basis of which is that VIPER has experimented on us all with the result that we have gained superpowers. The first session involved escaping from VIPER and setting up our own superhero group.

    The character I designed consists of a brother and sister, not twins; he is a couple of years older. Due to the experiments he has gained density and powers associated with increasing density. She has lost density and gained powers connected with that. The loss of density was also lethal to the sister so they merged the two forms. They have taken the superhero names Stockade and Nebula.

    In game terms this is a Multiform with the Multiform Amnesia disadvantage so that neither knows what is happening when they are not present. This brings us to the power that the GM mentioned could be developed. As Nebula is the alternative form she is not present during planning discussions, briefings, etc. The GM suggested a power based on Images could be used to manifest Nebula so that she could communicate during such times.

    If anyone has any suggestions on how such a power could be built, or if anyone has already addressed this then I would be interested in hearing what you have to say. My initial thought is Images with a linked Mind Link but I do not know if that would be considered suitable. Whatever you come up with I can then discuss it with the GM.

    This character is essentially the reverse of the old Firestorm debate. I love the idea but I have never gotten the character to click right on paper. The latest iteration came out something like this:

    n pt Multipower (Body Swap/Merger)
    n Ultra Slot Duplication (Nebula as disembodied Computer or Transdimensional Desolid character +100% Different)
    n Ultra Slot Duplication (Nebula as Multiform allowing you to use her powers instead of Stockades)

    But the idea is like I said clunky and very expensive given the 100% difference for the advisor role of the subordinate character. Still you get two characters to tango with.

    The intellectual incoherence is stunning. Basically, the political philosophy of the GOP right now seems to consist of snickering at stuff that they think sounds funny. The party of ideas has become the party of Beavis and Butthead. -Paul Krugman

    Not familiar with 5th ed multiform or the Amnesia disad, but...

    Could you just have the Amnesia disad at a lower point level to represent being able to manifest her at times?
    Zombies allow GMs to give players practice in outsmarting things. Start with mindless things like zombies - if the players succeed in outwitting them, start working your way up.
