Desaro335 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 I am trying to build Servo Powered Arms for a hero. Remember in 5th that they had a limitation that you could buy Str just for lifting but am not seeing it in 6th. Has it gone away or has it been renamed?

IndianaJoe3 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 It hasn't gone away. It might treated as a Limited Power (the catch-all Limitation for anything not defined elsewhere). I'd value it at -2, but you might adjust that based on what else you think, "lifting strength" can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuSoardGraphite Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Since you are removing the ability to do damage from str, i would rate that as a -1 limitation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armitage Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Champions Powers has "Lighter Than a Feather" in the Density Alteration Powers chapter. +40 STR (40 Active Points); Nonpersistent (-1/4), Only For Lifting (-4). Total cost: 8 points. That Limitation seems excessive. It was -1 for the same power in the 5e UNTIL Superpowers Database. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndianaJoe3 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 It makes sense if you consider it to be the inverse of Hand-to-Hand Attack (aka STR, Only To Do Damage, -1/4). It seems we can value the Limitation several ways, based on how much STR is actually limited. At -4, STR can only be used for lifting. At -2, STR can be used for lifting or escaping from a grab or entangle. At -1, STR can be used lifting, escaping, or crushing, but not as part of a Strike. Do these values seem right?

dmjalund Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 alimitation should be greater if the user can lift the weight, but can't throw it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
