Lord Liaden Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Did you just want existing characters who can duplicate themselves? Or Hero characters built with the Duplication Power? In either case, Esper from Champions Villains Vol. 3 qualifies. She can create a psychic-energy duplicate of herself. Avant Guard of Professor Paradigm's Paradigm Pirates can reproduce himself up to 16 times. And Tyrannon the Conqueror is all about Duplication.

TheQuestionMan Posted July 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Player wants something like Alisha Whitney from Marvel's Agents of Shield. Powers Duplication: Alisha has the power to replicate herself, creating a number of copies that can then operate autonomously. The copies communicate conventionally, although they are also bound to their creator to some extent, as should Alisha be rendered unconscious, all of the duplicates will also slump to the floor. Abilities Martial Arts: Alisha has demonstrated a notable level of skill in unarmed hand-to-hand combat. Weaknesses Alisha's duplicates are all tied to her original body. Should the original Alisha become incapacitated, so do all of her duplicates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywind Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Sounds like a summon more than duplication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQuestionMan Posted July 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Self Replication: Duplication (creates 7 350-point Duplicates) (85 Active Points); Increased Endurance Cost (x3 END; -1), Restrainable (All Duplicates Rendered Unconcious When Primary Unconcious) (-1/2), Concentration (1/2 DCV; -1/4), Costs Endurance (Only Costs END to Activate; -1/4), Extra Time (Full Phase, Only to Activate, -1/4) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should the original Alisha become incapacitated, so do all of her duplicates. One important thing about Duplicators is: They have a lot of powers that have Duplication as Special Effect, but do not actually involve Duplication (the Hero System Power) being used. Especially the rule that a Duplicate/Summon needs time to orient itself might throw a monkey wrench into many ideas. So you have to build other powers more direct. The Alisha example: The weakness is the somewhat hard part to model. Everything else is already part of Duplication rules. Do you need to have the weakness, or can you just run without it?

Christopher Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 My Player does not want to lose his Duplicates if they die. How do I build that? QM Is Character (duplicate) death even a relevant factor in that game? I mean outside of "the player wants the duplicate to temporarily die as part of a radiation accident/storyline." If not, then there is no writeup needed. If nobody dies, nobody dies - duplicates included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheQuestionMan Posted July 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Good choice. He wants the Duplicates to be able to sacrifice themselves fixing the reactor, but still able to Duplicate 7x without penalty. A Duplicating Suicide Bomber. As long as the Primary survives the PC can continue to produce 7x Duplicates. Note: He started as a villain QM P.S: The simplest ideas are usually the hardest to model.

Christopher R Taylor Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 I just ignore the "lose duplicates when they die" rule. its one of the only rules in the entire game that makes you permanently lose points from your character (deep cover the other). I say they can heal back like any Body lost, unless the character buys a 1/4 limitation that the loss is permanent. Because it is, you know, a disadvantage.

Hadmar von Wieser Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 Marvel Super Hero Contest of Champions (1982) was a rather embarassing try on depicting non-us national super heroes by using us-american stereotypes.China's hero was - what else in that logic? - COLLECTIVE MAN, who could do nothing else but splitting up in an endless mass of bodies. Skilled Normal Duplication, but +150 to get half a billion chinaman doubles? (China had about that in 1980. You'd need +5 today.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steriaca Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 Many Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Stands can be bought as Duplication. They can also be bought as a slavalish loyal Summoning also. Or even the combo of Extra Limbs (extra body) and Streching (Stand range). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
