Desolid and Communication Powers


Opale

Question

Hi there !

 

Here is a question that happened in my group about getting the group some kind of communication device or spell. One of the PC is permanently Desolidified, and imbued with a permanent Penetrative Damage Shield.

 

1 - So how could one establish some kind of communication device through HRRP or Mind Link, which would have to be an Focus ? And would the Focus reists his Damage Shield and how, providing the said DS is always On and Uncontrolled ?

 

2 - as that PC is Desolidified, would his communication device need st "Affect Physical World" adder too ?

 

Regards and thank by advance

1A. As noted on 6E1 190, a character’s small carried objects (including his Foci) become Desolidified with him when he does. However, in this situation the character is always Desolidified, raising the practical question of how to give him an object (a communicator) that he can carry and use.

 

This isn’t really a rules issue so much as it is a matter for the GM. I see several options:

 

a.  If the GM wants to be strict about the “practical” or “realistic” aspects of the characters’ powers, then maybe there is no way to give that character a communications device he can use.

 

b.  If the GM wants to charge the character a Character Point cost to let him pick up and carry small objects, apply Affects Physical World (+2) to, say, 5 STR and call it a day.

 

c.  If the GM doesn’t want to worry about such matters, he can just let the character have the communicator and not worry about the “practical” or “realistic” implications.

 

 

1B.  A character’s worn and normally carried objects aren’t damaged by his Damage Shield (absent a Limitation to the contrary). So the answer to this probably depends on what the GM decides re: #1, above.

 

 

2.  Desolidified characters can communicate with the physical world normally. They don’t need to put Affects Physical World (+2) on their voice, HRRP, or other means of communication.
