Russell Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 I am trying to make a character with a wide specrtrum detect. Or perhapes a multipower of detects? that can find life forms, energy readings, radiation levels, levels of toxicity in water etc... The thing is this is a fairly open ended number of detects. Would a variable power pool be in order for something like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy523 Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Actually this is easier than you would think. Just by a 10 level detect large class of objects, give it discriminatory, analyze, possibly buy megascale, telescopic & microscopic. Buy the recorder as based on sight to reflect that while the device uses its detect, you have to see the display (Discussion of this is in he front part of the powers section of 6E1) Then apply varying special effect advantage to the detect. For +1/4 you could limit the results to the items you mention. For extra plot device effect you could buy the extra 1/4 A points as a naked advantage to go from your list to any special effect. Then you could add limitations to that such as extra time to activate (retuning or jury rigging the device) as well as an electronics tech skill based roll to get it right. "Yes Captain the Sandmen developed from Silicon based life. I have to adjust the sensors on the tricorder to be able to detect them. Give me a minute?
