JmOz Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 Is there a way to use the power aid to increase the level of advantage (in this case it would be for it to cover a larger and larger Megascale on an AE:explosion on a transform). This IS for a supervillain doomsday device, not a PC... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawsplay Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 Short answer: No. My suggestion: I think this proposed ability could be built as the ability to Transform the person or object with the power. Since Megascale is mandatory, you are essentially making the Q-bomb from a device with Transform: AoE to one with Transform: AoE, Megascale. At +1 BODY per 5 CP added, this is going to be costly, but for a Doomsday Device, cost is likely not an object. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndianaJoe3 Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 I think you could build the Megascale as a Naked Advantage, and Aid that. Duke Bushido 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeroGM Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 Do it as a naked as @IndianaJoe3 has suggested, you might not even need aided, just build it as Megascale up to XX active points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JmOz Posted December 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 What I am aiming for specificaly: Death Spore hits earth tranforms a small town then transforms the county etc... so the heroes are on a counting clock...figure the bomb should take a month the transform the planet and the heroes get called in when it is just starting past the little of no where town Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndianaJoe3 Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 That doesn't sound like Aid. It sounds more like Damage Over Time, except the area increases instead of a damage increment. Or, maybe several tiers of Extra Time on increasing levels of Megascale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawsplay Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 I would build it as a gradual effect that affects the whole planet, and treat its spreading as a Limitation. Grailknight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grailknight Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 Buy the Megascale at it's largest size and then limit it so it starts at the smallest increment and grows at your desired time intervals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably will basically do that, but with a more complicated build, but this gives me the idea on how... 1d6AE transforms Megascale / Extra time per turn 10 km per min, etc... will need to play with the numbers...

Tom Cowan Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 all most sounds like AoE Expion that keeps getting more DCs as time passes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 If someone already has the power with the advantage on it, then yes, I would allow it as a GM, but its not 100% Kosher by the rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JmOz Posted December 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Thinking I might just change the seed to being a single person transform into someone else with the transform power (ala Vampires) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
