Michael Hopcroft Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 I'm trying to figure out how to create a character who can summon anything he desires from his pocjets with the following limitations: 1. It has to be able fit inside the pochet he pulls it out of. 2. It can;t be worth more than 20 real points (no pkcket-sized Doomsday Devices).] 3. It cannot have excessive monetary value (no handfuls of diamonds). Basically this would be with OIF Magic Coat. Essentially this is used to produce tools, gizmos (need an untracable cellphone?) and small weapons (he can produce a fully-loaded snubnose pistol at need, but not a machine gun). I thinking of putting this coat in the hands of a street-level superhero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farik Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 The obvious answers seems to be a Variable Point Pool with your listed limitations on the control cost. The value of those limitations will depend on your campaign setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levi Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 How about a Summon with the Expanded Class Advantage or even a Transform with an Improved Target Group Advantage. I would stay away from VPPs unless you can find absoluely no other way to create the desired effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost who Walks Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 Maybe a variable power pool, to simulate the powers. Objects (like a pair of Wellingtonboots) could be done with a cosmetic transform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmenace Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 One of my players is doing something similar with a Magician's tophat. She bought it, after checking with me, as a Summon, amicable (+1), OAF unique tophat (-1), Objects must be able to fit through tophat sized opening (-1/2), Real world objects and or animals (-1/2) Gestures (-1/4), Incantations (-1/4) As a side note of warning, did you know a LAW rocket fits nicely through that sized opening? You might want to go over with the player just what is and isn't acceptable. It was an awful abuse of power but I was really proud of her nascent gamer sensibilities.
