Still Megascale

[Hugh Neilson]

Now I'm falling prey to Must Continue Rules Analyses to the Ultimate Extreme

 

Comparable to a naked advantage on Sight, can a character buy a naked Megascale on Running (just his base 6") and use Megascale at his discretion?

 

Another question, this one on megascaled senses. Assume a character has a Detect bought Megascale. The item he wishes to detect is located 10 feet away, but he has 1" = 1km. Does he:

 

(a) Fail to perceive it - it needs to be at least 1 km away

 

( Perceive that there is something within 1" (ie 1km) of his present location, but not know where within the 1 km?

 

( makes the most sense to me.

 

[Actually, putting your MegaPower in a multi with a normally scaled power makes the most sense to me, but there you go. Variable Advantage is even better since you can scale to 1" = 10", etc.]

1. Yes.

 

2. The MegaScale affects the range of the Sense (or, more accurately, the distances over which the Range Modifier accrues), and normal rules for the Advantage apply (i.e., the shortest distance at which he can perceive something is 1 km).
