astralfrontier Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 I'm creating an NPC whose main power is the creation of "image-duplicates" of herself. She can project a self-image to another location, see through its eyes clairvoyantly, and so forth. The images can be recalled from basically anywhere. The power construct is: Duplication, 200 point base, Easy Recombination, Ranged Recombination (+1/2), Altered Duplicates (+1/4), Megascale: Planet (+1 1/4). + Mind Link and etc. Since the only "range" aspect permitted for Duplication is the recall function, I assume Megascale will apply to it. The Duplicates, being immaterial projections, replace Duplication itself with an always-on Desol, Life Support, etc. Any problems with this construct, aside from "looks twinky"?

Talon Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 I'd require a Sense (Clairvoyance probably) in order to create the Duplicates in a particular spot to which the character does not have LOS. And yes, looks full of twinked-out-goodness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astralfrontier Posted February 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 The duplicates can't be PLACED anywhere arbitrarily, only RECALLED from any arbitrary place, if that helps at all. The actual process of duplication is still a "no-range" thing, it's just that she can "shut off" a projection at any time, from anywhere.

Farkling Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 Why even create a Duplicate? If they can't interact with the real world, why not just buy Clairsentience with multiple perception points? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dust Raven Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 Originally posted by Farkling Why even create a Duplicate?

All the "image-duplicate" needs to be is a SFX. BTW, Farkling....just how are "multiple" perception points bought? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astralfrontier Posted February 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 Because the duplicates can also be seen and heard? And because the actual cost of Images + Clairvoyance to do this feat is astronomically high? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Anomaly Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 Then don't buy Images to go along with it. Take "Visible" as a Limitation instead, and define the SFX of the Power and its Limitation that people at or near the perception point see and/or hear the character doing the perceiving.

Farkling Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 Dr. A beat me to it. If the perception point is visible, tyhat's a limitation, not Images. Dust Raven...check in either Fantasy or Star Hero...I think Fantasy Hero. Wherever I read it, movign a perception point was also covered.

Dust Raven Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 Thanks, Farkling. I believe Jolan has recently acquired a copy of FH. I'll see if I can take a look something this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't you go with this group of power instead. Images Sight Sound (Megascale) Clairvoyance, Clairaudiance (Planet) I use these tow powers to create a character Called Video who could replay the last 30 minutes in an Area. Never mind (I should read all the post not just the first few.) A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
