Guest Kolava Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Heheh... There are many reasons for having a focus. In FH, you have the ring which makes you hear a spirit's voice in your head, and in a high tech setting you have a personal digital assistant whose mainframe is a little box that can be stolen.

Guest Kolava Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Wait, can you buy BODY with the focus: body? Then make it unbreakable? Or, for cheap duplication, buy extra focuses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengal Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Why would you want to simulate this with a power, when a Disadvantage would work just as well (Psych Lim: two seperate minds in one body, vcom, total, 25 points)? Paying points for this sort of construct seems like a poor choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paying points for this sort of construct seems like a poor choice. Depends. A second mind (one thinks of Rogue, who has Carol Danvers psyche swimming around in her head) could be the source of some powers, such as Mental Defense, 50% Damage Reduction vs STUN (when one mind gets "staggered" the other takes over, making it twice as hard to CON-Stun the character), and a variety of other effects.

Paying points for this sort of construct seems like a poor choice. Because the second mind might have other skills? Because the second mind might be able to help jar the first one awake, or out of a mind control? Because the second mind might be smarter period?

Bengal Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 By building in all the abilities of the two minds into the "base" character (Base? it's just one character), you can simulate either one being smarter. Or dumber. As far as one mind "jarring" the other awake, build in extra Ego or Mental Defense, or extra SPD, useable only to perform breakout rolls, or whatever. Come to think of it, it might be cheaper to build in the second personality as an AI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
