Duplication Quesstions

[Trebuchet]

1) I'm not exactly certain where a Duplicate is when it is created? Standing directly next to the original, or at some distance?

 

2a) If a character with Duplication can create several identical duplicates who also have Duplication, can these duplicates help create additional duplicates up to the maximimum number? Or is only the original character capable of duplicating?

 

Example: Crazy Ivan A can make 6 identical duplicates of himself. He takes a half-phase to create a single duplicate, B. On their next Phase, can A & B each act to create another duplicate, thus creating an additional two, C & D?

 

2b) Or if each identical character with Duplication can create X duplicates, can he end up with X squared duplicates? (I.e., could Crazy Ivan above make 36 duplicates?)

 

3) Can a character purchase the Autofire Advantage in order to create multiple duplicates more quickly?

1. It’s created right next to the character.

 

2. Only the original character Duplicates. If he wants his Duplicates to create Duplicates on their own, the Duplicates need to buy their own Duplication power. There’s a question or two in the Rules FAQ about this, IIRC.

 

3. No. There’s a Rules FAQ question about creating Duplicates more quickly.
