The Maxx Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 Re: Super Powers that are really "wanted" ... by everyone I can say: good hairdresser or makeup artist' date=' not necessarily multibillionaire.[/quote'] I wouldn't be so sure, remember, COM is 2pts per character point. So, I can see someone shelling out some pretty big bucks to go from an average COM of 10 to a possible COM of 22, and voila you've got an instant model. Not many hairdressers and makeup artists can change a person to that kind've extreme. Of course the other extreme of that would be if someone had a long term Aid for most of the other primary stats and a few of the figured, say something like 1d6 AID to STR, DEX, CON, BODY, PD, ED, SPD, REC, END, STUN all at once (+2 1/2), reduced fade rate (5 per month, +2), and increased Max +24, (12pts), MAx 30 and for a mere 121 active points add limitations to one's liking and you've got instant super agents I wonder how many governments would jump for this one > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Booster Boy" would be in high demand EDIT: Heck, even shorter term increases in Body or Con could be invaluble to those undergoing surgery.

Blue Jogger Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Re: Super Powers that are really "wanted" ... by everyone What if he could create food for a nation? One of my favorites, IIRC, is Firestorm realizing that he could make organic transformation and thus transforms the entire Ethopian desert into a paradise... Which then gets destroyed by the armies fighting for the new resources. "C'est la guerre" (can't be helped/that's war) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
