Old Man Posted April 18, 2003 Report Share Posted April 18, 2003 Say you have a creature that is basically made up of hundreds of little creatures. A swarm like being. When part of the swarm dies, there are fewer hive minds. So how do you represent it losing INT when it takes damage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted April 18, 2003 Report Share Posted April 18, 2003 Good question. I've made a hivemind creature but never tried for an INT drop. Maybe a Disadvantage, suceptibility 1D6 INT, every time you suffer a certain percentage of loss of your hive-lets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobGreenwade Posted April 18, 2003 Report Share Posted April 18, 2003 Maybe INT could be Linked to BODY? Another way of handling it might be with a variation on Vulnerability -- 1 1/2 BODY versus everything, except that the extra 1/2 is translated to INT (if you apply the same number of character points to the loss as with Adjustment Powers, you lose 1 INT per 1 BODY).

Hitchhiker Posted April 18, 2003 Report Share Posted April 18, 2003 If I would create a hive-mind, I'd also include an EGO and PRE-Drain. INT is the most important, for sure, but if the swarm gets smaller, other attributes may also decrease. Just my two cents... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinecone Posted April 18, 2003 Report Share Posted April 18, 2003 Physical lim:loses X Int per X body lost....I agree that Ego should also drop...neat idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Posted April 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2003 Susceptibility to Damage just sounds so wrong in every case but this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
