Zed-F Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 If I use a movement costing 2 points per increment as a movement form costing one point per increment, how is the movement calculated? Say for instance, I have the following: Flight 7", 0 END (+1/2), Usable as Gliding (+1/4) for 24 AP. How many inches of Gliding would that convert to?

It converts to the same amount of the base movement power. Also, if it was converting Flight to Running (as well as Leaping or Swimming) you would NOT get to add it to your base movement (ex: 6" for Running). In the case of Flight to Running, it just provides another way to get the No Turn Mode advantage applied to your inches of Flight.

Zed-F Posted May 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 Re: 5ER question What about in the reverse direction? If I buy 14" of Gliding, usable as flight, does that convert to 14" flight, 7" flight, or an illegal power? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirViss Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 Re: 5ER question In the description of the Advantage "Usable [As Second Mode of Movement]" (5ER, p.124), it specifically says that it has to apply to the more expensive of the 2 powers. Of course, both powers can have the same base cost too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleDevil Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Re: 5ER question ??? :cry: They said there wouldn't be any new rules, no new anything... :cry: What the hell is this!?!?!?!? It isn't really a new rule, I think it's just the Usable Underwater advantage that got a bit expanded. It's a minor thing, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawksmoor Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Re: 5ER question Really? No not the Protects Items Carried Adder, but the multiple modes movement advantage. I could buy my Flight as usable underwater and usable as Leaping if I wanted? Weird. I like movement multipowers. Hawksmoor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dust Raven Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Re: 5ER question Can I buy my Flight as Teleportation? That'd be cool. Maybe I'll buy my Teleportation as Swinging, or my Running as Swimming so I can run a race through that lake over there. Is this Advantage at all even useful? All I can really see for it is to make Running work on water (act as Swimming) or Flight work underwater (act as Swimming). I can't really see anything working like another sort of Movement. Except for Teleportation working as Running or Flight, but that's a Limitation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a new rules section and a bonus CD with extra new rules they couldn't get into the book. OK, maybe not.... Sorry about having a cow (to people still use that phrase... maybe it was changed in 5ER ). It's just that it seemed that there was this HUGE thing right when Mr. Long started work on 5ER about us fans suggesting this and suggesting that and how Mr. Long kept reminding us that there WOULD BE NO NEW RULES, just clarifications and what was included in the FAQ. Except now that it's out on the shelves, there seems to be something new on every page. Not a clarification, but a rule. My the company's own definition, these are new rules, and it just drives me nuts that they made a big deal about how there weren't gonna be any. No don't get me wrong. There's nothing wrong with new rules. Some of these new rules are actually kinda nice to have and I like them. I just don't like the surprise of having them when I was promised there wouldn't be any. Kinda makes me feel like we were told to shut up 'cuz they don't need our help coming up with stuff, even though we were asked for suggestions. Anyways, I better get off my soapbox now. I'll try not to bring it up again if I can help it. (Dont' tell him about the new rules allowing you to expand your force field over people you're carrying. He'll go mad....) Yeah, that was in 5E.

Zed-F Posted May 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Re: 5ER question You can apply it as a naked adder to your native inches of running if you want a little bit of flight (air-walking) or teleport (phasing) on the cheap...

Bloodstone Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Re: 5ER question Flight 7"' date=' 0 END (+1/2), Usable as Gliding (+1/4) for 24 AP. How many inches of Gliding would that convert to?[/quote'] For the points, I think I would scrap the this idea and do this instead: Cost Power END 21 Multipower, 21-point reserve 2u 1) Flight 7", Reduced Endurance (0 END; +1/2) (21 Active Points) 0 1u 2) Gliding 14" (14 Active Points) 0 Powers Cost: 24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
