Limitation: Friegthens Most Animals And Small Children is related to his Shape Shifting ability (his disguises fool adult humans easily enough, but he gives off subtle vibes that animals and children younger than 10 pick up on loud and clear). 4) I've been pondering whether to keep Daniela as a DNPC on his sheet or make her a 0-point "pet" and just mention her in his fluff text somewhere. If I go the later path, I'll need to replace the DNPC Disad with something else appropriate; I don't want to alter the number in his Experience column if I don't have to....for obvious reasons. 5) Whenever he shape shifts into Rolland, he uses the Makeover adder to increase his COM to 16.

Marcus Impudite Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Re: Project 1000: Build a Legend/Megahero Since he dies if the gem is destroyed' date=' just what is the def/body of that gem?[/quote'] He bought some extra Regen with the gemstone as a Focus and normally I would have based its BODY/DEF on the Active Points/5 rule for the Focus Limitation, but in this case that would have made it a little too tough a nut to crack by my calculations. Thus I'll thinking about either handwaving that and making it 2 BODY/3 DEF, or maybe going back and adding Fragile to the Focus; just so if someone actually manages to lay hands on it they'd actually stand a fair chance of breaking it. EDIT: I went with making it Fragile. The Heart Of The Abyss is now 1 BODY/1 DEF, which is concordant with it being his Achilles Heel. Incidentally, the point saves from that just bought him some Lightening Reflexes with his claws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With it being so fragile, he's going to be pretty careful protecting it. Let's say he's hiding it in his cloak, and a PC with EDM figures out the cloak is a pocket dimension. Would you allow the player a roll to access that exact pocket dimension and steal the gemstone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Impudite Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Re: Project 1000: Build a Legend/Megahero With it being so fragile' date=' he's going to be pretty careful protecting it.[/quote'] Indeed. Let's say he's hiding it in his cloak, and a PC with EDM figures out the cloak is a pocket dimension. Would you allow the player a roll to access that exact pocket dimension and steal the gemstone? If he were carrying it with him in his cloak, I might. The question is would he necessarily have to have it on him all the time, or could he leave it in his sanctum back in Dark Realm or keep it a safe at his office at least part of the time?

Well, if it's on his person, it will have a 7000 point guardian. What sort of protection would it have in the Dark Realm or in his office? Maybe security by obfuscation, if he hid it within something innocuous... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
