Blue Angel Posted June 8, 2003 Report Share Posted June 8, 2003 Originally posted by Blue I've tried no less than five different models for this power now.

Therefore I'm going to have to live with the imperfect ones, unless I decide this character I'm making is some kind of cosmic villain. Hmmm.... That's too bad Hero has such a problem with this sort of thing. On the limited scale described it seams the power shouldn't be all that costly. At least from a play ballance sort of thing.

Therefore I'm going to have to live with the imperfect ones, unless I decide this character I'm making is some kind of cosmic villain. Hmmm.... Here is a power idea I stated earlier. I fleshed it out a bit. Still fairly high active points but real cost is quite low. 40 STR TK, 60 base pts AOE Explosion, +1/2, 90Active Only to pull objects to center –1, Instant, -1/2 Objects above ½ full TK strength are not affected –1/2 Objects below ½ full TK strength are affected as if they had a weight equal to ½ full TK strength lifting power –1/2. When TK strength drops to ½ full TK strength power has no affect –0. Real Cost 26 Anything above 400 kg is not affected by this power. Any objects affected (400kg and below) are all pulled at the same rate regardless of their mass. The maximum effective radius is 6â€. An effect table would be similar to the following Radius / Movement Imparted 1†/ 8" 2†/ 6" 3†/ 5" 4†/ 4" 5†/ 2" 6†/ 1" 7â€+ / 0" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 This is rather expensive, but "accurate". 16" flight usable as attack (+1) at range (+1/2) 0 end (+1/2) 40 levels of increased mass multiples (+10) (can pull up to the mass of another singularity of the same size) explosion that decays exponentially (+1/2) 432 active points Instant (-1/2) Only to "pull" inward (-1) not within 1" of any object (-1/4) No noncombat multiple (-1/4) Real cost 144. This pulls objects at 16" velocity at 1" distance, 4" velocity at 2" distance, and 1" velocity at 4" distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of Course, your construct can pull literally anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenKimball Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 Originally posted by Gary Instant (-1/2) Only to "pull" inward (-1) not within 1" of any object (-1/4) No noncombat multiple (-1/4) Real cost 144.

Would it really pull at 16" at 1" distance, if the power specifies "not within 1" of any object"? Cheers! Ben the nitpicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben the nitpicker Not within 1" means that exactly 1" away is the closest that the power can manifest. Gary who picks on nitpickers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Angel Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 You guys are obviously nit wits. And I mean that in the positive sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
