The Liberty Sub

[MuscaDomestica]

In our golden age game WW2 is just about to start and our group pooled our points and bought a 200 point base. Because we will be going to war I thought about a sub as the base. Wondering what people think of the stats...

Bases don't move. Even though it's treated as a base, your submarine should be built as a Vehicle.

[MuscaDomestica]

I know, it is built as a Vehicle.

[BobGreenwade]

Hm... I looked at it twice and it looked like a Base, but then I looked just now and saw the SPD Characteristic.

 

What threw me, I think, was the lack of a Size characteristic. Even looking further down (going on the assumption that this was using the old Vehicle format) I couldn't find any reference to Size. I don't see DEF either. You've probably accounted for them, since the cost appears to be figured into the Characteristics Cost, but they're not on the sheet as of this writing.

 

Also, even in a heroic game, a Vehicle always pays for its equipment, with the sole exception of other Vehicles.

 

As minor quibbles, multipliers for extra individual pieces of equipment (like the x4 guns) are purchased separately fromt he main power, without any Advantages or Limitations; and you misspelled "diesel."

There seem to be problems with vehicle print-outs out of hero designer.

You've bought the powers through an Immobile focus. That's alright for a base, but a vehicle is only a Bulky focus.

If it doesn't move, it's not much of a vehicle.

I thought "Clumsey but mobile" was the Lim for vehicle equip.....

[MuscaDomestica]

ok... going to work on the changes.

On a different note, the use of summon for the Torps was clever.
