JmOz Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 Okay guys, I need help, I want everykind of Detect you can think of, making a specilist in this type of thing and need ideas, and LOTS of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patriot Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 sense Clairsentience 20 w/Precognition 20 All sense groups 50 points that should do it for you.( I think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acroyear Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 That is so expensive... detect heat, detect radiation, detect explosive compounds, detect poisons, detect water... you'll be here all year just compiling such a list.

Chaosliege Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 I'll have to give this some thought and get back to you. It is a little harder to figure out how to do this than I had thought. Iwas originally thinking a vpp limited to detect powers, but I'm not sure how to write this up and from the quick eye I gave it, it looks to be expensive.

Patriot Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 If you do it the hard way Acro year is quite correct, it would take you forever and a day to compile a whole list If your Gm oks a concept like this , try and put this by him 20 pt power pool 20 control cost 5 (-1 disad only for senses) I would let either this one, or my last post go thru,this one is muchly more effective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 I once tried to design a detect modelled after Geordi LaForge's VISOR on Star Trek: TNG. This was in the days of 4th Ed. It was something like... Detect: EM Spectrum, as sense, range, discriminatory, targetting With 5th Ed, I'd probably tack on N-Ray since he can sometimes see through walls with it.

Chaosliege Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 Ok.. I've given this some thought and came up with three posible solutions( although 1 is hardly reasonable). First I want to explane how I enterpreted what you want, as I may be looking too deeply into this. I figured you wanted your character to be a master of using the detect power. Someone who could detect anything, at any time, and distinguish it between others. I had to start by figuring out what a basic Detect would cost, as there are three options. The options are: 3pt: a single rare thing 5pt: small group or farely common thing 10pt: large group or vary common thing Since you want to detects vary common things, at least occasionaly we're looking at the 10pt version. Then I had to figure out what modifiers would be added to the Detect. I came up with the following list. Some are obviouse ones you definately want to take, the last couple were ones I just thought fit my vision of it. 2pt: Sense(use as 0 phase action) 5pt: Range 5pt: Discriminitory 10pt: Targeting 5pt: Analyze so all together we've got 10+2+5+5+10+5=37 37pts to detect one group or vary common thing as easily as I could see a person standing 10 ft from me. At this point we can go different directions. You can add one group(or one vary common thing) or +5pts. This would take all day just to think of all the different things. The other two would be: 1) 64 VPP, 37 base + 27 control cost, No Skill Roll Required (+1)(only for changing the power; Detect still requires a per roll), Powers Can Be Changed As A Zero-Phase Action (+1) (92 Active Points); Limited Class Of Powers Available (Very Limited; -1) 2) 55 Detect A Large Class Of Things 11-(per roll) (Analyze, Discriminatory, Range, Sense, Targeting Sense), Variable Special Effects (Any SFX; +1/2) (55 Active Points) Well that's allI can think of. Of couse there are other options available for the Detect, and you dont have to take all the ones I did. But there's a starting place.
