Sean Waters Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Thinking of allowing characters to buy increased adjustment recovery at +1 per point. So, if you spend 2 points on Increased Adjustment Recovery (that really needs a better handle), you recover 7 points per time unit*, rather than 5. Thoughts? *So if the attack has reduced fade rate: 5 per minute, in the above example you recover 7 per minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this would be a new Adjustment Power that by default would only affect the person who purchased it? Quickened Fade Rate (since this is really only affecting the Fade Rate of those Adjustment Powers that have a Fade Rate). Addendum: Have you thought of doing this by letting each purchase move the Fade Rate down the Time Chart.

Sean Waters Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Re: Adjustment recovery idea This: Healing Negatively adjusted abilities 1 point, Reduced Endurance (0 END; +1/2), Persistent (+1/2), Invisible to Hearing, and Sight Groups (+3/4), Decreased Re-use Duration (1 Turn; +1 1/2), all negatively adjusted powers simultaneously (+2) (19 Active Points); Extra Time (1 Turn (Post-Segment 12), Only to Activate, -3/4), Self Only (-1/2) 19 Active, 8 Real ...is 'regeneration' for negatively adjusted powers - each negatively adjusted power or ability recovers 1 character point per turn in addition to anything you get back from fade rate and that happens whether or not the attacking power normally has a reduced fade rate. This: Healing Negatively adjusted abilities 1 point, Reduced Endurance (0 END; +1/2), Persistent (+1/2), Invisible to Hearing, and Sight Groups (+3/4), Decreased Re-use Duration (1 Turn; +1 1/2), all negatively adjusted powers simultaneously (+2) (19 Active Points); Extra Time (1 Turn (Post-Segment 12), Only to Activate, -3/4), Self Only (-1/2), Limited Power Power loses about a third of its effectiveness (negatively adjusted characteristics returned at the fade rate interval of the attacking power; -1/2) 19 Active, 7 Real ...does the same thing but only returns the additional point at the appropriate time interval for the fade rate of the attacking power. Given that I can buy THIS Power Defense (15 points) (15 Active Points); Extra Time (1 Turn (Post-Segment 12), Only to Activate, -3/4) 15 Active, 8 Real ...for the same real cost as the top one, I'm thinking it is overpriced. Sure they do not do the same thing, but 15 points of PowDef is pretty impressive and generally probably much more use. So I'm not thinking that Improved Adjustment Recovery should be a sort of adjustment power itself so much as thinking it should really be a characteristic.

prestidigitator Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Re: Adjustment recovery idea Oy. Yeah. It's so darned ugly on Healing. I still mourn the loss of Regeneration, where it could be a ludicrously simple Limitation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schir1964 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Re: Adjustment recovery idea Ah, now I see where you are going with this. You want a parallel characteristic equivalent to the Recovery Characteristic (for Body/Stun Recovery) but specifically for Adjustment Recovery. Sure, it could work and it might actually make many things more elegant in application to builds. The tough task is getting a ground swell of support to push for yet another Characteristic to be added to the system. Is there anything specific you need to delve into as far as mechanic and interaction? - Christopher Mullins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Recovery.... recovers. An idea I'm behind, at least to an extent - the problem is that in a superhero game, drained characteristics would come back 2-4 times faster than they do at present, making almost any build that did not include 'reduced fade rate' much less potent.
