Naanomi Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I was attempting to remake an old character from another system.

yamamura Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Re: Super Beauty! One so far, you do not need continuous on your healing. Still looking at the rest of the character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odraude Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Re: Super Beauty! I know I mentioned this in chat yesterday, but Ill post it again. Remember, your active points in a multipower cannot exceed the reserves. Definitely scale some stuff back if you want Looks can Kill or Repelling Gaze.

Matt the Bruins Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Re: Super Beauty! When I was working on a write-up for Super Model last year, Clonus and other folks contributing to the X-Wives Club thread helpfully pointed out that the Flash-based mechanic for superhuman beauty powers was kind of unworkable in play. Feel free to look the character over and see if anything is helpful to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burrito Boy Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Re: Super Beauty! I meant to mention last night in the chat that somebody posted a pdf of COM related powers by Bob Greenwade. I just can't find it. Anybody know where it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to look the character over and see if anything is helpful to you. As a supermodel, that would probably not work as a power. As a 'too much of a good thing' beauty character I think it still works. And yes, I realize my Multipower is broken at the moment, so I will rework it.

Ice9 Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Re: Super Beauty! A couple minor fixes: 2u 1) Anything for Beauty: Mind Control 4d6, Attack Versus Limited Defense (Greater of EGO or PRE; +3/4) (35 Active Points); Does Not Provide Mental Awareness (-1/4), Only In Heroic Identity (-1/4)You don't need AVLD on this - working versus the greater of EGO or PRE would actually be a limitation (probably -1/4). Also, it needs to be Cumulative if you want it to work on people with more than 4 EGO. With that in mind, we get: 2u 1) Anything for Beauty: Mind Control 4d6, Cumulative to 96 points (+1) (40 Active Points); Does Not Provide Mental Awareness (-1/4), Only In Heroic Identity (-1/4), Works versus Greater of EGO or PRE (-1/4) 17 3) Unstoppable Beauty: Force Field (30 Power Defense), Hardened (+1/4), Reduced Endurance (0 END; +1/2), Persistent (+1/2) (67 Active Points); Only to Protect Beauty Power loses about two-thirds of its effectiveness (-1 1/2)There's no reason for this to be a Force Field. Just get Hardened Power Defense. Even if you can't put it in the EC, it's still slightly cheaper, and won't be visible. And one thing which may or may not be an issue: 3u 5) Stopping Gaze: Entangle 2d6, 2 DEF, Cannot Be Escaped With Teleportation (+1/4), Line Of Sight (+1/2), Takes No Damage From Attacks All Attacks (+1/2) (45 Active Points); Cannot Form Barriers (-1/4), Only In Heroic Identity (-1/4)Takes No Damage From Attacks will not actually prevent people from attacking and/or breaking the Entangle with physical force - it just means that attacking the target won't do it automatically, and any attack on the Entangle also hurts the target. For an Entangle that can only be broken by force of will, you need BoECV. Not sure if that was your intent with this power, so if not please disregard this.
