New Mechanic: Protean Form

[schir1964]

Protean Form (Standard Power / Constant / Self-Only)

The characters body can be changed or distorted to squeeze through openings. It does not allow the character to change his appearance nor does it give any extra reach (see Shape Shift and Stretching). Likewise, while in this form, they can travel at their normal movement rate. They can attack and be attacked while in this form.

 

Protean Form Cost: 20 Points

 

Modifiers

Viscosity (-1/2): Character takes longer to travel through smaller openings based on relative size.

[Relative Limit Size] (Extra Travel Time) {Limit Size Based On Normal Human - 2m Tall}

Viscosity [1/500] (+8 Phases) (4mm}

Viscosity [1/250] (+7 Phases) {8mm}

Viscosity [1/125] (+6 Phases) {16mm}

Viscosity [1/64] (+5 Phases) {32mm}

Viscosity [1/32] (+4 Phases) {64mm}

Viscosity [1/16] (+3 Phases) {125mm}

Viscosity [1/8] (+2 Phases){25cm}

Viscosity [1/4] (+1 Phase) {50cm}

 

Viscosity Limit (Varies): The minimum size [based on a fraction of the characters height] opening that a character can travel through.

[Relative Limit Size] (Limitation Value) {Limit Size Based On Normal Human - 2m Tall}

Viscosity Limit [1/500] (-1/4) {4mm}

Viscosity Limit [1/250] (-1/2) {8mm}

Viscosity Limit [1/125] (-3/4) {16mm}

Viscosity Limit [1/64] (-1) {32mm}

Viscosity Limit [1/32] (-1 1/4) {64mm}

Viscosity Limit [1/16] (-1 1/2) {125mm}

Viscosity Limit [1/8] (-1 3/4) {25cm}

Viscosity Limit [1/4] (-2) {50cm}

 

Thanks to Jaws, my old Protean Form mechanic has been recovered, such as it is. I'm placing it in a new thread for safe keeping. (8^D)

Hmmmm. This seems to me it would be more straitforward to build it as desolidify with some limitations rather than as a brand new power.

 

I have often created characters like this that have bodies made of liquid or vapor. It works pretty well If you place the correct advantages and disadvantages on it.
