nexus Posted August 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Re: 6th Edition Question: New Powers? Regeneration is 2 points per 1 BODY per 1 Week, 4 points per 1 BODY per Day, ... 16 points per 1 BODY per Turn. Can it only be purchased for 1 Body? I wouldn't think so but I wanted to be sure. I also imagine the Regrow Limbs and Ressurection options are still in place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nexus Posted August 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Re: 6th Edition Question: New Powers? It's before taking off PD/ED - in fact' date=' it occurs before rolling the dice.[/quote'] Hm it's sort of Invulnerability Power, if you purchase enough of it. There's no Mental version?

Beast Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Re: 6th Edition Question: New Powers? so what is the cost per DC negated and from your discription of regen it is now built like FTL so can you go above per turn?(18 pts per phase,20 pts per segment) if that is the case you could have regen as a defense Yes, I could have, but since they have new names, I treated it as, for example, removing Force Wall, and adding Barrier. Damage Negation is bought as Physical or Energy and can be limited further by Limitations. Each "level" of Damage Negations removes a Damage Class from an attacking Power. So for example "Damage Negation (-6 DCs Physical), Only against Bullets" reduces a 2d6 + 1 RKA defined as a gun to a one-pip RKA. Regeneration is 2 points per 1 BODY per 1 Week, 4 points per 1 BODY per Day, ... 16 points per 1 BODY per Turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also an Adder called Reduced Negation that can be bought on Attacks that cancels Damage Negation (that is, 1 level of Red Neg cancels 1 level of Dam Neg). Per Turn is the limit for Regeneration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Re: 6th Edition Question: New Powers? using the FTL model is kinda weird any reason on why the cost increase over both the original version and the kludge of healing speaking of which did that special rule for it stay in? 5 points per 1 DC Physical or 1 DC Energy.

Beast Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Re: 6th Edition Question: New Powers? seeing what Rod has written about Negation it looks a bit like piercing from Champions 3 but in this case there is a counter to it other than hardening 5 points per 1 DC Physical or 1 DC Energy.

ajackson Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Re: 6th Edition Question: New Powers? Does damage negation work vs AVAD attacks?

LoresLost Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Re: 6th Edition Question: New Powers? The new regeneration looks like a recovery bought with 'down the time chart' 1 pt for a month -> 2 pts for a week -> 4 pts for a day etc (That idea was floated once as house rule IIRC) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doh..yes...I forgot about the stacking aspect of it...but even so...wouldn't see this used at less than the once /day level myself. Well, like Vondy said, it would depend somewhat on style of play. A couple of extra Body per week might be worth a lot in, say, a Valdorian Age game, while not being so useful in the Atlantean Age or Champions.

prestidigitator Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Re: 6th Edition Question: New Powers? Damage Negation, huh? I'm not sure I like the complication of a defender's powers changing the amount of dice the attacker rolls. Well, we'll see. Might have to house rule it as a Standard Effect thing or something, though I suppose the only real difference between that and normal defenses might then be how it works against NND type stuff and all that. Hmm. Come to think of it, it'll be interesting to see how much this does differ from normal defenses. Enough to justify a new Power instead of an option for an existing one?

Zephrosyne Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Re: 6th Edition Question: New Powers? For those who already have the pdf, I was wondering if you could indulge another question?

Zephrosyne Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Re: 6th Edition Question: New Powers? Thank you very much for taking the time to reply. I glad they removed the "Energy" from Energy Blast. However, I wish they changed the name of Darkness to something that is more generic. Darkness kinda implies sight-based. I kinda like the Mutants and Masterminds name for the same power: Obscure. I has a more sense-neutral ring to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobGreenwade Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Re: 6th Edition Question: New Powers?

What changes are we looking at there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What changes are we looking at there? No changes to TK. As for Complications, you need less, but otherwise they are pretty much the same. The only real change (besides the name changes) is that the die rolls for Hunted and DNPC have been replaced by a frequency. Oh, and Reputation has been renamed Negative Reputation. Similarly, the Perk Reputation has been renamed Positive Reputation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, the names of Powers have never bothered♦ me at all. They're just labels and you simply have to separate the game definition from the real world definition.
