Christougher Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Re: What can you do with five points? Ooh, I dunno about that rabbit's foot, dsatow. It's OAF for starters. Wont' be long until the pit boss has your man thrown out in the street. Plus 3d6 luck a second after you need it is not gonna help with the turning of the cards. How about: Rabbit's Foot 2d6 Luck, IAF (Rabbit's Foot. Hey, no-one actually believes they work.) -1/2; Incantations (Gambling cliches like: Pappa needs a brand new pair of spats!) -1/4; Activation Roll -1/4. Actually if you really want to push your lucky rabbit's foot you could keep upping that Activation Roll. Push your real world luck in hopes of upping your character's game world luck. But I don't want to think about that too hard. Tack on a Costs END limitation. Then you can really PUSH your luck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Re: What can you do with five points? 5How about making yourself be pretty? I'm a Super model!: Sight Group Images 1" radius, +/-4 to PER Rolls, Reduced Endurance (0 END; +1/2) (33 Active Points); Extra Time (6 Hours, Only to Activate, Beauty regime; -1 3/4), Limited Power Power loses about half of its effectiveness (Only to look like a beautiful version of yourself; -1), IAF Fragile (Makep up so cunningly applied no one realises you're wearing any. But it's easy to wipe off when they do.; -3/4), No Range (-1/2), Incantations (Requires Incantations throughout; Must jabber on about beauty regimes the whole time. Or bitch about other models.; -1/2), Side Effects (Must always pose for photographers; -1/4), Requires A Beauty Regime Roll (Active Point penalty to Skill Roll is -1 per 20 Active Points; -1/4), Concentration (1/2 DCV; Only while applying make up; -1/4) 0 Hmmm... for the same active points, you could have +11d6 in Striking Features. That would be quite a PRE attack, all right. You'd likely have mobs surrounding you, maybe even fighting each other for more of your attention.

"Say, we can go where we want to A place where they will never find And we can act like we come from out of this world Leave the real one far behind." - Safety Dance by Men at Work Extra-Dimensional Movement (Any Dimension, Single Location) (30 Active Points); 1 Charge which Recovers every 1 Month (-3), Extra Time (1 Day, Only to Activate, -2) I figure if you guys are going to blow up the Earth, might as well start looking for a new place to live. Once a month, I can spend a day opening a portal to a whole new world. Not bad for five points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certified Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Re: What can you do with five points? Very well then, I suggest spending all 5pts on Multiform. Of course the multiform then spends all 25 pts on Multiform. Then that guy spends all 125 pts on Multiform. Then that guy spends 625pts on multiform and finally, that guy spends 3125 pts on something awesome. Sure, it takes you four phases to work up to full power, but it's not like you have to change back anytime soon. Or you can keep on going til you reach infinity/boredom. Season to taste with Lims. Obviously, you will have a lot of matching complications to make up for, depending on how many points the base character is built on Of course, if you want to look less munchkin about it, you can actually buy stuff for some of the intermediary Mutliform's extra points. As far as I know, this is by the letter of the law legal still, but hey you wanted abuse. Anyone else have a sudden urge to watch Dragonball Z?

AnotherSkip Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Re: What can you do with five points? the spork has four points and allows the eating of soup too, yeah the spoon is pointless. Btw with one point left over i'll ignore the knife and keep it around to buy like a perk worth one point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da Hooligan Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Re: What can you do with five points? In a 5th edition game our GM gave us a bonus one time use of 5 points to help us with a coming battle with a group that was running roughshod over us in previous encounters. There were a few limitations such as the points were temporary so that whatever we did with them would only last for one session. I built a multiform with 1 charge expendable that took extra time to activate and a few other limitations that in effect let me rebuild my character for that one session. I don't have the exact stats on it anymore but I was able to rebuild my 350 point character specifically for that fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
