Escafarc Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 The way I understand (and on occasion I've been wrong:D) it all "Dupes" appear at the location of Base Character/Persona/"Dupe" A. I have a character concept where I see the Dupes appearing or recombining at any location that any of the other Dupes are located at. The recombining can be handled with the Recombine at Range Advantage. I would like to hear some ideas on handling the duplication at range part though. thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice9 Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Re: Question about Duplication I'm not really sure what the reasoning for prohibiting the Ranged advantage on Duplication is, so I would just use that. If anyone knows a reason why that breaks things, I'd be curious to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe at a increased cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice9 Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Re: Question about Duplication A +1/2 advantage on 1/5 of your total cost is not exactly cheap - that's 40 points on a standard Champions character. In fact, taking Altered Duplicates and re-spending the Duplication points on a triggered Teleport may be more cost effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have my books with me and I don't remember if Duplicating is a half-phase or full phase action. If half then you're looking at a range the same as if you were doing a half move with a 1600 pt Teleport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escafarc Posted August 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Re: Question about Duplication Once I got home last night and reread the power there's and option for Rapid Duplication(in the first section of the discription, not under the Limitation of course) that I think will do what I want at a +1/2 advantage. Of course this was after I had figured how to do this with the Usable By Others At Range Advantage on the drive home:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmjalund Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Re: Question about Duplication use non combat tport movement, as the Dupe can't otherwise act in that phase anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escafarc Posted August 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Re: Question about Duplication use non combat tport movement' date=' as the Dupe can't otherwise act in that phase anyway[/quote'] The problem with Teleport is there are a lot of Barrier vs. Teleport in this campaign and I don't see this power as being affected by those from Special F/X POV. The "Dupes can Duplicate" option seems to be what I'm looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
