Pteryx Posted October 19, 2003 Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 The challenge: come up with particularly interesting special effects for things that cost 1 Real Point and no more than 6 Active Points. Example: +2 COM (1 Active Point); IIF (ring, -1/4) (1 real point) This magical ring automatically takes care of your personal hygene to a degree you couldn't manually. You wake up every day with your hair perfect, shiny teeth and fresh breath, no significant body odor, and no blemishes. Normal bathing is unnecessary, though if you get significantly soiled (say, covered in mud) you'll still have to to take care of that yourself. Anyone else? -- Pteryx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 When I first read the title of this thread, I thought you meant 1-point characters. Typically, characters are referred to as '150-point characters' or whatever. I assumed this meant 1 point and perhaps 1 point in Disadvantages (1 Quirk). "I'm playing the team brick! His STR is 20!*" * He's also clumsy, ugly, and as dumb as a bag of hammers. 20 STR 10 8 DEX -6 13 CON 6 9 BOD -2 3 INT -7 8 EGO -4 10 PRE 0 4 COM -3 6 PD 2 3 ED 0 2 SPD 2 7 REC 0 26 END 0 26 STN 0 Total CHA cost = -2 Power: Armor 2/1 for 4 points. Quirk: Thinks wearing glasses constitutes a secret identity (1 point). Ta da!! This was done while posting in about five minutes. Oh FINODH, I need to get a LIFE.

austenandrews Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 If I had my rulebook with me, I'd try to build a world-destroying machine on 6 AP and 1 RP. I'm pretty sure it's doable. -AA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed-F Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 Just buy Gary's rocket to space with usable as attack, a few more megascale increments, and attach it to the Earth to superleap it into the Sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everfull Cooler LS (Eating: Character does not eat) (3 Active Points); OAF (-1), Restrainable (-1/2) (1 Real Point) This is a small one person cooler that is always full of drinks and sandwiches, just hope that noone ever chains it shut on you!
