Pattern Ghost Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Here's the concept: Two characters (different personalities, stats, powers) share one body. Basic Multiform for that part. Here's the question part: Each character is active for an equal amount of time, on a timer. Let's say they switch every 24 hours. However, if the active character makes an Ego Roll, they can swap off the clock, for a short period of time. For the sake of argument, let's call it an hour. Rules Edition: 5th or 6th (or both) if there's something in 6th that would make the build easier. (Don't have 6th yet, just HD for both editions. And yes, Derrick, I plan to check out Champions Complete =P ) I'm guessing the way to go would be a custom Limitation on the Multiform, but I'm not sure what to value it at.

Maccabe Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Re: Body Sharing Multiform, on a timer, Ego roll to switch off timer Accidental Change- Being in one form for 24 hours, 14 or less to change. That way you might squeeze out extra time in one form with a roll. Mutiform 1 use, Continuing Fuel Charge, Every 24 hours, Side Effect (Accidental Change-Always) if EGO roll failed beyond 24 hour charge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodstone Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Re: Body Sharing Multiform, on a timer, Ego roll to switch off timer Psych Complication: Character thinks he automatically changes form every 24 hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Re: Body Sharing Multiform, on a timer, Ego roll to switch off timer Have an idea: Put NCC on the Multiform (it simply switches). Then use the rule for "Temporary Removing Limtiations" in APG I 142. Example: Multiform (400 points), 80 AP; No Conscious Control (-1/2), 53 Real The power would cost 80 Real without this (specific) limitation. Unless I will it: remove NCC from Multiform (17 Base Points); 17 AP; Time Limit (1 Hour), Requires a EGO Roll, 1 Charge Edit: Alternatively, you could buy it as reducing the Limitation from NNC (-1 worth) too "whatever 1 hour time limit is worth".

Pattern Ghost Posted August 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Re: Body Sharing Multiform, on a timer, Ego roll to switch off timer Christopher, that sounds like exactly what I'm looking for. I don't have the APG II though. Basically, what I'm seeing from your write up is that you buy the ability to bypass the NCC as a power of its own, with the appropriate limitations. Is the time limit baked into that or based on another limitation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattern Ghost Posted August 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Re: Body Sharing Multiform, on a timer, Ego roll to switch off timer Also, thanks everyone who responded. This isn't for a character to use in play, btw, just a concept I was kicking around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the time limit baked into that or based on another limitation? These things work similar to single Power Naked Advantages: Find out the Real Cost difference between the power with Limitation and the one without.* Take that difference as the Base Cost for your Power. Pay endruance per use/try.** Season with Advantages and Limitations. *Or the one with the Full Limitation and your target version with a lesser one. **In this case the "Instant" part isn't a problem. You only need to buy of the Limitation for that long. Unless your GM rules differently (in that case a time Limit Advantage would be nessesary). Instead of Charges there is also the option of "Delayed Use" (APG I 144), wich gives the power a "Cooldown". 1 Phase Delay (use again after one phase) is -1/4. From that go up the time chart.

Pattern Ghost Posted August 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Re: Body Sharing Multiform, on a timer, Ego roll to switch off timer So, similar to buying a partially limited power, in other words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a Naked Advantage this "buyoff" power is a seperate power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
