Diamond Spear Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 How would I construct the following? I want a force field that runs off of a battery (END Reserve I know) and every time the force field is hit with BODY from a Killing Attack it has to use an amount of END equal to the BODY damage to stay powered up. Example 1) a 6 PD force field with an END Reserve of 18 is hit by a Killing Attack that does 4 points of BODY damage. The force field remains at 6 PD and the END Reserve is reduced to 14. Example 2) a 6 PD force field whose END Reserve has been reduced to 3 is hit by a Killing Attack that does 4 points of BODY damage. The force field is now reduced to 5 PD because only 3 points of END were available. Any additional BODY damage from Killing Attacks will further reduce the force field until it is reduced to zero or the END Reserve gets a Recovery. How exactly would you build this power? Help!

Ndreare Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 I would make up a whole new limitation and call it Ablative Endurance-1/2. I think trying to build it by combining existing modifiers would end up very clunky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper-Man Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Or a custom Side Effect. I can see arguments for the Limitation value being -1/4 to -1/2 depending on how often the force field is used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond Spear Posted March 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 I should have also mentioned that the force field would be 0 END to activate/maintain when not taking damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ndreare Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 That should not matter defense is normally 0 def Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister E Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Taking END Reserve damage from the BODY of attacks that hit your "force field" [see below] could be done w/ a special form of Susceptibility. -- If the last 6 points of the END Reserve battery were treated w/ "As Resistant PD/ED" (+2) then they would react as 6 Resistant PD/ED (at least) until whittled down by the above suggested Susceptibility.

Chris Goodwin Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 I believe there's a modifier for this exact purpose in one of the Advanced Players' Guides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
