Ninja-Bear Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Quick question. Okd school shrinking you had 1/2 running per level of shrinking. In fifth can I represent this as a side effect or must side effect be listed as a set number such as -3 running? Your thoughts. And thanks.

IndianaJoe3 Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 I'd allow the 50% reduction as a Side Effect. It might not be worth much, though, especially if the character has another form of movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdamnhero Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 I think -3" Running is probably technically more accurate, but I'd be fine with someone listing it as x1/2. The cost is pretty low anyway, so unless the shrinker starts with more than, what, 16"(?) it won't make a difference points-wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasha Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 If the PC has increased running, perhaps buying the extra inches with a limitation "Not while Shrunk" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinecone Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 You can take a Physical limit "Tiny size" as a Side effect of shrinking...that lets you add in various minor annoyances, including slow running...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vondy Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 You can take a Physical limit "Tiny size" as a Side effect of shrinking...that lets you add in various minor annoyances, including slow running...? This could be expressed as Side Effects (Physical Limitation). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Just taking the physical complication then making the frequency low enough to represent how often its a limitation. Rarely would be my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Impudite Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Closest thing I've seen in published Hero books is on page 179 of UNTIL Superpowers Database, the fifth option under the Microsize power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja-Bear Posted March 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 The gist of yhe question was not how to buy mechanically as so much as in the description can I just list it as x 1/2 run as in 3rd edition or must I buy it as -3 run ?

bigdamnhero Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 I think -3" is more technically correct, as the value of the Lim will/should vary based on how much Running the character has. But I'd be fine with someone using x1/2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
