Re: How would you do this?
 
How about a Recoverable Charge in which the recovery is being defined as "trying a new task"? And whenever they go home and get a cybercheck-up, wipe the slate clean on what tasks they've done before, just as good role-playing. Works for me.
 
Poison/weapon's easy enough, and already has good explanations.

Re: Multiple Special Effects
 

TRL has a good question, in your example, is that a 4d6 attack (can't tell what Power), or two seperate 2d6 attacks and go off together?
 
I'm under the assumption it's one 4d6 attack, with parts of it having different SFX. The only problem I'd have with that applying the damage to defenses that only apply to a certain SFX.
 
Personally, I'd just define the entire attack as being both SFXs. If the target has a Vulnerability to either SFX, it applies to the entire attack. If the target has a Defense that only applies to one of the SFX, it applies to the entire attack.
 
If you wanted the damage rolled to apply seperately, you should buy two attacks and link them together.

Re: Need some "Smart" powers
 

 
As mentioned above, it's pretty nebulous, but here are some I either did, or considered, for Checkmate. (38 Int)
 
Chains of Logic: Precognition, defined as Super-Deduction. With some time and access to media, the character can determine the actions of a person or group, or the coming of a given event.
 
Strategic Mastery: Bonuses to entire party's OCV and DCV. Requires time, communication, and knowledge of the battle's terrain. Requires opposed skill roll, Strategy.
 
Tactical Mastery: The character is able to study a fighter or group and diminish their advantages. Bought as Drain to Dex, requires 1 turn, Requires opposed skill roll, Tactics.
 
Tactical Study: A super-powered version of Analyze Style. The character can, with just a bit of study, determine what kinds of attacks and defences the target has. (I.E., Hand to Hand, Ranged, Killing, Stunning; Resistant or Non-Resistant, energy, physical or other) by simply watching their actions and reactions. Bought as Telepathy, limited to attack/defense type, extra time, Requires Skill Roll 'Analyze Style'
 
I could come up with more, but those are the ones I recall off hand.

First Days at SeaDay 3Today the gates to Port Rican opened, and Izinith and I entered. Port Rican seems smaller than I remembered, but that may be because I've grown since the last time I was here. Izinith and I searched for a ship headed to Amystus, and we found a Triton vessel, the Sus'hawa, which apparently means Wave Skipper. It's headed for Tezanon. I've never heard of it, but I'm assured it's in Amystus. I've never met a Triton up close before, but from the way they move on their ship, I can see why they are also one of the Great Races, like Man. They move across their ship like it's the most natural thing in the world. The Captain of the Sus'hawa, Master Hushuh, told us we were welcome on his ship, but since neither Izinith nor I had enough coin for passage, we would clean the ship, run errands, and eat last. Izinith seems less than enthused, but I can't wait! Hushuh says the journey will be about two weeks.On the ship, I met one of the other passengers, a priest. Brother Chu seems to be a kind man, if a little caught up in his faith. He spends most of his time on the prow of the boat, in the sun. With skin as dark as his, he has no fear of a tan. Apparently, he's a member of the Order of Tahn in the First Church of the Mother. I don't know how he wears such thick robes in this heat.Day 6Not much has happened so far on the journey. A lot of deck scrubbing and lousy food. But I'm not complaining. I could watch the Triton work for hours. The way the sun reflects off of their blue-green skin... It's fascinating! And when they dive into the water - it may be the most amazing sight I have ever seen. I had heard about their tails, but yesterday Hushuh had to inspect the hull. He just dived into the water and his legs disappeared, and there was a tale! No wonder they wear skirts! The Triton women are also very beautiful, although I don't think I could deal with the scales on their necks and behind their ears. But their jewelry! All the Triton wear such fancy necklaces and earings, even the men. No rings though. I wonder why.Apparently, this ship belongs to a tribe of Waterwalkers, the Sus Huhallash'dai, or the Masters of the Wave Foam. One of the sailors, Wahss, was explaining to me that all Triton identify with one of three groups - Landwalkers, Waterwalkers, or Deep Triton. Landwalkers are the Triton who live on the land, and their skin is a much more colorful, including yellows and reds and purples (although it is still very much dominated by blue or green). Deep Triton live below the sea, and their skin is so pale it's almost ivory.Day 8Today I was wrestling with Izinith, and when he bested me (he does have a tail), I called him a "Child of the Father". Neither of us thought anything of it, but at dinner that night we were joined by Brother Chu, who scolded me. "You shouldn't swear so, Master Amante," he said. "Noone likes a blasphemer." I apologized to the Brother, and for my apology I was rewarded with a lecture on the importance of paying proper respect to the Mother Creator and the Father Destroyer, for each is half of the First Thought, and also to remember to love the Mother Creator and to fear the Father Destroyer in everything I do. Then, when I was late helping wash the dishes because of Brother Chu's scolding, I was yelled at by the cook!

And He's Off!The Eve of My DepartureTomorrow I will leave Fort Anze forever. I, Mikael Amante, am off to see the world of my parents. No more of this jungle backwater for me - I go to see civilization. At dawn tomorrow, I will begin the two day journey to Port Rican, and from there, I will head to Amystus, the Old World. It will not be an easy journey, but Jadus will watch over me through my travels. I've only been to Port Rican twice, and never on foot. Today I said goodbye to Warden Amillo and Mistress Gertrud, the cook. Master Dagun sold me everything I'd need for a journey - including my first sword! I've trained with one with the Warden, but this one belongs to me! Well, off to bed - tomorrow is going to be a long day.Day 1What a day! I sit here in the top of a canopi tree, watching the sun set. It's not safe to travel in the dark, not even on the road. Just after lunch, I saw a group of tooth-monkeys (or is it teeth-monkeys?) travel over head. I don't think they saw me though - they were in quite a hurry. Just a little bit before I stopped, I encountered a junginine. It growled at me, but I threatened it off with my sword and a lot of shouting. I've traveled into the Gundillo Jungle before, but it's different when I know I'm going to leave. The bright flowers seem crisper, and the constant thrum of animal noise in the background becomes much more pronounced. And I've never spent the night. My first great adventure!Day 2If I thought yesterday was adventurous, I had no idea what was coming my way today! While I was eating my lunch, I was attacked by a pack of junginines. They must have smelled my food. There were four of them, and I don't think I could have fought them off alone. Luckily, just as they attacked, a Liziscus came to my aid. I've seen lots of the reptile-men before in the trading post, but Warden Amillo always said they were a closed lot, and a bit cruel. He said his name was Izinith (after the fighting, of course!), and he seems quite nice to me. He said he's heading to Amystus as well, and we've decided to try to find a ship together. The gates to Port Rican are closed for the night, but tomorrow Izinith and I will enter and seek out a ship to bear us to Amystus. Tomorrow, I set sail!The Gundillo JunglesOn the northern shore of Vixis, a small continent that could be more accurately described as an island, is the Gundillo Jungle. A large jungle that takes an experienced guide a month to cross on foot, the Gundillo is home to many of the Liziscus, the reptile men. The Liziscus have built dozens of great cities deep within the jungle, and while many of the cities welcome other races, their location makes them almost unknown to the other races. The Great Races (specifically Men and Tritons) have made a very small foothold in the Gundillo, in the form of a small Port Rican and two smaller subsidiary trading posts - Fort Anze to the west and Fort Crino to the southeast. The jungle is home to a wide variety of flora worth finding and fauna worth hunting, but the Gundillo is famous for the much prized nibiscus flower (whose petals can make both an addictive narcotic and a deadly poison) and the famous skins of the Gundillo Cobra.The Liziscus
