Much Obliged! Big thanks to Mssrs Derek and Bob. That cleared up any and all confusion.

Howdy. I am ashamed to admit it, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how the point costs were calculated in the 6th Edition book for Double Knockback -- Mega Punching (p. 334). Mega Punching: Double KB (+1/2) on 60 STR (30 points) Base 10 STR costs 0 points. Going to 60 STR costs 50 points (for 60 Active Points) How does applying the naked +1/2 to 60 STR get to 30 points of real cost? I have to be missing something obvious. (And if I have a 20 STR character, how much would the Double KB cost?) Thanks in advance.

On Tooting And Horns Well, when getting his first good look at Zorran The Big Bad Magic Man, Rex Radium--Atomic Detective did lament... "Swamis. Why'd it have to be swamis?"

The Stilt-Man Cometh! I'm a happy camper, if for no other reason than the inclusion of "Mechano-Stilts." I bet someone had to twist Mr. Long's arm to include those!

Another seemingly simple question to which I can't find an immediate answer... Can Simplified Healing also heal back STUN in addition to BODY? I'm trying to fashion a character that recovers from damage (STUN and BODY both) in a speedy fashion, so I'd want to exclude the Extra Time limitation (but 0 END Persistent, Self Only would still be fine). I didn't find anything that answers this in FReD or the FAQs. If it's there, I apologize. Thanks in advance!

Hey, guys. I need your help! I could have sworn that I saw a power in a Hero sourcebook that detailed Teleportation through reflective surfaces, a la the Mirror Master. I thought it was in the UNTIL Power's book, but I couldn't find it on second glance. Does anyone know where this power appeared? Thanks in advance!

Howdy. I'm trying to design a character with a Damage Shield (he secretes corrosive chemicals), but I'm uncertain how to go about building it correctly. Published examples of similar powers seem to be somewhat contradictory. In Hero Bestiary, the Giant Space Amoeba's shield is built as: HKA, Continuous, Damage Shield, Penetrating, 0 END Persistent, Always On, No STR Bonus In the UNTIL SD, however, the example under Acid Powers shows: RKA, Continuous, Damage Shield, Penetrating, Personal Immunity My questions are... 1) Why is HKA--No STR used in one example, and RKA used in another? 2) Why is Personal Immunity used in the second example, and not in the first? Thanks in advance.
