Re: I've got you Sorry, I should clarify... I don't mind the ability to stop movement with a power. I don't even mind if that power is Entangle. What I don't like is the way the above is written. It leaves an awful lot open to GM interpretation (which is essentially how I've been playing it for years, anyhow) But, when I think about it, there are far too many situations I can think of and have encountered in my own games where common and dramatic sense tell me that various characters will still be able to move while trapped by an Entangle. Many Entangles in the books would seem to need a limitation to represent the fact that they will not stop many forms of movement. Entangles restrain arms and legs by default and most of need those limbs to move, so maybe in general this will stop movement for many normal folks. However, I think stopping all SFX's of non-restrainable movement (except Teleport) should probably be an Advantage, not the default/left entirely to the GM's whim. There is also a timing issue involved. As we have said, Entangling Jean Gray by webbing her to a wall or the ground seems pretty acceptable way to restrain her flight. But you are not even going to give her pause if you try to do it while she's in mid flight. I think there should possibly be rules for anchored and tethered Entagles (I remember reading that there used to be an adder/advantage for entangles with a control line... not sure when or why that rule was dropped...) I suppose alternately, we would need to make many characters pay an advantage for the fact that their assorted forms of movement are more difficult or almost impossible to restrain.

Re: How much change to a character do you consider it a new character.

Re: How much change to a character do you consider it a new character. Jay Garick was the first Flash, but Jay and Barry lived on alternate Earths. Jay was actually a comic book character in Barry's world... But they were never intended to be the same character, even though they used the same name.

Re: How much change to a character do you consider it a new character. Different characters, same name, similar history. Batman: The Animated Series, Batman: The Brave and Bold, The Batman, the Dark Night films and the comics are all distinct interpretations of the same character, but they are different characters. By contrast, Batman: The Animated Series, The New Batman Adventures, Superman, The New Batman & Superman Adventures, The Justice League, Justice League Unlimited, Static Shock and Batman Beyond all feature versions of Bruce Wayne/Batman that are the same character and take place in the same continuity.

Re: "Holographing" a la Greatest American Hero See, that's what I couldn't remember, if he was seeing the past of the present. Seeing the past is well established. Seeing the present is too, but you still need some method of sensing the subjects location prior to scrying it with Clairsentience. I still think the -1/2 limitation value from Psychometry is probably a fair starting point though (since you need to have an object to get an impression from)

Re: Pied Piper effect On an AoE mind control that you are sitting in the middle of? Yes, I think that would be wise... "Follow the Piper" would have you chasing your own tail for days

Re: I've got you How does this matter, if most movement is stopped by grabs or entangles anyhow? Well, the dude with entangled wings can't use them for the bit in bold:

Re: Is Always On Necessary for this Inherent Power? While I can see the logic of your thinking, I would say Inherent is probably not actually necessary for this power. Very few things are normally made Inherent in HERO, even many things where it might initially seem logical to do so...

Re: Where to find: Delta and Navy SEAL templates? Would have to look it up, but you have to apply multiple templates to a character before you get the final result. IIRC, Delta Force ends up with slightly better raw combat abilities, but the Seals had a wider range of skills and may have ended up costing more... would have to check to be sure though, as I'm going from memory...

Re: "Holographing" a la Greatest American Hero APG = Advanced Players Guide. And what you described actually sounds like classic Psychometry when applied to Retrocogntion, so the writeups in The Ultimate Mentalist or Champions Powers would probably be perfect for this (or at least a very good starting point)

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore As a general rule: If I like the way two things taste separately, I will at some point probably attempt to combine them. This has resulted in some really odd but delicious food experiences...and many tragedies
