Re: WWYD if you could recieve ONE super power As long as the duplicates shared memories once they finally rejoined, I imagine your duplicates would be pretty easy-going about it.

Re: WWYD if you could recieve ONE super power

Re: Your PC's DNPC? My last PC had two live-in girlfriends. (Yes, two) It's been years, so I forget exactly what they did, but they got into trouble pretty often, or we had relationship problems. One of the PCs in the last game I ran had 'girlfriend of the week.' Every time it was rolled, it'd be a new girlfriend.

Re: Superfluous Powers Examples in the book suggest 'no', probably to keep Active Point costs relatively high. Look at Invisibility - No Fringe is a flat adder, while its opposite, Bright Fringe, is a limitation. Entangle works similarly - you can buy extra DEF or BODY as adders, but 'only one BODY' is a limitation.

Re: Superfluous Powers Nah. Tunneling costs 5 points for +1" AND +1 DEF. Extra DEF for your tunnelling is 3 points, so you can backform that extra inches are 2" each, if you were allowed to buy them separately (which you're not, at the moment).

Re: WWYD if you could recieve ONE super power At first I thought about Mind Control. But after a bit of thought, I've decided: Psychic Surgery. Mental Transform, major, any possible result, only against things with minds...

Re: based on ego Most people's defensive Ego Combat Value is lower than their plain ordinary DCV. Also, BOECV usually goes against mental defense, which (usually) people have less of than PD or ED.

Re: Can you drain - Life support?

Re: Superfluous Powers Isn't Dispel just Suppress with the Instant limitation?

Re: Input on a bunch of bad guys? Remember, this is not City of Heroes. Does everyone in your group actually need a "travel power"? Maybe buy Seductra a Vehicle that she uses to get around on?

Re: Please help me with new game setting Perhaps there were no non-powered heroes. This seems suggested by your gene-bomb: there's a unified origin for 'supers' and it's genetics, mutation. No tech heroes, etc. A few costumed vigilantes here and there, sure, but once all the superpowered people go away, they'll be few and far between. That said... once the super-powered heroes are gone, why wouldn't there be batman-type vigilantes in the meantime, people trying to "fill the gap" even though there's no way they could, since they have no powers. Second-raters, etc. These guys might be pretty ticked when the powers (and the superpowered people) come back, since in the 20 intervening years, they'd be the ***** of the walk, so to speak. There's nothing I can think of to stop people from trying to be heroes. Get rid of the powers, and you'll probably still have costumed vigilantes Batman-style (even if the original ones are all killed in battle, people are going to keep trying). Is there any particular reason you need them gone too?

Re: Eidetic Sense Adder? Do you require a PER roll to use Transmit? Not everything that's an adder to a sense is also something that requires a PER roll. Eidetic basically says 'anything that you have perceived, you will recall.' Eidetic (10 pts) only for information that's studied (-1) mimics Doctor Shortsighted flawlessly, because the doctor isn't studying when looking into a room, but is studying when he's, well, studying.

Re: what power do i use to stop scrying/bugs Doesn't Suppress need to work on the user, not the effect? Darkness feels more "appropriate" to me. I'm also now imagining 'hardening' Darkness, and buying 'Armor Piercing' for Clairsentience, to get through Darkness... Lots of interesting possibilities there.

Re: A third sense type Because the passive sense is dependent on a transmitter?

Re: Eidetic Sense Adder? Not necessarily. The Eidetic sense adder, as proposed, is eidetic in the manner of video cameras and other recording devices. The average person isn't quite as Eidetic as a video camera or other recording devices, so stuff like 'concentration' and/or 'extra time' would be good things to put there, to mimic the need for study. A combined -1 between Concentration and Extra Time would bring the proposed Sense Adder back down to 5 points for the Talent as it's described (as it requires study). Not sure what the best combination there is. Or you could simply use 'only for information studied' as Dust Raven described it, at -1 that seems appropriate.
