Lucius

Actually, when he said "it took me to do it" he was lying. Lucius Alexander The palindromedary says his lips were moving

Actually, according to the Character Creation book p. 374, the character may take other actions during that time. So I think you hit on the actual solution here. Khas' Gun: (Total: 80 Active Cost, 16 Real Cost) Blast 8d6, Time Limit (5 Minutes; +1) (80 Active Points); Extra Time (1 Hour, -3), OAF (-1) (Real Cost: 16) Use for five minutes, pause an hour, use for five minutes, pause an hour, etc. Lucius Alexander The palindromedary pauses for a tagline op.

"...Listen: there's a hell of a good universe next door: let's go." e e cummings Lucius Alexander All in green went my love riding, on a great palindromedary

I believe the Rules as Written consider an instant power with Time Limit to qualify for Continuing Charges. Lucius Alexander The palindromedary reminds me I could be mistaken

Yes, you're missing something. you're missing the implications of the Time Limit Advantage. The ONLY reason it's there is to permit the Continuing Charges to work. Lucius Alexander And a palindromedary with no time limit

Even simpler: just don't put any Limitations on it that would prevent it from returning when thrown. Any ordinary ranged attack is by default usable over and over. The question asked boils down to "How do I get a Power to act the way the Power acts by default?" and the answer is, "don't change that default by the Limitations you use." Lucius Alexander The palindromedary wants to know what "Spartan Style" means

Pitchforks and torches are not necessary. What's necessary is to point out that no, Martial Arts are not OVER priced, they are UNDER priced. Lucius Alexander And a priceless palindromedary

Hey, I thought we were supposed to stay PG here.... Lucius Alexander The palindromedary is anatomically incapable of being rated R

Arepo Is the Goddess of Death and Rebirth. Her geography is Jurmunganger the Long Land, a single narrow twisting continent that encircles the entire Torus - or would if at any given moment 30 to 59% of it were not underwater. Which is sea and which is land shifts according to complex interlocking cycles of varying lengths. Lucius Alexander The palindromedary says now we need to go eat a donut.

I did not intend that, and I did not do that. Emphasis added: You cannot "switch out one clip for another (1 phase.)" It takes an hour to switch clips, the way I built it. My mistake was in overlooking that a character switching clips can do nothing else during that time. If one is willing to handwave that, my build is a solution: Othrwise my build is a failure. Lucius Alexander The palindromedary reminds me that, speaking of charges, I need to go get a new battery.

You don't need an END Reserve. You need a power that works for 5 minutes then shuts down for an hour. Khas' Gun: (Total: 80 Active Cost, 25 Real Cost) Blast 8d6, Time Limit (5 Minutes; +1) (80 Active Points); 16 clips of 1 Continuing Charge lasting 5 Minutes (Increased Reloading Time: 1 Hour; -1 1/4), OAF (-1) (Real Cost: 25) Works for five minutes then shuts down for an hour. Lucius Alexander I don' t need a palindromedary, I just need a tagline that references one.

Definitely this one - Lucius Alexander Some people find the palindromedary disturbing

I could be mistaken, but I think you actually can put a Computer on a Focus. Lucius Alexander Putting a palindromedary on a computer

.....as he walks away and leaves them entangled as he leaves the building. Kind of the point I was getting at with Barrier. I don't think the way you have these powers written up does what you actually intended it to do. Lucius Alexander Entangling a palindromedary

If I understand this, it allows you to create a wall and walk away from it leaving the wall standing there. Lucius Alexander The palindromedary says we were also going to point out that doubling costs of Characteristics after a certain point is a bad idea that should be avoided, but it seems you're already steered well clear of that mistake.

Gusto, the God of Enthusiasm? Lucius Alexander The palindromedary notes that the word "enthusiasm" is from roots meaning "God filled"

TKDGuy believes L. Marcus plans to team up with Denmark to steal all of Finland's ice cream - again! Lucius Alexander Plans to team up with a palindromedary to post taglines!

I do have certain Skills I default to so to speak. Stealth. If you are a player character, there WILL be times you need to be sneaky. Concealment. If you are a player character, there WILL be times you either have to find something hidden, or hide something, probably yourself. Paramedics. If you are a player character you will very likely either at some point get hurt or at some point be there when someone gets hurt. Lucius Alexander I always default to using a palindromedary tagline but I'm not sure that's a Skill....

I think one thing you may be overlooking is that you have a decision to make. Is the scene where the hero leaps after a falling person and somehow catches up in time to grab them and swing (or whatever) to safety, something you 1) WANT to have happen, or 2) want to NOT happen? Because the quote above sounds like you want it to happen but here - you seem to be arguing against it. If you want it not to happen, that's easy: Just Say No. If you want it to be possible, I suggest calling for an Acrobatics or Breakfall roll, or if the hero lacks those Skills, maybe a DEX roll at a penalty. If your situation is that you are not the one running the game and are afraid that your character will face this situation and want to be prepared, you might ask whoever is running the game how they will handle it and find out what they think will fly (so to speak.) If they don't think an Acrobatics roll is enough, what's called for may be anything from your proposal of "Flight, only downwards" to "5d6 Luck, only to save people" or maybe "Power Skill: Superhero (always saves the day)" Lucius Alexander House of the Palindromedary

Captain Winter was cryogenicist who designed a suit of armor that allows him to control temperatures and project beams of freezing cold. He has Science Skill: Cryogenics. Is that Skill related to his background in cryogenics, or his superpowers? Both obviously. It's a false dichotomy. Lucius Alexander KS: Palindromedaries

These might be Science Skills (Pathology and Phermacology) Lucius Alexander Palindromedariologist

This is certainly news to me. Lucius Alexander And to the palindromedary

Oh, I'm all in favor of this character, or any other appropriate character, being licensed. I'm just opposed to charging points for it. I see it as being covered by the Professional Skill. Having PS: Physician means you come equipped with a medical degree, a stethescope, and a license. Lucius Alexander The palindromedary wants to scope out some stethas.

I think megaplayboy has the right answer here, Lucius Alexander The palindromedary says I failed my Analyze: Hero Rules roll

I have never understood why, if a character pays points for the necessary skills to qualify for a license, they should have to pay still more points to have the license. Still less do I understand what it would mean to pay points for the license and then not take the Skills. As far as I'm concerned, if a character has the necessary Skills, they automatically have the license UNLESS there is a good reason (such as a relevant Complication) why they wouldn't. Do you assume a character has no license to drive unless they pay points for one? Lucius Alexander Riding an unlicensed palindromedary
