Re: Hello and question about powers and such Hmm that's a very interesting writeup Starwolf, thanks! Here's my edit: Power Brew: +10 STR, 6 Continuing Charges lasting 1 Week each (+1) (20 AP); Independent (-2, Fragile (-1/2), Expendable, Hard to Acquire (-1/4) ) Cost= 20/4 I got rid of delayed effect because it didn't fit the power at all given the 4th edition text, and because it isn't an advantage in the way it does apply, but rather a limitation (it takes a bit of time to take effect). I got rid of Uncontrolled for similar reasons (STATS are passive and don't need it). I changed the 6 Continuing Charges from (+1 1/2) to +1 since by my reading of the rules I have it makes sense. I got rid of OIF because I think much of what Independent does overlaps this; instead I fudged the Independent bonus a bit to reflect that it's fragile (using the bonus for same from the Focus lim as a yardstick). I got rid of the slowly fades cuz I wasn't willing to make the trade-off.

Re: Hello and question about powers and such 1) yeah no doubt, I'm just wondering about sourcebooks or Websites and such. 2) Okay, how about if the player has only a few sitting around, but it still takes him just 2 hrs. and his lab to make another dose which lasts a week; how about then? I love the addiction idea, thanks. The disad idea has merit too. 3) Yeah I was thinking this would be pretty easy actually and that it was kind of a dumb question.

Hello all, first post from a HS noob here. 1) What material is available for running a villainous campaign? 2) I want a power that consists of a formula that the hero brews up in his lab. One dose takes him about 2 hours to brew up and lasts him a week. Normally he has plenty on hand (a year's supply), but if his supply is destroyed he'll need (special) facilities and 2 hours or no formula... edit: duh, the question is, what kind of modifier is this and what strength is it? [my only idea so far is the lab is a focus that makes charges of a framework (say elemental control) power that last a week (continuous charges or whatever), but is a focus that stays safely in your hidden base really a focus?] The formula adds STR, CON, BODY, etc., if it matters. 3) Is there a way I could give the formula more than one effect, so that early in the week it's at its strongest and later in the week the effects diminish? This isn't terribly important but I'd like to know if anyone's mechanized this sort of modifier, just to know. I'm using Hero System 4th Edition btw.
