Hello all, I am working on an idea but not sure how to go about it... The character uses a mecha for their powers. However, what I want is that the mecha is sentient or at least semi-sentient, can move and act on its own, but not necessarily combat or such. The human pilot 'merges' into the mecha for use. Kinda like a reverse duplication in a way, I guess. Any suggestions on how this can be done? I thought of just creating a vehicle and AI and buying them as such. Also thought of using multiform and of course Duplication.

Thanks all, sorry I did not reply earlier. Lots ideas to think about. It's not something I'll be able to use right away in our game, but just a thought. We'll see what the GM let's me get away with.

Hi all, I have design question. I am playing a Nehkojin and I was thinking of dba attacks. How would you design an attack where you hit someone, knock them away, then zip behind them to attack again?

duh, it was, sorry for that. My stupidity flaring up.

I'm helping a friend sort out a character idea. The character is basically one mind with 2 bodies. This is in 5e, any suggestions on how to handle this? My first thought, as is his, that it's duplication, but that doesn't cover the one mind.

Well Phys Lim: Nearsighted doesn't quite describe exactly what it does. all the examples, except for Phys Lim: Blind describes some effect with the limit. Heavy sleeper, -3 to checks to wake up. One eye: half OCV and no peripheral sight on the affected side. It is also only a 10 point Limitation. Well I can say this, as I am nearsighted, reading a book at arms length is not an issue, street signs, like the ones on corners with 'tiny' print are hard to read except when close up, or almost in effect passing it. But in general other things, like buildings, cars and people are not blurry. I made it Frequent because of the fact she may not have glasses or contacts at all times, I wasn't actually applying a focus to the disad. I was making Minor mainly based on my own experience, I think I am around a 20/30 Thanks for the info, I am just trying to gather ideas.

Physical Limitation: Near Sighted w/out glasses or contact lenses; (Frequently; Slightly Impairing) I am creating a character and I chose this disad, but the book doesn't really cover the effects. What would be the effects? Like -2 OCV vs anything beyond 2 hexes, etc.

Thanks. I'll pass on this information to my friend and see how it goes from there.

Tom, I thought about follower but I am not sure if the GM actually controls that. It does say the GM has final say on the actions of the follower so it sounds like the PC would not be able to play as they want.

I assume as far as they want.

For a bit more, they want neither to considered the 'base' character, they both are, exactly the same. I was thinking two characters with something like Mind link and what else to share knowledge? Summon perhaps?

I'm back with another. I am helping a friend with a character design. He wants to create a duplicate power, both have the same power, but in effect they are both simply the same person. One mind, two bodies. Is there a way to design this? I though of for sure adding cannot recombine.

Thanks for the replies. The character I am designing uses a device or suit or some such, an OIF basically, that allows them to transform into different forms. In one way I'd like them to be able to be able to remove the costume of the new form to be able to wear normal street clothes and such. However, I also need to a way that other PCs could transform them back, as personality loss is a possibility and they fully become this other form, which could be a villain.

Am I correct in assuming if your focus is removed your multiform ends? or are you just stuck in that form?

Has anyone written up characters from Darkstalkers? I have been to Surbrook's page and found Hsien. I am looking for basic ideas or work on Felicia and Morrigan in particular.
