Was I not allowed here?

What did you expect? Did you expect for me to lie about my age? 

Isn't AOL a respect term meaning "Above Our Level"?

Would Disugh work?

Say I have this power (the limtations aren't important for the question)

 

Blast 8d6 (40 APs)

 

and I have two naked advantages 

 

Armor Piercing (+1/4) for up to 40 APs of Blast.

 

0 END (+1/2) for up to 50 APs of Blast.

 

 

Applying them Armor Piercing then 0 END, do I still pay end for the Armor Piercing Effect?

 

I didn't even notice the bear, until I zoomed the page to 250%.

 

Vision fail.

You aren't the only one. 

One way to look at it might be to compare changing the memory to how hard it would've been to change the actual event. Say you want someone to remember that the car they saw was black instead of red - changing the color of the car itself would've been a Cosmetic Physical Transform, so changing the memory is a Cosmetic Mental Transform. "That wasn't an alien spaceship you saw, it was just a helicopter" might be Minor. "You didn't see anything" might be Major or even Severe depending on how much they saw. That seems like it might drive some player creativity, as the wipe works better the more closely their implanted memory matches the original memory.

 

An alternate approach might be to base it on how much time is being wiped. Since the MiB neuralizer seemed to work equally well on the strong-minded and the weak-minded alike, assign "BODY" values to each step on the Time Chart. So wiping 1 Turn's worth of memory might be only 10 BODY, but wiping an hour's worth is 20 BODY. Depends on how you want it work narratively in the game and how infallible you want it to be.

I like both of these ideas. I believe that using them in conjunction is a great idea. The Multipower idea is great too, but I may increase the power level to maybe 8d6 Major, 12d6 Minor, 6d6 Severe. Cosmetic, really for me, isn't necessary.

And yet if you had Regen, 1 BOD per week with Resurrection, you would pay 22 points - 5 points more to recover BOD slower. So, no, I don't consider that a valid build. Sorry, Steve - I think that -2 limitation for "resurrection only" is dead wrong when evaluated objectively. You want to be capable of coming back from the dead? 20 points, no discounts. If it's not worth 20 points (in general, or in a specific campaign) change the fixed price that applies to everyone.

 

Maybe the adder should be cheaper than the 20 points ported over from Healing - after all, it is self only when applied to healing.

What's wrong with the build? It fits the description perfectly, it doesn't violate any rules, and it clearly states its effect. Now, the 20 points for Resurrection is a good adder on just normal Regen. The reason that I justify -2 for Ressurection Only is because you are buying a stable regen and limiting it to a very uncommon situation, death. This means you will almost never be able to use it. 

So, if the Regen was 1 BOD per day, would you slap a huge advantage on the Resurrect adder to make it 1 BOD per hour? I don't think coming back in a day instead of an hour markedly reduces the value of being able to come back from the dead, nor do I think it's really well-defined how rapidly one recovers from death using resurrection. If I wanted to rules lawyer, after 1 hour, you recover 1 BOD. You are still at negative BOD, so you lose 1 BOD in post-segment 12. On that basis, 1 point of Regen can never resurrect anyone.

Really, if you are dead, you shouldn't lose any more body. 

Got it. Thanks. 

Specially, what level of transform? I've got it down to Minor and Major, but I cannot decide which. 

That was also my first thought, but won't it require the tracked character actively trying to conceal their trail? It seems to me that there is a distinction between actively hiding your tracks (Tracking Skill) and the environment making it harder for someone to be tracked (Change Environment). Or am I just reading too much into the descriptions in the books?

Actually, no. The Tracking skill is used for people who know how to cover tracks. The "actively trying to cover" is more SFX.

Really, it is just more like a Skill vs Skill contest. Tracking vs Tracking. 

For a weird conspiracy game I may or may not run in the near future (circumstances pending), I am wanting to make the memory wiper from the MIB series. Any idea how to do this?

DT's nickname is Salogel. One time he tried to shoot the ground and ended up hitting an electrical outlet, thus electrocuting himself and turning him into his profile pic.

 

OOC: I hope someone catches the reference I made here.

DT has truly has had 18 lifetimes, absorbing the soul of the next body he chooses to embody. He retains the memories of the new person and his old memories. Makes for some pretty awkward situations.

L Marcus is a carrier of a condition known as selective vision. It eventually leads to blindness. The worst part is that it spreads like a virus. Blind people spreading.a virus? Disaster.

Bazza's dream in life involves a crab, a genetically modified tree that speaks, a wok, and a lollipop. Take it where your heart desires.

One of the best things I have done with Longevity (especially Immortality) is that I can use previous PCs as NPCs in later games, except much more powerful. Many of my players liked that. They consider it like this: I really like this character. Do I want to make him immortal so that I can use him or he appears again? Investment is the name of the game involving Longevity.

You are correct. Buying shapeshift for the Hearing Group allows for the copying of a voice. Seeing that you have Sight as well, the only thing you need skill wise is Acting.

 

A: When they said "Superman", they weren't kidding, if you know what I mean....

Q: So you are telling me that man is smart, strong, and a linguist?

 

A: Several sources have confirmed this.

Sorta rethinking this. My main objective was to create a character who, despite being blind, was completely able to sense fully his environment around him, colors, letters, everything. I'm thinking to just put that as SFX and remove these modifiers.

Going along with the rule that STUN can be used as END, my question is: Does using a Drain END that pulls END into the negative have an effect on STUN?

In the attached, I want a power from it. (0:17-0:20 is the duration) I have no idea on how to make this. Any suggestions?

I'm building a blind character for a Champions game. To replace his lack of sight, I bought touch group with the modifiers in the title. My question is: What exactly would you allow this character to "see"?
