Re: Shadow Soul
Ah, sorry about the difficulties opening the file. I'll try to remember that in the future.
To answer what's been posted:
Yes the Everyman discount is a house rule, a small discount in cost if the skill is from the Everyman list for the campaign. The Everyman discount is a -1 to the cost of the skill. I will try to make sure I specifically note things like that in the future.
I have talked a bit to the GM, but we both have been rather busy and I am currently studying in another country so finding time for a discussion is a bit more difficult. What he has told me seems to mirror what has been said here. He would probably need to be able to act more directly to be effective in the campaign as a PC. Perhaps more to the point it would likely be overlapping too much into the other PC's shticks, something I know Manic has been trying to avoid.
I had not considered doing it as a transform. I will have to ask Manic when I get the chance. As for spotlights, I wanted to specifically avoid him being able to do this to big, bright lights. Part of the character's disads center around problems with bright light so I tried to keep that as a significant problem even at night.
I had intended the extra presence to be used for presence attacks against opponents using the images abilities.
Thanks for the advice on the skills. The Skill Levels are intended to go with the all the skills in the same list. It helps me keep track of what goes where to break it up that way. I will have to be more careful about that in the future.
And thank you kindly sir for the rep. It has been a very educational and enjoyable experience learning about the Hero System from Manic.
