Re: Jab’s Power Profiles: Regeneration! Healing! Immunity!

I think both Steve Kenson and the current line editor Alex Thomas are looking at ways to make Impervious work more like it does in comics. All my best. Are they working on a sequel book or a brand-new edition? The M&M Monday livecasts seem to be indicating that the Valiant tie-in is where they'...

Re: Constructs and the Awareness attribute

There are other weird side effects. Per default rules, in order to have a Sta of 0 you also need to have at a 0 either (Int and Pre) for a mindless robot/zombie/etc (Str and Agi) for a bodiless program/soul You're mistaken. The Construct archetype in the main rulebook has non-Stamina, and has all f...

Re: Jab’s Power Profiles: Elongation! Luck Control! Regeneration!

I had to check to see whether or not I contradicted that, lol. I did not, at least- I specified that one required rest and that one happened during rounds. Though the book itself doesn't really mention that it happens during combat, either- it says "per minute" then goes on to include how...

Re: Jab’s Power Profiles: Elongation! Luck Control! Regeneration!

Normally, recovery requires rest. Regeneration 1 gives you normal recovery without rest (and if you are resting, doubles your rate of recovery). So you can keep fighting those 10 rounds, and still heal 1. Also, the first rank of Regeneration on a Construct is meant to bring them to normal healing (r...

Re: Constructs and the Awareness attribute

This was a point of confusion for those of us who wrote up the earliest 3e characters for the DC Adventures books; did being immune to Fort effects automatically confer the whole Life Support powers complement (immune to environmental effects, imaging, etc), or not? the final ruling was yes, but no...

Re: Jab’s Power Profiles: Mimic! Shapeshift! Summon!

FWIW, the Variable Type version of Duplication is fairly common for the "summon multiversal versions of yourself" version of the power, or maybe even the "summon versions of yourself from different points in time", although often the variation is small enough as to not require th...

Re: Constructs and the Awareness attribute

I have my doubts on that solution. As per the book: Awareness: Anything with no Awareness is completely unaware and also has no Presence. It is an inanimate object, not a creature. Objects are immune to mental effects and interaction skills, and have no defenses apart from Toughness (and Fortitude, ...

Re: Jab’s Power Profiles: Shrinking! Morph! Variable!

I've played two Shapeshift characters. One was simply Changeling, from the Alterni-Teens, brought up another PL or two for being ready to graduate. The other was more of an alien blob creature, who had more base capabilities and a smaller Shapeshift ability to handle odds and ends. It is so extremel...

Re: Superhero Literature

Recently read my way through the Emily Monroe is Not The Chosen One series . It's fun. The basic idea behind it is that the main character, Emily, is a burger waitress who has an unfortunate resemblance to the town premier super heroin, aka The Chosen One. Thus, she's always fighting off supervillai...

Re: Jab’s Power Profiles: Shrinking! Morph! Variable!

Under other methods for having a variety of powers, I do miss one of the ones from second edition Ultimate Power, I think entitled something like Power Battery, which basically gave you a dynamic array, but one that could only be used to improve existing powers. As written, it was almost a gimme to ...

{nods} Or Power Stunt, although the latter requires either copious Hero Points or an opportunity to rest and reduce levels of Fatigue.

Re: Jab’s Power Profiles: Feature! Growth! Shrinking!

I feel like there is also some place for a discount on what's essentially Linked on a bunch of no-action (because they're just changing who you are) powers. So, like, Growth, you can't just choose to get the height, or just the Strength. Admittedly, it's usually only a matter of Complications (too b...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Chun-Li! Kimberly! E. Honda! Juri! Dhalsim!)

I always liked Dhalsim as a kid, but I think it's partly because I liked the idea of striking from across the screen, and he was one of the first characters where I figured out how to do a move (his Yoga Fire), although I think I had a few extra steps to performing it that weren't necessary. I'm gue...

Re: Jab’s Power Profiles: Insubstantial! Feature! Growth!

I personally think that the boost to Reach should match the increase in height, which fits a bit closer to Elongation, FWIW. I do still miss the built-in mechanics for Area attacks when size amounts were much different, but that's not hard to add in as Stunts, AEs, or Complications. And it could be ...
