[QUOTE="jkason, post: 5581267, member: 2710"] I used hero lab to build him, which gave me some odd values. It listed running jump as 150, with leaping as 10x jumping. I think the standing jump was 35, which would better match Jemal's calculations. I'm good with it either way. Well, I'm glad he's growing on you. :) I think he seems much more battle-y than I really intended him to be. The basic idea was a tinkerer who added limbs and legs for efficiency, because it was easier to just do everything himself than, you know, explain it to people. :) I think I may have gotten a bit spendy on the powers, really, since a lot of them I didn't need at very high levels so I had points to spare and started getting creative. ;) On the latter element, an earlier draft actually had the 'anatomic separation' power so that he could detach two of the arms for doing things remotely, but (1) the mechanics of all that started confounding me (several powers depended on his having all four arms, but I couldn't justify making the whole lot Alternate Powers and couldn't figure out how to properly limit them) and (2) Reading up on automail, I read that it's powered by the person's own nervous system, so I wasn't sure how an independent arm would work in-setting. I went with a limited "elongation" instead. I'll mull over both the above, though, and see if I come up with a workable re-draft. [/QUOTE]
