[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 3690037, member: 4936"] And here's Facade! I'm not quite as sure about this build...the non-shapeshifting powers (particularly the huge regen) were spencier than I anticipated, so her shifting pool isn't very big. Then again, it probably doesn't have to be. Facade is not a combat character generally speaking. She has good combat stats as far as attack and defense and durability go, but not much in the way of offense. On the other hand, she's a nightmare for infiltration purposes. The protection doesn't represent armor or impossible to break skin. Rather, it represents the amount of damage her body can -instantly- regenerate, as well as a body that has no vital points that can't be made redundant at a moment's notice and thus a great deal of resistance to blows that would normally be devastating (head hits, chest/heart hits, etc). See also her immunity to crits. :) [sblock=Facade]CODENAME Facade Concept/Archetype: Shapeshifter Power Level: 11 Power Points: 180 Experience Points: Hero Points: 1 ABILITIES 25 STR 10 +0 (0 PP) DEX 10 +0 (0 PP) CON 11 +0 (1 PP) INT 16 +3 (6 PP) WIS 18 +3 (8 PP) CHA 20 +5 (10 PP) SAVES 10 TOUG +11 (0 Con + + 2 Feat + 9 Power) FORT +4 (4 Base + 0 Con) (4 PP) REF +3 (3 Base + 0 Dex) (3 PP) WILL +7 (3 Base + 4 Wis) (3 PP) COMBAT 36 INIT +4 BASE DEF +9 (18 PP) DEF 19 (10 + 9 Base) FLAT-FOOTED 14 BASE ATT +9 (18 PP) ATTACK Melee:Attack +X (DC XX SAVE, CRIT, TYPE) Ranged:Attack +X (DC XX SAVE, CRIT, RANGE, TYPE) SKILLS 44 SP (11 PP) Bluff +10 (5 ranks + 5 Cha) Diplomacy +10 (5 ranks + 5 Cha) Disguise +25 (5 ranks + 5 Cha + 15 Power) Gather Information +10 (5 ranks + 5 Cha) Intimidate +10 (5 ranks + 5 Cha) Knowledge: Streetwise +5 (2 ranks + 3 Int) Notice +10 (6 ranks + 4 Wis) Sense Motive +15 (11 ranks + 4 Wis) LANGUAGES (0 Ranks) All MOVEMENT SPEED 30/60/120 FEATS 10 Attractive 2 Defensive Roll 2 Improved Initiative 1 Quick Change 2 Distract 1 Fascinate 1 Jack of All Trades 1 POWERS Shapeshifting +4 (32pp) Comprehend (speak/understand all languages) +2 (4pp) Immunity (aging, poison, disease, critical hits, suffocation) +7 (7pp) Morph (any humanoid) +3 (6pp) Protection +9 (9pp) Regeneration (+9 recovery, recover bruise/injure/disable w/no rest, rezz in 5 min) +30 (30pp) EQUIPEMENT Equipment COST Abilities [25] Combat [34] Saves [10] Skills [10] Feats [10] Powers [88] Drawbacks [XX] Total [180] Unspent [0] NOTES Real Name: ?
