[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 5228663, member: 4936"] Excellent! That's exactly the info I needed. Thanks. :) The question of cost is a little confusing. I think, and correct me if I'm wrong, what you're offering is the chance to reduce the cost of the Serial Alter Ego to 13 from 18, and in lieu of spending those 5 points elsewhere on the character's base form, I would 'transfer' them to the value of each Ego, basically becoming a 40 point base character, who has 50 point Alter Egos. If that's the case, then I have a few more questions. :) 1) How does the Strike power interact with strength? For example, you list it doing 'either' the Str damage, OR the damage of the Strike power, while the Bludgeoning Strike only does Str damage...does this mean an 'unarmed' strike does less than Str damage? Is there a reason to buy more than 1 rank in Strike (unless it's edged and you want to do more than Str damage)? 2) How does a 'bonus power' work? If I take 3 levels of Supersense, for 3 points, then buy Detect as a bonus power, does that mean I get 3 levels of Detect for 1 point? Or 1 level? Or is that not how it works at all? 3) If I buy a Blast with the Explosive rider, does that cost 1 point, or 1 point -per level-? Does it have to be a separate power from a Blast that's not explosive (say, a machine gun and missile launcher)? 4) If I go with the Serial Alter Egos, I ever get other powers via exp, or is that it forever? v As for the rest: I think it makes sense that at the very least we'd know OF each other. I suspect my character may be trying to keep a low profile, at peast publically, of his 'real' identity. He's not Tony Stark. :) [/QUOTE]
