Magic 12 (six power feat) cost 24 PP + 5 PP for the power feat (The first power feat is coming as free with Magic, as told in the first paragraph).



I hope I have been clear for the Alternate Power Feat

Sorry I'm being so dense about this. You've laid it all out very nicely, but I'm not grasping one key point. In the astral form example, when you are accounting for your 150 PP, does that cost 31PP or 61 PP?
From what I've been able to find on ATT I'm thinking 31 is correct. I guess I'm just missing the part in the manual where they explicitly say this.

31PP. You Got 30 PP from Astral Form and 1 PP for teh Alternate Power Feat. I distinguish the two because teh APF allow you to buy powers(s) up to teh basic power cost without teh APF cost. In other word, teh APF gives you a 30PP (for this case) free to buy other powers that cannot be sue at the same time than the basic power

Thanks! That's the way it looked from other character builds, but I wasn't sure and couldn't track it down in the manual. What is your take on the combat stats part of my question?

On a different note: how are points doled out for combat? I'll use your Adam-X build for an example. He has the following stats:COMBAT: Base Attack +6, Unarmed (Attack +9 DC 23 Bruise), Sword/Ax/Spear (Attack +9 DC 26 Lethal), Shuriken (Attack +14 DC 16 Lethal Autofire 1) Defense 23 (13 flat-footed) Init +22
but it says you spent 24 points building him. Which attributes did you spend the points on and which ones got beefed up by other feats,etc.


Well in Adam's case he spent 12 points for a Base Attack of +6 and 12 points for a Defense of 16. To equal 24 points spent on Combat.

Then he Took the feats Attack Focus(Melee) of 3 ranks. Giving him an ADDITIONAL +3 to attack in ALL melee (unarmed/axes/etc) For a total of +9. Attack Specialization (Shuriken) of 4 ranks to give him an ADDITIONAL +8 to attack with ONLY shuriken for a total of +14.
He also bought Dodge Focus Feat of 7 ranks giving him a total of a 23 Defense. BUT when flat-footed you lose all dodge bonuses and HALF your base. Hence the 13 Flat-footed.
All Points spent on Feats were recorded under Feats and not combat as to be less confusing during character creation.

Hope this helps

Thanks a lot! I should be submitting my character tonight now that those issues are cleared up.

Power array questions

Is this power alright mathematically sound, or am I wasting points by having five ranks in Luck control? I would like nullify to work against anything mechanical, but to include mechanical (electrical ) devices like computers and cell phones. Does that push it to 2PP/rank? Almost there with the character submission, crashed early last night and was a little lazy tonight.

Luck Control 5 (PF: Subtle 2) (PF:3 AP) PP20
--AP: Dazzle (1 pp/rank, visual only) 18 (PF: Subtle 2) 20 PP free
--AP: Nullify 18 (1pp/rank, mechanical devices only) (PF: Subtle 2) 20 PP free
--AP: Trip 9 (2pp/rank, PF: Subtle 2; Extra: Range (perception) +1) 20 PP free

H4H: How's that adventure coming along? (not trying to harrass, just wondering if you're still working on it)

Interesting alternate powers. Indeed, I can understand that.

Luck is only as good as your ability to use it. So you will probably want to take the luck feat 5 times among other things.

Careful of your PL Caps so you dont buy "useless" ranks of a Power.

As for an adventure. I have plenty "off-the-rack" as it were. They will be ready when I am.
It's just a comfort level thing. I just started one From the Ashes, and am still technically recruiting in another Avengers Franchised. Once those two are in full swing I am sure I will step up for LS.

First, I don't have my book, but I already see a mistake:

Dazzle(Visual) cost 2 PP/rank. When a power affect a sense, generally, visual cost as two sense. It is the case for concealment, it is the case for Dazzle. Anyway, you donT, want an attack power at rank 18. Here why:

You PL will detremine the maximum attack you can have and the maximum rank you can have in an attack power. For a PL10, you can have attack +10 (to hit) for Dazzle 10.

Now, there is a rule that allow you some flexibility. You can trade-off attack for DC of an attack. So, if you want to have Dazzle 18, it means you need to trade-off 8 from teh attack to be able to raise your dazzle by 8 (and by the same time, the DC to resist it). So at the end you'll finish with +2 attack.

Trade-off have to be accepted by the master, or in Living Super, by the character creation judge. Up to now, you have to come with a good reason to haev a high trade-off, such as +5/-5 and I doubt any character over that will be accepted.

Hmmm... I hpe I've been clear and don't heistate to ask questions.

I did take the luck although I had to shave off points elsewhere. These alternate powers were found by trolling the ATT for the topic. One useful thread H4H had commented to. Dalamar, who plays in the LEW section, also suggested something similar in reply to a post I put on the board asking for help with the array. Do you think nullify mechanical only would rank out as 1 PP/rank? If so, I could bring the power within PL limits by adding an extra.

You are a busy man. Where are you playing the other two games? What other off the rack adventures do you have (I'm thinking of buying "a Family matter" for MM2e)?

Velmont- Dazzle can be only one point if it only affects one sense, but there are some things I can do here with adding an extra that could easily bring it down to 9 ranks. Any hints on which extra would be very helpful. Your almost always clear in your explanations, I was just being a bonehead last time. This dazzle is kind of the something got in your eye and threw off your aim thing.

Thanks for all the comments guys, a few more tweaks and the character judges should get something pretty polished.

Read carefully. I've design a dazzler lately; Visiual sense always cost twice the other senses. Think of it what the effect to make someone deaf or blind. Human rely a lot on sight. So having sight cost double make a lot of sense.

For a good extra, there is none that come to me like that, but tonight I might give you some idea.

Thanks Velmont. Apparently, I saw what I wanted to see and didn't bother to read the rest of the paragraph. 2 PP/rank is fine with me (I guess it doesn't matter since those are the rules ). I'll probably post the unapproved character tonight after I send it to the character judges (just have to work out DC modifiers for combat). At least that's my goal. Used a character creation program from ATT to "draw" the character. Not exactly the way I envisioned the character, but not bad (beats me drawing a stick figure and scanning it in).

I doubt it too since we ruled +5/-5 was the biggest allowable tradeoff.

finally posted gremlin in character thread

I haven't sent him into the character judge yet so if anyone has any comments on what you see as big character creation flaws or mistakes I'd appreciate it. I wasn't too confident with the ranged attack stuff so give a sharp eye to that section. I'm sure Bront will appreciate it when he has to take the character through the approval process. I posted a picture of him in his civvies (hair's a little much of a mullet for me), but you get the idea. Also posted a picture of Peter Dinklage in Elf. I used PD's height for judging how tall to make him, plus he's a great actor. I also like how in his role in Elf he's got a little of a fiery temper. I wanted Gremlin to be feisty, but not quite that crazy. I noticed there are quite a few formatting errors I need to edit. For right now I just wanted to get him out there. Thank in advance for any input you might give.

My "Off the rack" adventures are the culmination of the adventures I've written, used or modified during my 20+ years of playing supers games. I got many old yellowed notebooks I can just crack and find something.

Bront- have you seen this?, i guess great minds think alike http://www.atomicthinktank.com/viewtopic.php?t=15605

Somehow I don't think anyone will be rolling up a character based on my Gremlin "artwork"

H4H-I'm hoping to benefit from that 20+ years of experience

I did buy A Matter of Family and Superline issue 3. Hopefully I can get something going soon. Who do I send proposals to? I have that one free downloaded vignette I'd like to try. Its supposed to be a single nights adventure, so ... maybe a month PBP? i'm guessing it will be approved since it's a prefab job. It would clear the ready lounge for a bit, and I'd learn a lot.

Interesting.

Actualy, DMAC did the artwork for me on a request. Gun Monkey has been a character I've had in mind (based off of a friend's idea) for a long time (3+years).

Just a note to tell I'll be leaving tomorrow until April 17th. Bront, feel free to roleplay my characters.

By the way, Salix. Go for your adventure. It will be fine. I,ll judge it once I'll be back but you can start your recruitment now without much problem.

I know for Salix, just giving the green light for his adventure as soon as he come back. Most likely he will reappear before me, and an adventure can run without his judge for a week, even more if it is the recruitment that is run during that time.

Salix,
When do you plan on starting a new thread for your adventure?

Lesse a Quick head count of the Ready Room

Hellzon/Toad
Erekose13/Body&Spirit
Bront/Gun Monkey

Velmont is GMing so we wont count him

I am on my way. So that is 4 PCs?

Rybaer still has Pandora in the buildiing <<shrugs>>

I guess it might be wise to hold off to see what interest there is.
I didnt realize we had so few. After months of people coming and going I lost count.

Yikes, I thought we had more? I was counting Velmont and Rybaer in my subconscious head count, though.

The adventure can be easily tailored to the number of characters who want to play. I'll have people enter the breifing room in the ready lounge. When we get enough to go I'll start a thread. I'm thinking I'll start the thread by Monday (posting is usually pretty slow over the weekends). Until then PCs should enter the breifing room and hang out. There will be someone waiting for them in there.

Approved and not in an adventure...

Bront - Gun Monkey, Psyren
Erekose13 - Body and Spirit
Hellzon - Toad
hero4hire - Roughneck
Kylara - Kunoichi
Rybaer - Pandora
Velmont - Sergeant

Now, if Velmont is judging, he's not able to play, though I think Keia said he could judge.

Feel free to start the new thread now, we can do the hang out thing. Make sure you timestamp the adventure for the timeline (Should be dated within a week of the start date, basicly you get some leway). Send me any notable events for the timeline once the adventure is done. Time is odd till you get in a mission, and then it flows as the GM wishes.

Hey Salix -

I saw the posts for your new scenario and would be happy to play Pandora in it. I just wanted to see how rigid you were with the "post at least once a day" philosophy. I've been lucky the last week or two in that I've actually had time to check the boards each day, but in the normal course of things every other day is more realistic for me...especially with my laptop now going on the fritz. I just don't want to slow down a story if you're hoping for something that's very fast-paced.

Will wait for a reply before I post for Pandora.

Your questions answered

Rybear,
Once every two days is fine for me. I would rather have people having fun than waiting in the HQ. This one will be action oriented, so some characters might leapfrog you in terms of action since you are dealing with a lot of "bugbots", and will possibly be in encounters by yourself. Of course when it comes to playing, and we are in a group action, we will be waiting for your character to make decisions (not so big of a deal if QYB is any example). The bottom line is that you are welcome to join in on the action. This will be my inaugural run as a GM (so be gentle), but I think we will all have a lot of fun. I would like to get this adventure out of the way though, because I'm ambitious and have another one waiting after this tune-up. I think H4H will have an adventure ready to go pretty soon also. My next one will include a little investigation along with the usual superhuman action so I'd like to get my feet wet here first.

H4H- Mixed PL doesn't seem to be a big deal for me. We are going in as a team. It makes sense to have characters of different PL in the game. Besides, Roughneck is the closest thing to a brick in LS as far as approved characters go. I'm sure he'll be kicking butt and taking names. . Also, every published team has a few characters that are a little weaker, and it's not a big deal in those stories. If we had a PL12-14 around that might make a difference because the challenges would have to be tougher.

I have been writing the briefing room "cut scene" and I'm pretty excited to get this one underway.

Bront- I'm hoping to finetune Gremlin as per our conversation and send him your way by the end of tonight. I thought the timeline would start on this one while the other team is away at the Quake. Seems like disaster strikes in batches in the real world also. This gives me an easy way of writing out Velmont who has offered to Judge. Also, where do I find the info on how fast the Resolute jets can fly. Philly (of which I know nothing about, if there are locals around who object to that knickname let me know, although I've been know to say Frisco just to stir up the California natives here) is only 47 driving mile away.

I think it uses the standard jet listing in the book, which is around 500 MPH (just short of supersonic).

As for the timeline, things picking up slowly works fine, since eventualy we hope to have several adventures at once, so there should be a fairly full timeline. If you need it too happen around that time, fine, but if it doesn't realy matter, just start it around now. As for Velmont, this is a beuracracy
