EPIC M&M (OOC Thread #2)

[Calinon]

JAY and Monica are updated. Two a day on workdays, hopefully a good chunk of the others over the next few days.

 

[Calinon]

A couple more NPC's are updated. Michael (who will be changing his name to Lupus) and the highest PL of all the students, Cosmo, are updated. I'll be doing the rest of the PC's over the next few days and probably a few NPC's too.

 

[Calinon]

Five more members of the junior team to go; Amazon, Loki, Mantis, Straightjacket (and father) and Vibro. Then, on to a few villains. Nobody gets to see Split/Stryke, Prophet or Anithos... but what other villains have you run into that you'd like to see statted out?

 

[Mordane76]

Worst part about Titan's condition... I have some real-world ideas about how to treat it that a standard medicine check prolly wouldn't come up with - more like a Science (Chemistry) check...

 

[Velmont]

A tall, fairly muscular lad, Kevin is obviously the result of military training

Found that in Jay description... I think you are mixing the brothers. Take some sleep, it will help you a bit

And seeing Mia Toan stats would be interesting.

 

[Calinon]

Durn it, I was doing so well with that... I'll fix it soon.

 

[Dalamar]

Oh, and isn't Digital Hearing and Digital Viewing just ESP with the flaw Limited?

*innocent whistle*

 

[Calinon]

Yup, it's got a flaw that it can only be used where electronics are present.... which is practically everywhere... and a flaw/extra combo that allows you to use two senses applicable to electronics on a broad basis, the ability to use it to see where you are coming out of digital travel, at least as you get used to it, and of course the entire package has that wonderful extra of being able to summon physical animations of trolls. With clubs. By accident.

 

[Dalamar]

Yes, I see that. What I'm wondering is how you've costed it compared to how I'd cost it. Breakdown, your way:

Base cost 1pp
Datalink 1pp
Movement effect 1pp
Seeing 1pp
Hearing 1pp
------
Total 5pp/rank (miscalculated to 6, or troll summoning and destination seeing
 is a costed extra?)

...and my way:

Base cost 1pp
Datalink 1pp
Movement effect 1pp
ESP 1pp
------
Total 4pp/rank

Now, a direct quote from the description of the ESP power to back myself up:

You can sense distant places as if you were actually present[...]
FLAWS:
* Limited - One sense You can only extend one of your senses (usually sight or hearing) using ESP.

I won't be complaining if you say that it's a house rule that ESP affects just one sense by default, and others need to be bought as extras, that's your right as the GM. Just kind of wondering if you were reinventing the wheel with Digital Seeing and Digital hearing (and looking for a couple of more points to spare/spend)

I was looking at the different chaarcters, when I saw something. I've paid for my Radio Recieving and Broadcasting, while the others have it for free with there Epic Suit. Is there a difference between there communicator and mine? After all, I paid for mine. Just curious to know.
