Freedom City Campaign [M&M2] - OOC Discussion

[Shalimar]

I am sorely hoping the one-shot will be successful enough to continue past the adventure.

Even if I dont make the cut.

I'd just like to see more M&M games around.

Can he get his memory back at some point or is he a totally new person every few adventures? That could get really interesting in the Chinese sense. Are people around him used to him forgetting everything frequently?

Its a really cool concept

The Selection Criteria

I thought it would be a good idea to let you guys know what criteria I'm using to determine which characters are selected. Note that the following factors are NOT the only ones I'll use, but will be major components.

1. Creativity. More interesting and original concepts will be given weight over standard "been there, done that" character concepts.
2. Useful role in the group. Characters whose powers and abilities are useful in more situations will be given preference over "one-trick ponies".
3. Precedence. Characters finalized early will be given preference over those submitted at the last minute.

Those are the criteria, in order of importance, that I plan to use to make the decisions.

I'll decide on character selection by Saturday, Jan. 27th. All character changes need to be completed by Friday, Jan. 26th.

Are you (or anyone else) going to check over submissions for correctness before this point. Or are "all changes" just any actual concept/design changes rather than math?

I'm not going to nitpick, but yes, I'll be checking the math. You would probably be more likely to get chosen if I have to do less math to check your character (including point totals, subtotals, etc is a plus).

I could double check your math if you want, I'm fairly familiar with the rules but thats up to you. I would be grateful if some one did the same for my math, I used the Simpson Spreadsheet to build the character but it never hurts to double check.

Insight, you said this was Freedom City, but does that include the standard Freedom City timeline or is it going to differ in major ways?

You appear to have slighted yourself two skill points. 4 PP spent, only 14 skill points assigned. 4+4+6 = 14 ; 4*4 = 16

Thanks, I had left out Knowledge: Pop Culture, which is her way of trying to get up to date with everything.

Ok, Peretti's done, except I might tweak him if I am allowed more extensive use of the side-effect power (Not that there are any RAW problems, but its something I would want explicit Dm approval to be comfortable with doing). For now, there is just a rebound on the strike power (i.e. I he fails to transfer the charge to someone else, he gets it instead).

Assume standard Freedom City unless otherwise directed by your doctor or Game Master.

I'm going to check my math one more time today.
If someone has the time could someone take a quick look at the "trapper gear" Device to see if I have it right? (the Restricted Power Feat applies to Device right?)

Also, the mental 'Seer' powers are visible. Is that actually a drawback? For a suite of powers that only total 8 points I don't think it's really worth a power point.

Looking forward to seeing the game even if I don't make the cut!
