Generation Legacy: Part Three

I might look at dropping the reflex save a bit to bump up your defense (dodge or base defense) if he is suppoused to have a lot of hand eye coordination, same with his attack. It doesn't have to be high, but a gifted athlete would have at least some natural talent in that area. I would rate a surfer at at least a 2-3 defense.

An 11 is pretty high for a base character's reflex, Alpha Male a PL 12 character in the Paragons book only has a reflex of 9, the PL 9 speedster in the book only has a +8 reflex save.

Fair point. He has no combat training, so I'd be doing it through feats but that's reasonable. I'm looking at having him rely on Protection and Regeneration to handle damage but yeah, he should probably have something.

It's capped, actually. I'm not sure what I was thinking. I filled in that part of the sheet a couple of days ago. It's a great place to mine points from to fill out the others.

I would just leave it as a 1pp AP as it is in UP and just say that it works. If pressed I'd go with it as an attack (reflex), and buy a few pp worth of progression to up the DC of the save.

Concealment clearly seems to be the way to do this. The issue is how big of an object can be affected - progression would be handy there if the base amount/thickness is small.

Yep, agreed. You'd only need to attack if the object was held by someone you didn't want to touch it.

Maybe have a base of a cubic foot? So 50 cubic feet at Rank 6? Not a lot, but not bad either.

Edit: oh wait, but it's at rank 2, meaning 2 cf...that's really not a lot. But I guess it's only rank 2....thoughts?

I was more interested in the British social functions than publicity really. Wondering whether it'd be possible to have that as a sub-plot, have her be invited to something back home, something she wouldn't be able to just dismiss out of hand. An invitation to a ball or some such hosted by the Queen or other major personage. I think it'd be kind of fun seeing as she isn't one for a dance, and doesn't completely fit in with that crowd. Just plot fodder.

One would assume that at some point the paparazzi would get details on most elites in the school, if not most elites globally if there are so few of us.

Agamon what do you think of this?

Baseline edited per Shal's suggestions and a little tweaking.

Looks good. Background is great. Cool and Attractive? Another one of your PCs that will need to fend off the throngs of girls. lol

Yep, making my way up there, lol.

That not only sounds like a good idea, but a great one. It sent a million ideas through my noggin...okay, a few ideas, but good ones.

This is what I'm thinking on powers.

[sblock]

Internal Shadow
Protection 3 (caps his toughness at PL) 3pp

Regeneration:
Recovery rate +6 (always makes recovery checks when his Con bonus is factored in)
*Flawed: requires sunlight. 3pp
Bruised recovery every round without rest. 3pp
Unconscious recovery every round without rest. 3pp
Injured recovery every round without rest
*Flawed: requires sunlight. 3pp

Shadow Control
Teleport 8
*Extra (accurate) 19pp
Alt power: Telekinesis 8 (perception range) 1pp
[/sblock]

The math works out on the alt power and they're thematically linked. He's using his internal shadow to teleport or he's reaching out with it to move things. Distance isn't an issue for this stuff, so perception range makes sense. That qualifies it per the alternate power description in the book...but when would he ever want to teleport while holding something with TK? I can see a few cases, but is it really much of a limit? Or is the inherent mutual exclusivity and vulnerability to nullification the entire point? Am I trying to shove alt power into the mental space meant for flaws?
