MnM3 Centropolis (Re-bot)

This was for a different power. Totally unrelated. I just wanted to know if a power could be "Full round" after "standard" but M&M doesn't seem to have "full round" as a time. She's an anime Magical Girl so she has to spend (what seems like) a whole minute having the camera pan around her body while she gyrates and announces her attack before it can go off. And while that could be just a standard action, I was curious about how one would model something that takes longer to do.

I'm surprised there isn't a "requires both a standard and move action" time period in the game.

Ah now I got you, its basically the Increase Action flaw.. and while its not in the game system itself... I can almost see you taking it as "Standard and Move Action"

I was just surprised Extra Action didn't already cover it.

As GM, you can rule it in as one step past Standard Action.

I think there's guidelines given for having an 'alternate form' that you change into?

There are, Galatea had that going on. Alternate form effect, -1 point flat if it takes a move action to switch, -2 if standard.

 

[jmucchiello]

Speaking of alternate forms, does M&M have anything like Champions' "Only In Hero ID" limitation? Or is not having access to powers while in secret ID just a complication?

 

[GreenKarl]

"Only In Hero ID" is more of a Complication in M&M, although the Alternative Form can also work for that type of affect.

 

[Shayuri]

Yeah, alternate form is more of a quirk than a real limitation, unless the circumstances under which you can change form are limited, in which case it's got a bigger point break.

It's never MUCH of a point break though, because the game (logically) assumes that you'll usually be able to power up. Otherwise it would just be annoying.

Two observations so far:
1. With Miranda and possibly Galatea out, buying up some STR seems like a great idea for Shadow.
2. Between Shadow and two light-based 'casters', opponents who depend on normal sight are going to HATE this group...

My character has a Dazzle effect, too.
