[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 7034434, member: 4936"] I suggest, as an alternate way to represent your alternate abilities, use an alternate form container? So you'd have [B]Battlesuit (Removable)[/B] Growth 6 7pp -Permanent, Innate, removable Density Increase 4 5pp -Permanent, Innate, removable [I]== Note - I don't know what 'density' is as a power. It's not on the SRD that I saw. I assume it just adds to Str and Stamina, while imposing some kind of weight-related disadvantage that makes it cheaper than just buying more ranks in attributes?[/I] Impervious Toughness 11 10pp Speed +1, 1pp Magic Array - Blast - Create - Healing Then you have: [B]Alternate Form: Not In Suit[/B] Enhanced Attributes: - Dexterity 2, 4pp [I](this is necessary because it's hard to have a power reduce an attribute. Instead buy it as the lowest form, then increase it for the out of suit form)[/I] - Agility 4, 8pp And note that the Alternate Form replaces your battlesuit powers...as a result, it costs you only 1pp per ability in it, as long as its total value doesn't exceed the total value of the battlesuit powers. It's basically just a more readable way to say they're in an array with the battlesuit powers. This does effectively reduce your total character point rating by a LOT when you're not in your suit...but that's how most battlesuits work, so its coo'. Some of your powers are of course, universal...applying equally when inside the suit and when outside. These include: Speed 3, 3pp Quickness (etc) Jumping Senses And all that. I'll leave the point tally between you and GK. :) [/QUOTE]
