[OOC] M&M 2nd: Gotham Squires

[Walking Dad]

Please don't forget about my character's review of powers. I'm still a little unsure of the set up.

Oops Will do it tomorrow, it is late here.

 

[Voda Vosa]

Still don't get your skills. Maybe another player can help me, if it is right and I'm wrong.

Drawbacks:
Shield is a sustained power, so it is noticiable by default.
Please explain how the character qualifies for the Normal Identity drawback.

Background is now fine and compatible with the adventure.

Uhm, I think I added a couple more ranks than I should. Try now.

Then I'll add it to protection.

The last is easy, if he is private from his devices he is striped from all his special powers.

You still have 0.5 PP / 2 PS to much.

You have it already added to protection.

Not having your devices makes you powerless is part of the Device container. It isn't enough for normal identity. Maybe we could make a bad reputation drawback for you.

(33) unspend (you could buy hidden weapons or a force fiels for the rider...)

Total Cost: 43 PP

Abilities 16 + Skills 16 (64 Ranks) + Feats 25 + Powers 41 + Combat 0 + Saves 15 – Drawbacks -0 = 113pp

suggested changes:
no attak focus but attack bonus +5 -> same effect
buy defense 11 -> Hits defense PL cap =22 PP

Abilities 16 + Skills 16 (64 Ranks) + Feats 15 + Powers 41 + Combat 32 + Saves 15 – Drawbacks -0 = 135pp


You don't reach your offensve caps. I suggest lowering saves and buying Feats: Attack Specialization (Plasma Control) and Attack Specialization (Unarmed)

Your character will be better at defense than toughness and your attacks more accurate than powerful.

Bad reputation? I didn't found it in the core manual. But it sounds good; or bad, depends on the view angle, heh.

I disagree with the normal reputation thing, here is the reason, copied from the core book.

I think your character isn't normal, even without the devices. With the blaster he is offensive still very capable. And the power armor takes some time to put on, your belt and weapon doesn't.
The sample gadgeteer in the core book lacks the drawback, too. (The battlesuit character has it.)

 

[Voda Vosa]

He is just a very smart guy. I can argue that anyone with one feat has the same attack bonus with the blaster. They are gloves, both devices, and I could rule that they take some calibration time before being operative each time you equip them.
Or you could gift me with extra 4 points =P

 

[Herobizkit]

I'm afraid you lost me on the math, Walking Dad... :X

For old tomes sake . But the gloves are clunky and obvious (strange control lights, slightly humming) and take a full round to equip.

I really start to dislike the normal identity drawback. You could make a Batman guy, give him one super-sense and the normal identity drawback for net -3 points.
