Zero Divide (OOC Discussion)

Umm, there's no written limit in the rulebook. I'd imagine there's some practical limit, but I don't have a clue. Your call.

I guess we will play it by ear for now, they won't be that far apart... at least for now.

Plus being secret agent man is interesting, since Michael gets two sides of the story.

I think it's probably reasonable that it work to a PL distance, since that's how everything else works in M&M. At Extended that would still give him a 5 mile radius to work with, and given that we're apparently in some sort of campaign where space travel will be possible that means at higher levels he'd have a chance to party on two different planets.

So the question is if we use the PL which seems the cleanest method does he lose contact and if so I assume the duplicate ceases to exist?

I wouldn't put a limit on it, but if it was goig to be limited I would go with PL x5 in miles.

Well I think a limit only makes sense, the distances in this particular game will be sort of on an astronomical scale... talking billions and billions of miles and that is a short distance.

 

[James Heard]

Exactly. While the Extended Range category might be shorter right now, it's got potential to actually deliver "duplicates in separate starships" or "orbit to orbital horizon" eventually. You're not going to get that with PL x 5 miles even in the most Buck Roger'd space setting.

So what do we know, or think we know, or just assume or hypothesize now, OOC or IC or both.

All of the PCs were important colonists on Omega, where VSC and the military were trying to research the cool Precursor artifacts under the bad aliens noses. The artifact activated, giving us superpowers. Then the artifact either killed us, or some faction of aliens killed us in some clever way. Now Vanessa found a way to bring us back, and the authorities want either the information or a way to spread the superpowers.

An important question: Paragon or Renegade?

I won't lie I steal liberally and Mass Effect is excellent source material to steal.
