As Heridfel points out, I think the confusion comes from the fact that in one place (Attack) you apparently include the size modifier, but not with Defense. When you re-edit, make sure that you are clear exactly how many ranks of Defense and Attack you are buying (2 PPs each), and what your final modifiers are (including all sources: Feats, Drawbacks, Size, etc.) True, but not all Extras are appropriate for partial purchase (like Autofire). In my opinion this is one of them. By only spending 1 PP you are essentially getting the full effect which is to bypass the inherent limitation of Resurrection, that there is one common effect that can actually kill you. But like I said, since all of these PPs are essentially "wasted"â€â€they will never see game playâ€â€it really doesn't matter how much you spend on them. As I said, I would approve Enhanced Saves, Enhanced Str, Super Strength, and Enhanced Constitution, etc. bought to Sustained duration because there is some actual Flaw imposed (as opposed to Sustained Int for example). I don't think it is much of a limitation most of the time, but it's borderline, so I approve. There just won't be that many times (if ever) when you are stunned and still need to keep exerting your strength. Though it sounds like Heridfel doesn't approve, so when when it comes time to get your second approval, you'll have to make him happy too.

I disagree. I don't think for 1 PP you should get the full benefit of the +1 Extra (nothing can kill you permanently) just a little slower (at the rate of the un-Extraed Resurrection). But I don't really care, since it is never going to come up. As I said before, you really don't need to spend any points on Resurrection. No one around here dies unless they want to. No, as I pointed out in my last post, if he only bought 4 ranks of Defense (8 PPs), then he is four points underspent. -Attack Focus (Melee) 8 = +7 Attack melee (after the penalty for being large) and +0 Ranged (-4 with his Drawback). His sword is Accurate so that accounts for the +7/+9. -Dodge Focus 1 + Defense 4 = Defense 15 So that should be:

1. It still doesn't add up. If you bought 4 ranks of Defense, that's 8 PPs. 2. Also, you need to update the totals for your Feats and the totals at the bottom of the sheet. Costs: Abilities (10) + Combat (8) + Saves (14) + Skills (10) + Feats (17) + Powers (91) - Drawbacks (04) = 146 3. True Resurrection is an extra bought on Resurrection that means that your "drowning" limitation is moot, but it will cost 6 PPs not 1. 4. I am going to approve them, but I think you will find most of our players and some of our other Refs will find the Sustained Will Save and Super Strength pretty abusive. We have denied some Sustained Traits (Dexterity, Wisdom, Intelligence, and Charisma) because that is no limitation at all. With Super Strength and a Will save, it is some limitation especially since they are in an Array, but don't be surprised if another Ref of the people you will want to play with think it's pretty cheesy . . . 'cause it is. There is nothing in your concept that warrants it. It's looks like you are just trying to find a painless way to get more for less.

Ginny will be up and at'em whenever you guys are ready. :D

Ginny laid back in the grass, but waved her arms up in the air at Catherine's comment. "I'm fine. Really. Fine." She paused and put her finger to her chin. "And I'm pretty sure the Captain said the police had been through the woods several times." Ginny let her arms flop to her sides in the grass. "I'll be up in just a minute. My head is . . . stopping with the thing . . . that it's doing."

I would agree with Heridfel on this one. Getting a massive discount because it takes 1 full-round to change from one of your forms to another is hardly worth it. In fact, if you look at some of the container-like powers (like Growth), they specifically say that changing the action is only a Drawback (see page 55 for an example).

*sighs* Yes . . . yes he does. *swoons*

Sure they are. Haven't you seen Ocean's Eleven (the remake)? :D

And just so you know, the last player who went this route took nearly two months to get approved. If you limit yourself to 6 alt forms, that's six character sheets to be audited. Just be prepared for the long audit process, if that's the way you go.

"Yeah . . . I was over there . . . and then there was this whispering in my head . . . and now I'm over . . ." Ginny clearly didn't remember getting up and walking towards the woods. "The voicesâ€â€or was it just one voiceâ€â€was like . . . yeah . . . and my head is . . . man. Weird. I need to sit down." Ginny sat down in the grass right where she stood. She was rubbing her eyes and making even less sense than usual. Whatever details were to be gleaned from the experience, they would have to come from Catherine Kato.

IIRC, no. According to UP, mental powers are a kind of "sensory" effect, and sensory effects don't need Affects Insubstantial to work on insubstantial people.

It is getting really good reviews from movie critics too. It has a 94% on the Tomatometer.

Looks good. I love his mouth.

:flash: Nah . . . just lucky! :D

Huh?

All set!

Failed Will Save . . . check. I have no idea if the shape shift/morph was continuous or not. It is isn't you can have it turn back to its original form in your next post. Anything else you need from me?

The giant insect staggered backwards and then teetered forward on its front legs before collapsing to the ground in a heap, completely unconscious.

Done.

Kudos to Griffalo (Raindance), MarkK (The Emissary), and Thevshi (Velocity) who joined the "Heroes for the Holiday" story back in October. 6 1/2 months later we just wrapped up. We had a few others come and go along the way, but those three endured until the end. Well done!

Just go ahead and write up the Sustained Protection as Force Field (since that's what it is) with the appropriate descriptors. Your other changes look fine to me. Write it all up and I'll look over it again before passing it off to a second Ref.

1. I'm not sure what's going on here. It looks like you bought 8 ranks of Attack Focus (melee) but just didn't list them as feats. Is that correct? And if you did buy 4 ranks of Defense, how did you get "15 (Flat-Footed 11)"? It should be "Defense 14 (Flat-footed 12)." Unless I'm just missing something. 2. I don't think that qualifies as a "Reasonably common effect." Electrocution does. As does drowning. I wouldn't worry about it too much. People around here don't die unless they want to anyway. 3. Visual ESP is 2 PPs per rank. 4. Since Protection is a Permanent, Passive effect with no "action," the Distracting flaw isn't really appropriate. Nor can Permanent powers be put into Arrays.

We have made a few minor changes to the staff. They are . . . 1. Veiled Malice is taking over cosmicarus' spot as our second Global Moderator, due to the excessive amount of time cos has had to be away. 2. Heritage has been promoted from Judge to Referee as he is now GMing several games on our site as well as carrying the bulk of the PP counting load. :clap:

Done.

Done.
