eyeonthemountain Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 For my new character, I wantto be able to transform people into animals, but only if htey are willing. Now soemthing like this Transform People to animals (base cose 4/rank) Extra: Continuous(lasting) +1 modifier PF: Progresssion to get it up to about 200 pounds. Drawbacks: Target must be willing to be transformed Ranks 1 Total cost 10pp Now by the rules this might be the way to work it, and the cost is pretty low, about 10 pps or so, maybe even 8 )I am away from my books now) Would this be the way to handle the guy being able to change people into animals, and would I have to worry about the growth/shrinking rules for it?

Dr Archeville Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Well, one error there is that Progression cannot be used on Transform to increase the "allowable mass" of the target: that's something only ranks can get you. To be able to affect an average adult human, you'd need Transform 8. Also, you would need to worry about Growth/Shrinking: transform cannot add points to a character, so if you Transform someone into an animal that's a size other than that size of the target, they'll need to buy some Growth or Shrinking, getting the point from it by decreasing something else. Only way around that is to get Empowerment (basically an Affects Others/Others Only Shapeshift) Linked with the Transform. Link to comment
eyeonthemountain Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 Ok, question two. Can I even have Transform 8 as a PL6 character? With the limitations above? Link to comment
Moira Morley Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Yes, but your attack bonus with it could only be +4. Link to comment
Barnum Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 A transform "attack" allows you to affect 1 creature (regardless of size) or an amount of non-living, inanimate matter based on power rank. http://www.atomicthinktank.com/viewtopi ... 548#185548 Link to comment
Dr Archeville Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 D'oh! Thanks for catching that. Link to comment
