Steve Jackson Games Forums - View Single Post - [Basic] Advantage of the Week (#46): Eidetic Memory, Photographic Memory

I don't think I've ever taken it. It was a bit too good in 3e, and I seem to have forgotten about it for the only 4e character I have who could justify it.

I've been fiddling with a Magic as Powers build of it that I might take on a spy character:

Memorisation: Photographic Memory, Magical -10%, Immediate Preparation Required (1 minute) -30%, Takes Recharge (1 hour) -30%, No Magical Signature, +25%, Reliable +1, +5%. [6].

Yes, this is a lot of fiddle to save points: I need to take the Magical power modifier and No Magical Signature, the Immediate Preparation and Takes Recharge are the way several of the character's powers work.
