In that build, it is an advantage : it guarantee you will die at 0hp and regen back from death in 1 second. Death at some negative hp would only mean more time to get back. |

Here, I wanted the nice round [1000] price. UK3 and unaging are protected (and ItMH, and the payload I guess) so the essentials are safe. You may also want to add +40%, heal radiation for full effect. And some levels of temperature tolerance, forgot that one. So [1500] for cosmic protection on everything, true radiation immunity and a temperature confort zone from 0 to a few thousands degrees. Edit : modified original build A nice upgrade would be affect payload, +100% on regen, and forcefield on pressure support, radiation tolerance and temperature tolerance, to protect and repair whatever you carry. Anohhe upgrade to consider is some DR, to avoid being 1s stunned by small attacks. Last edited by Celjabba; 10-16-2019 at 06:05 AM. |

Re: Godlike Abilities [Powers]
It is still a disadvantage because the abilities can be negated by an enemy (who will gladly leave the disadvantage). For example, let us say that I use the following attack: Burning Attack 1d (Affects Insubstantial, +20%; Cosmic, Lingering Damage, +100%; Cosmic, Unremovable Cycles, +100%; Cycles, 10 10-second cycles, +450%; Malediction 3, +200%; Symptom, Disadvantage, Fragile (Unnatural), 1/2 HP, +100%; Symptom, Negate Advantage, Unkillable 3, 1/3 HP, +150%) [62]. The target cannot heal during the cycles, cannot stop the cycles, cannot heal, and permanently dies when reduced to 0 HP.

Re: Godlike Abilities [Powers]
How many instances of duplication and compartmentalized mind would qualify for this thread?
Unrelated question: How does the arms race between advantage, negate advantage, cosmic advantage, cosmic negate advantage, etc end? |

Re: Godlike Abilities [Powers]
Cosmic is a bit of an odd duck. Cosmic abilities can only be circumvented by other cosmic abilities, but there seems to be a particular order. Cosmic afflictions can neutralize cosmic advantages, because normal afflictions can neutralize normal advantages. When it comes to defenses and resistances though, cosmic defenses and resistances always beat cosmic attacks. Cosmic DR will always protect against the initial attack, even against a Cosmic Affliction or a Cosmic Innate Attack, though the effects of either may strip away Cosmic DR if the attack deals damage. Power defenses with Cosmic can also defend against Cosmic attacks that normally circumvent defenses.

Re: Godlike Abilities [Powers]
Specifically Cosmic has no tiers. You can have tiers of powers under cosmic, though. But not of cosmic. Cosmic is considered top tier of any ability. Specifically spoken in Power Ups - Enhancements, you cannot one-up each other with cosmic.
