In what way is that less useful? The Unkilliable guy is out of the fight, and possibly taken prisoner or finished off (which they can be with Unkillable 1) and the shapeshifter can get back up and get back into the action unharmed. |

Re: [Powers] Triggering Alternate Form Upon "Death"
Wondering if there are any thoughts on these...

Re: [Powers] Triggering Alternate Form Upon "Death"
1: Each form heals at it's own rate.
2: Only the original form needs unkillable, as that is the form that won't die. 3: A penalized Will roll to leave the form early sounds like a Nuisance Effect to me. 4: For this I'd use "Takes Recharge, 1 Hour" |

In other words, if he's say a human who gains a power which turns him into a reincarnation of Mercury upon failing a HT roll, he's truly Mercury and when/if he dies as Mercury he's dead and never turns back to the human he used to be. This is pretty much why I personally don't consider Unkillable to be a required part of the build, since the character is normally killable. I think there was a version of Thor who had a human form which was pretty normal and easily killable, but killing it would just trigger the base Thor form to emerge alive and thundering, all things considered I wouldn't call that Unkillable, Extra Life, or Duplication, but I suppose I could be talked into adding another enhancement to the Morph, though again I'm not sure it really needs it... |

In that situation it's almost as a version of morph with single instance Duplication where the Duplicate has a different form and can die. |
