"Resurrection Machine" Metatronic Generator
I'm working on a Metatronic Generator that can bring people back to life when a sufficient amount of their remains are put inside the Generator. As of right now, the advantage write-up for the generator is:
Affliction 1 (HT; Advantages, Regeneration (Fast; Cosmic, Works on the Dead, +50%) and Unkillable 2 (Cosmic, Works on the Dead, +50%), +2250%; Apparatus, +0%; Contact Agent, -30%; Extended Duration, x100, +80%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Melee Attack, Reach C, Cannot Parry, -35%; Only on the Dead, -15%; Superscience, -10%) [234] I have a few questions. First of all, am I correct in understanding that the advantage for this sort of Metatronic Generator is an affliction granting Regeneration and Unkillable, not the advantages themselves? Also, since the remains need to be placed inside the Generator, do you think it would be fair to give the Internal (x1/5) modifier to the affliction instead of Contact Agent? Considering I want the advantages to end as soon as the person reaches positive HP and wakes up from Unkillable, should I add a Terminal Condition limitation, or do you think Only on the Dead covers that? Finally, does the value I pegged Only on the Dead at seem fair? |

Re: "Resurrection Machine" Metatronic Generator
Powers, p.151 has Resurrection, which is similar to yours except it only uses Unkillable 1. The value for 'only on the dead' is the same, and the Powers doesn't include a terminal condition modifier, so you're good, I think.

Internal doesn't seem called for to me, but something like a normal (minor) limitation "Remains must be placed inside". YMMV :) |

Re: "Resurrection Machine" Metatronic Generator
It was still the standard in 2011 when Powers - Divine Favor was published. That work had another option for resurrection as well - one that granted the dead a use of Extra Life, paid for retroactively out of the dead person's points (free first, and then by consuming traits to pay for it).
