Appropriate Accessability Mod...
I want to put a limiter on Will for "Not against Psionics". This will be for a world with mental powers/psionics and I am the GM. The only truly significant percentages are in lumps of 20% but it could also be a -50% for "only on psis" as mentioned in the RAW. I'm tettering on the edge of going with that -50%... I was wondering what other's oppinions on this was.

Well, what's the population percentage of people with psionics? And I imagine that Will will only not be effective against telepathic abilities, not non-telepathic psi abilities. So what's the percentage of telepaths within the psi community?

I don't have it calculated that strongly... but I'm going to be mirroring Gamma World and imagine it to be rare to find a community that has mutants that doesn't have some psi where Will is used to resist it...

Re: Appropriate Accessability Mod...
Sorry, didn't mean like exact figures, just an idea. Well, if it's going to be pretty common to encounter someone who can counter the effects of the Will advantage, I'd make it somewhere between -30% to -50%, depending on exactly how common you feel it's going to be. The list of how common certain materials are for limited damage resistance might be of help. Look at the stuff in each category and decide what is most analogous to the appearance of telepaths within your world, and then use that percentage.

Re: Appropriate Accessability Mod...
Right. I'm specifically thinking of limiting the Will Disadvantage that Pure Strain Humans will have... and -40% or -50% is good, either resultes in the same effect... By default they have normal will but are not so good with resisting psionic abilities.

Couldn't you just give them Susceptible (Psionics)?

For something that works (say ...) 75% of the time, being inapplicable 25% of the time, that would read to me as [Accessibility, Only Works % of the Time]. Which is a -10% limitation described on page 99 of Powers. I'd suggest the -10% limitation value. Completely up to you though. |
