As for the Limitation, we're talking about the ability to make food out of nothing. For an adventurer that can be as useful as - if not more useful than - being able to make a weapon, unless you're in a campaign where food doesn't matter. Is there any Advantage that can't be purchased more cheaply as a spell?

Aside from the stuff UB would balance out, creating food that isn't permanent isn't in any way more useful than making weapons, tools, or pretty much any other piece of gear. Even if the food is permanent, and thus actually useful to eat (unlike tools/weapons/etc, which are useful for their intended purpose even if not permanent), I still fail to see any way it's any where near as useful as being able to pull out weapons or tools. I'd price 'Burger King food only' as a -80% limitation on Snatcher. If I need to use Permanent +300%, I'd also use multiplicative multipliers so that it isn't ridiculously overpriced. This would make the advantage cost 64 points before taking into account stuff to make the IQ roll easier or anything like that. Seems much more realistic than 200+ points just to be able to pull food out of the air. |

Re: [Crunchy] How would I make the Burger King?
And don't be surprised if that food allows the GM to hammer your character with Overweight/Fat/Very Fat or Unfit/Very Unfit or Reduced FP or...

This is awesome, thank you.

Book Response: 4e RAW is rather explicit on the subject of not telling players that their character's height/weight/lifestyle/etc means that they are fat, probably to avoid uncomfortable comparisons to the height/weight/lifestyle/etc of the players. RPG Nerd Gut-Check: WTF kind of confrontational GM do you have? It's one thing to tell players that their sheet now includes an Enemy if they aggravate the wrong NPC, and another entirely to start tagging them with new Disadvantages in response to their advantages. If anything it would be a Temp Disadvantage limitation with an unusually slow onset and recovery anyway, since the King can choose to have real food instead unless he's in a situation where he would otherwise starve. In fact scratch that, because Burger King serves salad, so he can eat healthy with the power anyway. Physical Fitness Reality-Check: I eat what some people might characterize as a lot of Whoppers, and am Skinny [-5] with average HT and Fitness [0] because I do cardio [Priceless]. Fat and calories don't harm you if you use them, the only problem is the high sodium and cholesterol unless you are also not active enough for your diet. |

Re: [Crunchy] How would I make the Burger King?
Perhaps several levels of Gizmos instead of Snatcher. It seems the cost more adequately matches the value.

Re: [Crunchy] How would I make the Burger King?
The Orange is a Hard Technique that "buys off" penalties for hiding in improbable places, and the 5 indicates 5 levels of it (thus buying off up to -5 in penalties). It's named after Solid Snake, who has a habit of sneaking around in a cardboard box that was, apparently, originally used to carry around oranges (it says "The Orange" on the side).

Re: [Crunchy] How would I make the Burger King?
Snatcher already requires gestures, btw, and he needs at least three levels of Reduced Time to produce items with the speed shown on TV.
