Re: When to homebrew and when to use the system?

That's one of the first things to not get caught up in. Focus on the effect, not the fluff. If someone has what appears to be duplication but does not use the proper extent of what duplicates would provide then duplication might not be the right way to approach it. For instance 'making thousands of clones' ; Are they real, or just shadows (could be illusions) Can they do seprate actions or are that all linked to a single action (could be extra arms with range, with the bodies being special effects) Do they have noncombat uses (if no then a special effect on an innate attack may be applicable) Is there some way to identify the 'real' pc (if so then duplication will likely not apply at all). I would expect someone who can make thousands of course if themselves to be able to accomplish essentially any task, with just light carpentry skills they should be able to almost instantly erect massive structures and build bridges, read thousands of books simultaneously clean their house in seconds (or just build a new one when the existing one gets dirty). Via the grappkibg rules they should be unbeatable in combat against any foe they actually can damage or hold. If that's not this power I don't think it's duplication.
