Re: The Perfect Super Tracker?
OK, its a 10000000 points game so you probably dont want to tone down, however, as a GM I doubt I would allow the ability described by Kromm...
I did some SuperTrackingTM powers a while back see: here

Re: The Perfect Super Tracker?
It depends on the flavour of the campaign, but I would say Kromm's idea is about where I was thinking if you were looking at a 1000 pt supers campaign. That's a pretty nice level for epic stuff.
If you were thinking more X-men, then you'd probably want 600-ish points.

Seriously . . . supers in comics have this level of awareness all the time. What keeps it in check is that the "GM" (writer) enforces annoying time penalties to sort through the flood of information, makes things like Mind Shield, Obscure, and Invisibility with the Cosmic enhancement common (especially in secret bases!), and has the super periodically forget to use his ability.

Certain members of the X universe are an order of magnitude more powerful than their counterparts, however.

Re: The Perfect Super Tracker?
A character with such gnostic powers would probably also have Blind Fighting 20 as well. It may be inappropriate in terms of scale, but it seems pretty cool.

He'd also probably have the whole suite of ESP psionics.

Is it the intent of the rules that you can look past known sources and look for specifics rather than "nearest significant source of the substance" without Selective Effect? |

Re: The Perfect Super Tracker?
I can't help but think what this guy would be doing with his mental capacity if he wasn't tracking every possible being through all possible eternities. Cure cancer seems like a lightweight task by comparison.

I PMed Kromm regarding Selective Effect and Analyzing, and this is what he had to say...
