But yeah, adding Magic DR would also be a good idea, letting him resist damaging spells and powers. It's in Powers, page 112 (as a variant of Requires Attribute Roll). Last edited by vierasmarius; 05-01-2012 at 09:12 AM. |

Re: Help needed with leveled powers
True on the Heliotrop part V. I don't think letting it be only defensive is necessarily a good idea... Although I actually think this is the only way it is used in the books IIRC - though not in the video games (but they do take certain liberties with the Signs). So perhaps Active Defense is the way to go.

Re: Help needed with leveled powers
Another question: Mind Control (Suggestion) doesn't specify whether the suggestion needs to made "out loud" verbally to the one your using it on. I.e. do you need to say "these are not the droids you're looking for" or can you somehow telepathically transfer the suggestions?
Reason I ask is that I'd like Axii to rely on eye-contact (sense-based) AND hearing the suggestion :) Last edited by Grunker; 05-01-2012 at 10:04 AM. |

EDIT2: Yep, just checked, and it needs Sense-Based in order to require hearing. |

Re: Help needed with leveled powers
Does Sense-based stack like this? I mean does Sense-based (hearing) and Sense-based (eye-contact) amount to -40%?

Re: Help needed with leveled powers
For Heliotrop, how do I deal with the fact that there are two advantages? Right now the power looks like this on level 1:
Magic Resistance 2, Damage Resistance 2. Enhancements: Force Field. Limitations: Active Defense, Limited (DR only works against magic). As such, the -20% for limited also reduces the cost of Magic Resistance (which it obviously shouldn't. Should I instead calculate the cost of each of the two advantages and then mash the cost together? |

Re: Help needed with leveled powers
Yeah, build them as two separate advantages. For examples of leveled powers that include multiple advantages, check out Psionic Powers. For instance, Steal Dreams includes a Fatigue attack and Mind Reading, with each level increasing the range of both.
