Transformer Racial template question
My google-fu has failed me for a problem that others have probably come across:
One of my players wants to be a transformer who transforms into a car which I whipped out at a whopping 287 points (and I invite anyone to critique it and I invite anyone to critique it). I also need to build another racial template for the robot part of his race - but this has alternate form in it. If the robot form comes up under 287 points, Alternate Form costs him 273 points. If the robot form costs more, then Alternate Form costs 15 points. But if the robot form before alternate form is X points, and X>287, then the robot form costs X+273 which is likely greater than 287. Which way does this swing? |

You probably don't need the Innate Attack; when the car hits someone, use the rules for slams, when you run them over, use the rules for trampling. I don't think you need Universal Digestion if the car just runs on gasoline. You'd only need that if the car could run on a broad range of chemicals. |

Only later does he ad the "runs on trash" but its' only biological stuff like banana peels and so on. But OK, I guess that too warrants Universal Digestion. Although one could argue Cast Iron Stomach is enough. |

Re: Transformer Racial template question
I'd require Universal Digestion, if only because he is getting so much energy out of that trash that goes into Mr. Fusion (1.21 Gigawatts!).

Re: Transformer Racial template question
Except that is momentary output not a unit of energy. Universal digestion means that it could be powered by anything from banana peels to paper to peanut shells.

One wonders if the movies had been released around now, with the high cost of gasoline, whether the old Doc wouldn't have rectified that as a priority...

Re: Transformer Racial template question
Mr. Fusion runs on hydrogen. Just lots of stuff have water in them so not quite universal, it would have problems with coal probably but anything organic probably has enough water.
