Full Super ST is objectively inferior to normal ST until you reach level 7.

To be fair, it's not actually a racial template. It's a family/ancestry template, so I don't think it's unreasonable to include social advantages.

With the Accessibility, it is also much cheaper, 80 CP instead of 152 CP. I would actually do Flight with hovering and leave off Clinging, as it would cost 10 CP less and effectively function the same way.

You have quite a talent for point-juggling.

I disagree with that, as every single individual with this template will have the Independent Income.

Generally, you're not supposed to take limitations on disadvantages this way. It gives a disproportionate amount of points for its value. The suggested method is to take the disadvantage at full cost, add "No X" limited with your chosen limitation, and use the difference between the two costs to figure out what it should be worth.

A possibly better (and cheaper) version of the Von Fangula Family Template would be the following:

Von Fangula Family Template [150]

Attribute Modifiers: ST+2 [20]; HT+2 [20]

Secondary Attribute Modifiers: Per+4 [20]

Advantages: Combat Reflexes [15]; Dark Vision (Accessibility, Night Only, -20%: Color Vision, +20%) [25]; Extended Lifespan 2 [4]; Flight (Accessibility, Night Only) [32]; Lifting ST+10 (Accessibility, Night Only, -20%) [24]; Regeneration (Regular; Accessibility, Night Only, -20%) [20]; Sharp Claws (Switchable, +10%; Temporary Disadvantage, Ham-Fisted 2, -10%) [5]; Sharp Teeth (Switchable, +10%; Temporary Disadvantage, Stuttering, -10%) [1]; Striking ST+10 (Accessibility, Night Only, -20%) [40]

Perks: Deep Sleeper [1]

Disadvantages: Appearance (Ugly) [-8]; Bad Sight (Nearsighted; Accessibility, Day Only) [-20]; Colorblindness (Accessibility, Day Only) [-8]; Lunacy [-10]; Restricted Diet (Carnivore) [-10]; Unusual Biochemistry [-5]; Weakness (Sunlight; 1d per 5 minutes; FP Damage, -50%) [-15]

Quirks: Distinctive Features (Albino) [-1]

Notes: Members of the Family usually also have Independent Income 5, Status 1, Wealth (Filthy Rich), and Enemy (Vampire Wannabees, Watchers, 9-), for a total of +50 CP.

Oh yeah, Toast Knight would fit right into the Silver Age.

How did you figure out that limitation on Dark Vision? It seems high, considering Dark Vision is already mainly useful at night.

A -20% Accessibility limitation means an ability is usable 50% of the time. I don't think it's unreasonable in this case, since it means that during daytime, their Dark Vision doesn't even work on indoor or super-generated darkness.

Which does not apply to using Dark Vision in the day. Basically it only applies when you are in an unlit underground area during the day (or facing a darkness generating opponent). How often does that happen?

It also works anytime you’re in a building with insufficient windows/artificial lighting to give a +0 to vision. Or outside on a particularly overcast day. Or underwater.

Granted, in most of those it’s only a fraction of Dark Vision’s worth you’d be missing out on, so the GM can be justified changing the Limitation to -15% or maybe even -10%, but I don’t think anything will really break if you leave it at -20%.

I'd probably find the IC explanation for this one entertaining...
