I have a concept for a character who's never been played. He's a fugitive retrieval agent for the supernatural forces of Good with a capital "G"' chasing down demons and evil souls escaped from Hell and so forth. You've probably seen one of more TV shows with the premise.

His LEP would have Cosmic (World-spanning) and Cosmic (No Resistance Roll) both on them. He'd have an I.d. card signed by the Angel of Death and being the product of a higher order of reality it would be self-evidently true and no one would ever doubt it.

Seeing it might be just barely short of requiring a Fright Check but having his office send your office a fax might be (for somebody).

Maybe. The two advantages are rather similar in practice, and both are open ended. What's the real difference from unlimited authority to search and legal immunity to breaking laws against searching people?


They do tend to have different sources though.
