Interplanar Abilities
There are a number of advantages that would be extra useful if they worked across planes of existence. With Infinite Worlds being the standard setting now, I assumed I'd find appropriate enhancements to get that effect, but they don't seem to be there.
(Using the term plane rather broadly here, meaning it to include alternate dimensions, parallel worlds and other popular paradigms as well, though specifically not any interpenetrating planes, for which you'd use Affect Insubstantial.) So what would be an appropriate cost to make such an advantage interplanar? I'm specifically interested in the following advantages, though a more general approach would be nice: Malediction (enhancement) - The penalties would ofc be dependent on the specific planar cosmology. Still, how many % are we looking at here? 300%? 450%? Also, can you use Malediction on an advantage you've just applied Ranged to? Affliction - Just using the new Malediction enhancement ofc. Clairsentience - To scry into other planes. Detect - To detect stuff in other planes. Mind Control, Mind Probe, and Mind Reading - You might use them on people seen through interplanar Clairsentience. Mindlink - I think I'd just use +50% Cosmic to make this interplanar. Telecommunication - A very important one to make interplanar societies function. So, does anyone have suggested enhancement values for these? Is the lack of interplanarity perhaps intentional and are interplanar abilities considered just too powerful? Will it be handled in Powers? |

Telecommunication (trans-planar) is not nessary for a trans-planar socitiry, mearly the ability to travel trans-planar, as communcations can be dealt with viaa courior system (an trans-planer pony express if you would) |

Re: Interplanar Abilities
I can see the advantage for a Multiplanar enhancement to those abilities, if only to better simulate "Demon Lords plotting from Hell"; the kind you see in shows where they sit on their dark thrones, watching the heroes or their own earthly minions through a magical viewing window...

Re: Interplanar Abilities
Same here.I don't have the G4 Basic Set at the computer with me,but I think that an ability that can affect any plane would require more than the base Cosmic +50% enhancement.
