Teddy Bear Racial Template

[Christopher R. Rice]

Yeah, I know. This is a weird question, but one of the supers in my Aeon A-Team has the ability to animate things and she bought an Ally that's essentially a permanently animated teddy bear. I got done what it's other abilities are (though if you think of a cool superpower for a teddy bear to have by all means post it!). but what would its racial template look like?

Any help would be most appreciated.

Homogenous (For obvious reasons)
DR 10 (Crushing only, as teddy bears are soft)
SM-4 (For a bear around 10"-17" tall. Of course there are bears up to SM+0 or more during Valentine's Day sales)
Pitiable (It's a teddy bear)
Fur (It's a teddy bear)

A teddy bear could also have Catfall (though I suppose its bounciness is already shown by the DR)...

How powerful is this intended to be? Because that'll affect what supernatural abilities it could have.

[Tallor]

As a special ability, I'm thinking Regrowth (Attachment Only, -50%), since its body is modular enough to allow its limbs to be reattached. If that's too harsh, the even-better Regrowth (Attachment, +50%) would allow regeneration of limbs, but teddy bear-like repairs.

A super power could be a Malediction that transports the mind of the target to the fantastical world of the childhood where all kinds of wonderful talking/animated things are possible. In game terms the victim could be dazzled or fascinated if he loses a contested Will roll.

Other mind tricks could be possible. For example a Buff to increase the Will of his allies against fear (either normal or supernatural).

The Source could be Hope or Innocence!

You could always add Payload and fill it with useful stuff like bombs or diamonds...

I would sooner go with IT: Damage Reduction (Crushing Only).

These are good. Thanks!

I like both of these really.

Payload works.

Yeah, I think I'll do this.

In should also have Immunity to Metabolic Hazards, Injury Tolarance (No Blood) Doesn't Breath, Pressure Support 3, Sealed, and Vaccum Support

Also Doesn't Eat or Drink should be on the template as well.

To balance this out, I can see a serious ST penalty; all that fluff with no endoskeleton or exoskeleton is going to result in a teddy bear that can't lift much and hits like a pillow.

I'd say no to Pressure Support, Sealed, and Vacuum Support. It may be inanimate, but it would still get squished in high pressure or poofed in space.

And for Sealed well... teddy bears do absorb a lot of things over time.
