Duplication and Equipment

[BaHalus]

How can we make a character that duplicates his own clothes and equipment without it being signature gear?

Duplication has a +100% enhancement to duplicate Signature Gear and that is it.

The guy will need to have signature gear clothes and use always the same clothes to avoid generating naked copies?

Couldn't it simply be a Can carry objects like in other advantages? But compared to the +100% for signature gear, the usual values of "Can Carry Objects" seems too cheap.

Maybe I should simply put a Cosmic +50% to use Can Carry Objects with Duplication?

(BTW, wouldn't be better if the signature gear were simply bought one time for each copy, or received some kind of +80% or +100% 'per copy' enhancement on signature gear?)

Link it to a suitably limited Snatcher.

The issue is that you can outfit yourself with the best and then clone it when you clone the rest. I'd probably borrow Equipment from Patron to determine cost.

Let's try getting a Patron with unusual availability who provides equipment with a small Limitation for "Only duplicates of existing equipment".

Of course if you do this the duplicates vanish but their euipment doesn't.

It'd be so much simpler to use the Enhancemnt from Powers.

No, I mean literally adding the +50% modifier from Patron so your dupes can carry up to Campaign Wealth in gear or +100% if it can exceed it. It would vanish when the dupe does. Otherwise it's too cheap. It's still probably too cheap at 35 points to replicate any and all gear. That's the same cost as Signature Gear and I can wreck a game faster with the former than the latter.

Maybe taking the +100% of signature gear +50% cosmic (not only signature gear)? With the Can Carry Objects on top of that to limit how much is duplicated?

There is something anywhere allowing non naked dupes without requiring signature gear clothes?

Either link it to Snatcher or up the Cosmic to +300%. It really is that good.

I don't think there's anything requiring dupes to be literally naked. In many genres the basic genre assumptions would prevent this if nothing else did.

You start getting into Signature Gear territory when you get to armor and weapons. Or at least maybe "adventure stuff" like climbing gear but "Dupes appear with normal clothing and 2 breath mints in their pockets" isn't even a Perk.
