Ways for non-combat advantages to benefit from Cosmic

[Michael Thayne]

Wasn't there a Pyramid article with a souped-up version of Zeroed? In an issue devoted to Thaumatology, I think. Too lazy to find it now.

It doesn't forbid Deceptive Attacks, as one of the potential meanings for them is speed :)

Anyone have ideas for what Cosmic Unkillable could do? It seems like an Indestructible ability would fit a Cosmic power very well, and Unkillable 1 + no visible damage would make a good foundation for such an ability. But what would the 25 points for +50% on Unkillable 1 be doing for you? Maybe the ability would somehow be half-way between Unkillable 1 and Unkillable 2. Like, you're still not dead, but stop healing and therefore can only revive through someone else's intervention? Unkillable 2 (Cosmic, +50%) could make you completely immune to damage until you reach positive HP, similar to Unkillable 3 (but still subject to having your body imprisoned, so you might wake buried under ground, or trapped in a bank vault). And Unkillable 3 (Cosmic, +50%) could let you choose the location you coalesce in, instead of it being up to the GM. Thoughts on this?

You are aware of what is going around your body or spirit although still incapable of moving until you regain consciousness.

Cosmic UKIII may be better designed as an alternate form consisting of an indestructible, intangible spirit with Warp or something.

That sounds more like Unkillable 1, plus Unkillable 2 with a Limitation.

Unkillable 2 (Cosmic, +50%) could make you completely immune to damage until you reach positive HP, similar to Unkillable 3 (but still subject to having your body imprisoned, so you might wake buried under ground, or trapped in a bank vault).

Meh?

And Unkillable 3 (Cosmic, +50%) could let you choose the location you coalesce in, instead of it being up to the GM. Thoughts on this?

This seems good though

It was the focus of "Onomancy" in Pyramid #3/48: Secret Magic.

Or immunity to things that would kill even normal UKIII, like negated advantage afflictions of god killers, or reality quakes unwriting your powers.

I was thinking that while the proposed Cosmic doesn't look terribly unfair, you could get similar utility with a limited Warp, probably at a discount.
