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.

Too much realisim spoils the soup. I like this version.

(Call it "Super-Teddy and it can make a targeted slam/flying jump kick attack against the head from the rear, a la Lynn Johnson's For Better or For Worse.) If the cape is lost during battle (it has to be completely removed; it still works if there's only a small amount left as long as it remains tied about the neck) or if the child leaves the area (generally determined by line of sight), the powers are immediately lost.

As another example, if the child placed a cowboy hat on the teddy bear's head and strapped on a toy gun belt with cap revolvers, the teddy bear would gain the Gunslinger advantage and Guns! skill. If the hat is knocked off, it loses the advantage and skill, but if the roll of caps runs out, it is "out of ammo" until it can "reload" but can fight, possibly gaining Brawling, Boxing, Wrestling or some combination of those skills.

This idea is golden, but difficult to price on the fly I think. Get the player to come up with a few templates beforehand.


Also, I wonder if there should be some kind of weakness to water?

Not worked out but conceptually, how about the power of Make-Believe/Let's Pretend (a form of Alternative Abilities with the limitations: only accessible in the presence of a child [not an adolescent] and requires one or more props)

If Teddy can only alternate between fixed "professions" such as Teddy Medic, Teddy Sheriff, Teddy Detective, Teddy Journalist and Super Teddy then the most convenient way to simulate it is with Alternate Forms. This simulates better an imaginative child who, when playing with Teddy, he assings the bear the same powers when it is Super Teddy ( and so on with the rest of roles)

I love this. I will be using it.

Yeah, I tossed those up there.

Maybe. I think "Can't Swim" or something.

This is actually an amazing use of imagination.

Don't forget the version with Leadership, Politics, and Survival... Teddy Roosevelt.
