Duplication and Equipment

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.

For +150% I would allow you to create Duplicates with a standardized set of equipment. Nothing snazzy, but better than being naked. Maybe equal to 1/5 the campaign budget limit, and standardized in advance. Linking Duplicate to Gizmo may also work.

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.

I would think Duplicable should be a C.F. modifier for the equipment itself possibly, or an enchantment

A Sword of Duplication certainly seems possible

[Kalzazz]

Actually Absorbtive Change from Alternate Form seems PERFECT

Powers pg 75

Then if you have 7 morphs, buy 7 swords at Bloodbath and Beyond and each of them can absorb 1 sword etc

I'd go with Absorptive Change on Duplication + paying for extra gear with cash. I see nothing unbalanced about it . . . you can stash cool gear where it can't be seen or stolen, but you've paid for said gear.
