That's a great question... thinking out loud here:

• The power is innate to the race, and basically everyone has it. So its part of the template
• The power takes a fair amount of skill, practice, and exercerize to become good at, so the template is missing the actual skills needed and has the powers at a lower level than a full knight-shaman. V has Occult!, but the skills needed here are less bookish mystery and more muscle memory or even chi, really. V has a little bit of chi... but nothing like a wild card skill.

So the abilities are:

• The ability to soak up ER by going somewhere really cold. This grants immunity to cold as a side effect. It takes 2 hours of freezing meditation to recover 1 FP. The base template comes with 5 ER, and you can draw on FP as well, though that's less effective, costing 2 FP to do 1 ER's work. This requires a meditation roll at +4 in normal circumstances.
• Creation of Ice in an area. This is either create or binding. The binding as well as the costs ER to use: 1 for every two attacks. This normally requires your hands. The attack roll is vs Innate Attack (ice forming).
• The Movement of ice. This is a weird form of TK. It will let V move 1 ton of ice at 1/3rd yard per second. Occasionally driving (ice mass) comes up, but its rare.
• Stunts are available, and generally powered by ER.

V just has a suit of armour, and they were wearing it, right? I'll go fetch my rifle, cutlass, construction foam (enough to seal several doors shut), and explosives (enough to breach a whole in the side of an average building).

Several = 8? and maybe 25 cube feet per door? so 200 cubic feet? 120 gallons? that's a lot. did you bring that much? that's 360 lbs...



Lets say you want to get through a 1 foot stone wall: there are some pretty thick walls in this town, as the oldest and nicest buildings were built by people who could shape stone with a thought. That's 250 damage, or 75d, or ... 26 lbs of TL10 explosive.

Right on the number of doors, probably not that much per door; I was more thinking like enough to glue doors shut, like by spreading the foam along the hinges/edges of the doors so the doors won't open.

I think we agreed like 265 pounds (medium encumbrance) was a fair total for all equipment, and I went with 100 pounds of explosives.

With the other stuff being:

-> Superfine Cutlass
-> Surveillance Microbots
-> Smart device, preferably disguised
-> Cash

I figure a reasonable split would be 100 pounds of explosives, 100 pounds of construction foam (I think we added that ex post facto when I remembered I'd need something to stick the hive to the belfry with), and 65 pounds for the remaining equipment.

That looks right.

I don't think Halcyone has lockpicking... though it would make sense for her to have it, I don't see it on the sheet.

I noticed there was an old sheet for Halcyone, so I updated that one with a link to the current pdf sheet.

Yeah, I was looking at the old sheet. You're good.

I mean, on the one hand callback can be fun, but on the other hand I have no shortage of worlds I've generated. We'll see.

Dice will decide as usual.

Updated the sheet; added Scuba, improved Shortsword a level. Two points remain. Sheet here too

Well, I've been assuming the YOUTopia setting is basically, "TL10, advanced biotech, no sapient robots but total cyborgs with lab grown brains are fine.", which for our purposes usually means, "TL10". Veto stuff at your whim, that's cool.

Cutlass (LT69) is sw cut, thr+1 imp, reach 1, weight 2. There's also a thr cr hilt punch. It's also ST8, so Halcyone's still under triple strength. Adding both superfine and vibro (UT163-164) adds an armor divisor of (5) and +1d+2 damage while powered, and a divisor of (2) and +2 damage while unpowered (unpowered happens to be the exact same as Halcyone's current sword). It also adds half a pound weight for the C-Cell to power it, which lasts for two and a half minutes a cell.

Or in other words:

Attack			Damage		Reach
Unpowered Swing		4d+1(2)	cut	1
Unpowered Thrust	2d+3(2)	imp	1
Powered Swing		5d+1(5)	cut	1
Powered Thrust		3d+3(5)	cut	1
Hilt Punch		2d	cr	C
