Total = [50]

For ten minutes at a time, this gives the character 360 degree targetting IR senses, a spare set of invisible hands with Reach 1, capable of using e.g. any ferrous weapons totally independently using the characters' own skill levels and Perks. As an added bonus, the weapon used by the invisible hands is also invisible.

I might be inclined to add Links counterbalanced by Power Mods.


*Some might question the legality of applying Carry Objects to No Signature. I would note that since TK is normally invisible, the price for No Signature in this build is paid essentially only to hide the weapon.

It Rises!

Is it wrong that I would use those extra hands to fast-draw ammo and Quick Reload?

I dont' see a problem with it. You could probably build it with less points if you drop its targeting capabilities and just use is it that way.

You can teleport the subject to you. The subject (may be living or unliving) must weigh no more than 20 lbs. You must be able to see the subject or know exactly where it is.

To use this ability, take a 1-turn Concentrare maneuver and roll against your IQ at the distance penalty (p. B98). The "distance" to determine the penalty is the sum of the distance from you to the subject and the distance you want to teleport the subject, i.e., 2 times the distance between you and the subject.

If successful, the subject resists with HT at a penalty equal to your margin of success. Failure means you have it (or him/her). If the subject is a living being, he must make a successful Body Sense roll to avoid disorientation (see p. B181).

Statistics: Affliction 1 (HT; Advantage, Modified Warp, +250%; Based On IQ, Own Roll, +20%; Malediction 2, +150%; Nuisance Effect, Cannot concentrate for more or less than 1 second, -10%; Nuisance Effect, Cannot spend FP to offset penalties, -10%) [50]. Feature: Uses one roll with combined Teleportation distance penalties instead of two rolls with separate penalties. Advantage is Warp (Anchored, The afflicter himself, -50%; Exoteleport, -50%; Reliable 5, +25%) [25].

I'd have based it on Snatcher (not from another realm, ranged, and based on user's vision) I'd have to tinker with the modifiers though.

The more you talk, the dumber everyone who hears you gets. Everyone within 4 yards who can hear you speak and does so for a minute must roll a Quick Contest of Will with you or they get intrigued by what you are saying and begin listening. Unfortunately for them, what you are saying is such mind-numbing drivel that listening to you results in a continuous and cumulative Intelligence drain.

When a potential victim first enters the area and hears the intoxicating nonsense, he rolls a Quick Contest of Will with the speaker. On a failure, the victim actually listens to what you are saying and suffers a -1 penalty to his IQ for hearing it. To make matters worse, for every consecutive minute the victim listens to you prattle on, the penalty increases by -1. These penalties persist for a number of minutes equal to his margin of failure, as he mulls over your words, trying to make sense of their utter stupidity.

Statistics: Affliction (Area Effect, 4 yds, +100%; Attribute Penalty, -1 IQ, +10%; Cumulative, +400%; Emanation, -20%; Hearing-Based, -20%; Malediction, +100%; Takes Extra Time, x60, 1 minute, -60%) [51].

I announced it in another thread. I'll add a link in the first post now, though.

Oh that's just plain sad. Anyone know where the PDF is now?

I posted a copy on my website a while ago.

Pyro's Flame (+30%/-50%):
Control Fire 2 (Ranged, +50%; Requires Will Roll, -5%; Costs 3 FP per use, -15%) [48] + Burning Attack 1d (No Wounding, -50%) [3]
Notes: Allows user to create just enough fire to ignite a blaze, and then control it from a distance. Costs 3 FP. 51 points.

give the fire a gadget limitation of -20 & you have a flat 50.

This is the heros ability to snap and go crazy on an opponent after sufferning a serious beating, note you risk death activating it. Question is accessibility under priced, as scary as that may be, or should it be some form of trigger (must make roll to avoid death due to damage)?

Here is an add on variant, +10 st w/o hp bonus (80), striking st2 (10), insensible to pain (10), accessibility, only with -hp(-50%)

I would say this would be fair considering that, by default, the HT roll would have to be made to benefet from the advantage.

Sorry for any inconvenience, guys!

Notes: It's a cosmic attack, literally. Pulses of cosmic energy that radiate from the attacker (reaching 74 gigaparsecs in a flat second) burn out the neural system of living beings in the affected area, and remember that even the edge of our universe is "merely" about 10 gigaparsecs away from Earth. Also note that an Area Effect attack with Emanation involves no to-hit roll and simply affects anyone in the area. Furthermore, it allows victims only to dive for cover, and actually there's no effective cover since this Cosmic, Irresistible attack ignores DR. In conclusion, the user can attack every living thing in our entire universe, with 1 point of damage, 300 times per second. Have fun. 53 points.

My GM tells me Rapid Fire and Emanation are counter exclusive. Emanation Cannot be used with "Ranged or Melee attack modifiers" Rapid fire is marked with a gun and is therefore "ranged"
