gibsonc22 Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 My friend's dad has this weird thing so if you change the termostat up or down when he is sleeping, he wakes up and can't sleep normally for the rest of the night. How would you build that? Bill Hice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monolith Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 Detect thermostat temperature changes, sense. In that regard it would be no more different than him hearing someone coming into the house when sleeping. You might want to throw a few Enhanced PER Levels into it too to negate the sleeping modifiers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Hiemforth Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 Even easier: Lightsleep, No Conscious Control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solomon Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 If he can't sleep normally for the rest of the night, I'd throw in a Physical Limitation for good measure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why the NCC on the Lightsleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjcurrie Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 Personally, I think it's just a Physical Limitation. I cannot really see any benefit to it, so I see no need to charge a character points for it. Rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengal Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 Probably no use to it, but it as useful as, say, 1 point of Resistance or Perfect Pitch. Build it on a couple chareacter points as a Detect and then also buy it as a Quirk for the same number of points it cost you to build it.

Chromatic Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 i'd just make it a one point quirk. trouble sleeping when temps change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Logue Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 I'd snag a few different thoughts from here and make it as such.... Don't Touch That Thermostat!: Detect A Single Thing - Temperature Change While Sleeping 15- (Touch Group) (7 Active Points); Conditional Power, Power does not work in Common Circumstances (Does Not Work While Awake; -1/2), Side Effects, Side Effect occurs automatically whenever Power is used (Wakes Up And Cannot Return To Sleep During The Same Sleep Cycle; -1/2). 3 points. Don't forget that when you make a Detect passive, which is how I see this one, that Sense and Enhanced Perception are automatically thrown in. Or at least that's what happened when I clicked on Passive in HD(v2). And it shouldn't be simply a Physical Limitation because there is a benefit involved: he can automatically detect temperature changes during his sleep. (From the original post, we don't know if the ability carries over to waking hours.) He could quite possibly catch CLOWN in their latest late-night temperature-changing caper. Meanwhile, why are you statting your friend's dad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Logue Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 Oddly, I posted twice. Just ignore me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
