AIs, automatons, etc. as PCs

In Fifth Edition (all iterations of) Multiform is not capped in any way, you may have a 200 Pt Character with a 900 Pt Multiform.

 

The only restriction is that once you exceed your Base Characyer Points (say 200+150) you must come up with Disadvantages on the Multiform to cover the difference in Points.

Right - that's what I said, or meant to say.

 

The issue here is that, since I'm working with 150/100, there's no way to make a MF with more than 150 BP. I wanted a nice jet, which is very difficult with 150 BP, since there's only so many disads a vehicle can have.

Mind control is close' date=' but even if we put on all the appropriate adjustments, it would actually make him the vehicle's AI - e.g., his ego wouldn't apply.[/quote']

I meant, "it WOULDN'T actually make him the vehicle's AI."

presumable the Jet is still tha AI:

Distinctive Features - unique jet

All Psych Lims a characters has.

Possibly the same Hunteds.

Possibly the same DNPCs.

Physical Limitations - jets can't walk in buildings.

 

Sure some of those might be reduced in value a bit over normal. But a 100pts or more can't be too hard to come up with.

I was interested in doing something like this too for a Star Hero game I'm in, but scrapped the notion because I figured it'd be too much of a pain in the ass for me as well as the GM.

 

Guess there's no easy way to build a Star Hero PC-version of "The Robot" from Lost In Space ?
