mwiggins Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 I'm trying to make a character that fires lasers, and absorbs light to charge an END reserve, and I got a few questions. the absorb is going to take in lasers, light based flashes. Is that covered by limited phenonon -1/2? The REC is going to have limited recovery "Bright lights" sun, camera flash, ect. With dim lights (maybe) giving 1/2 rec. what is this limited rec worth? If he fires a 10D6 energy blast that costs 5 END. Can he bounce it back so he can reabsorb it and get back more END that it cost to fire it?

Is that covered by limited phenonon -1/2? By my understanding, yes. However, given that many ED based attacks have a bright light associated with them (lightning, particle beams, fire, etc.) you might want to consider a lesser (even a -0, perhaps) limitation 'doesn't absorb powers that don't at least glow' or some such. The REC is going to have limited recovery "Bright lights" sun, camera flash, ect. With dim lights (maybe) giving 1/2 rec. what is this limited rec worth? -1 to -1/2, depending on how much of your activity goes down at night or in unlit buildings. I'd go with the -1/2, it gives the GM a bit less room to screw with you. If he fires a 10D6 energy blast that costs 5 END. Can he bounce it back so he can reabsorb it and get back more END that it cost to fire it? By the letter of the rules, yes. Do it too often and the GM is going to get annoyed.

I am the GM. Well... going to be. I'm making a few starter characters, mostly based on the comics I've read (mostly X-Men related). In this case Dazzler, but she absorbs light instead of sound. I won't tell the player and let him or her figure it out on thier own. thanks for the advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
