Sean Waters Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Re: Daredevil-like senses and PER Mods I may be underthinking now, but is the simplest solution not to simply leave the character alone? I mean senses are just clever detects based on sfx. DD functions as well as a sighted person in most situations, why not just leave the character alone (at least as far as his primary sense goes) but just change the sfx, swapping, in effect, his hearing and sight. As with all sfx effects there will be minor advantages and limitations. He cannot 'see' in a vacuum, but can probably 'see' better underwater. He can 'see' in the dark, but gets no bonuses for good light. He can 'see' round corners, to an extent, but his 'vision' is severely impaired in noisy environments. Sight flashes won't blind him but sound flashes will. Why not, in other words, treat him as a normal character with different sfx attached to his senses, and say it is a zero sum change?

Certainly a good base construction, for Many years I've suggested taking Blind seldom, minor for DD types. But this fella wants So much More! so he needs to spend so much more to do it...
