Christopher Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Re: Idunn, Goddess of Youth...Trolling for powers. Maybe an always on CE that boost fertility in the area around her? Plants bloom and bear fruit' date=' animals go into estrus/have heavier than normal but healthy litters, minor illnesses clear up, people get a bit "friskier" and energetic (spring fever), etc. Not to the level of mind control or transform but a noticeable effect when Idunn is in the area. It might even just be a Complication. Maybe call it something like "Eternal Spring"?[/quote'] Don't forget personal Immunity: http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0501.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Tom 2009 Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Re: Idunn, Goddess of Youth...Trolling for powers. I noticed that in her writeup that one of her Disads is Distinctive Features: Ethereal Beauty. About how many levels of Attractive Appearance does that translate into?

Opale Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Re: Idunn, Goddess of Youth...Trolling for powers. To me Extreme Beauty would be a 20+ COM or 3 levels of Striking Appearance. Ethereal Beauty, meaningful for a Goddess, would be over 30 COM, or 5 levels of Striking Apperance, IMHO Striking Opale, without appearance.

I noticed that in her writeup that one of her Disads is Distinctive Features: Ethereal Beauty. About how many levels of Attractive Appearance does that translate into? Actually none. A Disadvantage means she has difficulty because of her beauty. People permanently hitting on her. Attractive Appearance or high PRE/COM means she has advantages because of her good looks. She can have both advantages and disadvantages, but just as well only one side. Only the disadvantage could mean that people have difficulty actually listening to her when it maters (they thinks she is a pretty Airhead) Only the advantage means, people know when they have no chance.

Opale Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Re: Idunn, Goddess of Youth...Trolling for powers. Well I disagree with Christopher. It happens that Disadvantages can be used as an Advantage sometimes like when a terrifying ugly character interrogates someone. And if we stick strictly to the rules, which I rarely do *winks*, having An Extreme Beauty Disadvantage should be justified by buying some High COM or Striking Appearance levels, like any other background item. Look at the Advanced Player's Guide, Complications Chapter, p149 - Distinctive Features to convince yourself. Steve Long's explains it better than I do. Beside that, I agree to think your character looks exactly what you want him/her to look like, but some common sense has to be used when you build it. There is for instance a no sense in building a Character with the Complication "Poverty", if you bought the Perk Wealthy on the other hand. it works in both ways.

It happens that Disadvantages can be used as an Advantage sometimes like when a terrifying ugly character interrogates someone. I disagree that you disagree with me. Sometimes you can have powers you have not paid points for (Power Roll). So getting once or twice a bonus without paying points is part of the game system already. But you don't have the bonus regulary, only on a case by case basis. And if we stick strictly to the rules' date=' which I rarely do *winks*, having An Extreme Beauty Disadvantage should be justified by buying some High COM or Striking Appearance levels, like any other background item.[/quote'] That has nothing to do with the rules. That is your own decision, that you pay CP for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And since only 6th Ed. characters don't have COM scores, it was a valid question on my part. Major Tom 2009 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enforcer84 Posted June 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Re: Idunn, Goddess of Youth...Trolling for powers. Too true!

Opale Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Re: Idunn, Goddess of Youth...Trolling for powers. Imho +4 Striking Appearance Opale, asking her mirror how much Striking Appearance she has herself, a hammer in the hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teflon Billy Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Re: Idunn, Goddess of Youth...Trolling for powers. I don't know if you were trying to write soem french, but in the case of .. it's "tout de suite" Teaching Opale. Yes, but as it is pronounced over on this side of the pond (and almost never, ever seen in a written form) the "de" is never vocalized.

TB Well, in french if you vocalize "tout suite", it means nothing. At least the "de" is semi vocalized in slang like in "tout d'suite" Cultural moment & French lesson offered by Opale.

Laundry Knight Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Re: Idunn, Goddess of Youth...Trolling for powers. Something you might look into is that early scientists believe in what was called the vegetable force, an energy field that made life possible. It has since been disproven, but it might be worth looking up for a supers or mystical campaign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of curiosity' date=' do you usually use Comeliness or Striking Appearance?[/quote'] Comeliness, the vast majority of my write ups are still in 5th. I've been slowly branching out to 6th and I even have a Hero Designer 6e Template with a COM stat; but I'd have to adjust some of the Export Templates to take advantage.

Enforcer84 Posted June 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Re: Idunn, Goddess of Youth...Trolling for powers. You have to make a custom version of the 6e Template...you can add characteristics I think HD allows for like 4 or 5 additional ones.
