Re: Jab’s Power Profiles: Deleted 2nd Edition Powers- Super-Strength, Mind Shield

And as I think I mentioned in the Discord, someone pointed out that Green Ronin archetypes / characters typically averaged about PL-2 across the three "exotic saves" of Reflex, Will, and Fortitude, which led a number of people to adapt it as informal caps for their games.

Re: Jab’s Power Profiles: Deleted 2nd Edition Powers- Array, Container

One thing I do miss from the second edition Containers was a better exploration of the duration of the combined effects. If someone has a bunch of powers combined with an Activation, is maintaining that form Sustained? Continuous? If someone attempts to Broad Nullify your "Beast Form", do ...

Re: Jab’s Power Profiles: Deleted 2nd Edition Powers- Boost, Power Reserve

One thing lost with not transporting the idea of an Array over to 3E is the ability to add more points than the most expensive power, such as with Dynamic Arrays. Weirdly enough, in the Gadget Guides, their Wide Array (And the second edition version of that, introduced in the Masterminds Manual, was...

Re: Jab’s Power Profiles: Deleted 2nd Edition Powers- Boost, Power Reserve

I also wished they'd kept the "Super-Senses" name. Much like the situation with Create and Movement, the term suddenly became too generic to easily search for via text.

Re: Jab’s Power Profiles: Deleted 2nd Edition Powers- Boost, Power Reserve

Sorry for being unclear. Yes, Power Reserve gives a consistent discount to the Dynamic APs, as well as giving you some free ones at the start. :-)

Re: Jab’s Power Profiles: Deleted 2nd Edition Powers- Boost, Power Reserve

Power Reserve is simply a Dynamic Array with a limitation that it only applies to powers that already have ranks, and with "free" dynamic on them. It's also a decent way to handle a separate descriptor (psychic powers, but the Power Reserve is Technology-based). In 3E, it would come out as...

Re: Jab’s Power Profiles: Deleted 2nd Edition Powers- Anatomic Separation

The one place where I feel they really fumbled things in terms of the replacement for boost was the idea of a reaction boost. Somehow, they turned it into it being the same cost to have access to those ranks at all times, or the only have them in certain circumstances, and immediately fading. It jus...

Re: Jab’s Power Profiles: Extras! Drawbacks! Flaws!

I kind of miss 2E Emotion Control too. Such a wide variety of powerful effects available... although some of them required errata to make sense, like Calm.

Re: Jab’s Power Profiles: Feats! Extras! Drawbacks!

I believe that Activation also involves a degree of Noticeable, which helps reduce the "I took this action before we started the adventure" argument. Much like having a weapon drawn, it's evident that you're prepared to fight. Speaking of which, I thought Noticeable still had a "secon...

Re: Jab’s Power Profiles: Devices! Feats! Extras!

It's still possible in 3E via a Smash attack although, with enough points in it, the Toughness gets prohibitive. You could treat the parts as their own individual Devices, but then they get even less destructible... and that's if they don't get the Indestructible Power Feat in the Gadget Guides (adm...

Re: Feats

Innate: The power is an innate part of your nature and not affected by Nullify. -Essentially an "Immunity" on a power but really oddly used. Typically it's for inherently small or large creatures so they can't just be shrunk by someone. BUT this could technically apply to nearly anything,...

There is also the potential for Affects Others, I suppose.

Re: Multiples of the device

What do the additional ones do for him? If it's so that he can pull out another one if one gets destroyed, that's generally a descriptor for going back to base to recover the Device (or maybe a Hero Point use).

Re: Jab’s Power Profiles: Immunity! Immortality! Deflect!

The other question which was raised in a game I was in is whether you need to declare the Deflect target on a turn, or if you determine it on a reaction. Although, of course, there is always the option of readying an action.

Re: Jab’s Power Profiles: Regeneration! Healing! Immunity!

{nods} 2E had the Favored Opponent Feat, of course, which let you bypass it because you knew that weakness.
