Hello Longspeak, thanks for the help! I am in need of someone to bounce these build off of.
One issue I see is you Attached the shapechange to the mind scan. Someone might have a different opinion, but to me "Attached" means the power goes for as long as the power it's attached to is running. So the mindscan would be continual.
hmm ok I didn't get that interpretation for Attached when I read it's description. The way I read it was that it forces one Miracle's activation to be dependent upon another Miracles activation. I wanted the Dead Ringer/Shape Change Miracle to be dependent on a successful Mind Scan. After the Mind Scan goes off, the Dead Ringer/Shape Change is automatically triggered and can only be used in conjunction upon a successful Mind Scan. To reflect the momentary application of Mind Scan I didn't give it a "Time" descriptor like Duration or Endless as the initial idea was that the PC would scan a Target, assume the shape with a basic idea of who it was suppose to be based on the targets perception. That is why I initially only gave the Dead Ringer portion of the Miracle a "Time" descriptor I originally decided on Endless to give the PC some ability as a deep cover operative if the Player so chose, but your suggestion is a good way to save a few points and I kind of like the PC being unable to really hold a form for a long period of time so yeah I'm going to change the Endless to Duration. What do you think about my reasoning for Attached and Automatic?
Alternately, us an if/then on the shapechange:
Useful (Shapechange) Extras & Flaws: Endless +3, Variable Effect +4, If Then (Must Mind Scan First) -1, If/Then: (Variable Effect is only for choosing shape of someone target knows) -1, Self Only -3. Capacity: Self
yeah I like this...Thanks!
In either case you might consider dropping the size change. If the PCs is around 150 pounds, the shift will let her adopt most people without need for the size shift. Size Shift really just enables extremes. Without those components, the cost of 2hd drops a fair amount.
Well the Player expressed the ability to go from a 3 year old to Andre the Giant so I though Size Shift was needed...+ its like 1 point
For the Power Mimic portion of your power, I have a slight issue which might be nitpicking. The If/Then (Variable Effect must match subject's powers), the "subject" is the person you scanned, but the form is someone they know. They haven't scanned the person, to the limitation would draw on... the subjects assumptions?
Damn good catch I didn't even see that. So I will talk to the Player that maybe Power Mimic isn't a good fit with the drawback that they were so keen on.
This limits the PC to powers the subject knows the person has. This means record keeping for you. :) Again, this might just be my nitpick.
Yeah I am not to keen on lots of extra record keeping...
That's my two cents..
Man you rock thanks! I have 4 other PC's power sets created if you have some spare time and the inclination you mind giving them a critical eye?
