I've sent a PM to the GM on this too, but figured I'd open this up here too. I'm a total neophyte to M&M. I've played a slew of other games, Hero System, Champions, Marvel, DC (when they first came out and were pretty woeful).
I'm not sure how the defense trade off thing works. At PL 9, the toughness/def would be a total of 18, but you can trade off one for one to have either score lower than the limit of 9? I think I have it right, just not sure.
I believe you have a Defense bonus of up to +9 and toughness of up to +9 and you can increase or decrease them by up to 4 according to the limits set by Watcher. So you could have a defense up to +13 but only 5 toughness or a toughness of 13 but defense would be +5. You would add the base of 10 for defense once you are finished, creating a defense range of 15 - 23 (assuming you were keeping everything maxed) and a toughness range of 5 - 13 (assuming max).
Hmmm. My defense bonus is +18 from Dex and shrinking. So I am over the cap? I have no toughness.
Yes, by house rules you are over cap. The raw rules allow any amount of trade off, as long as the two add up to less than double the game's power level. However, many games (including this one) have capped that (our limit is 4) in order to avoid trade offs that are too extreme. You can imagine facing an enemy with 0 Defense but having 18 Toughness, Impervious 9. Hitting him would be a cinch, but how would you hurt him?
As a result, you'll have to rearrange things to bring your Defense down to a max of 13. You could always use those points to bring your toughness up as high as 5.
Likewise your fortitude and reflex saves at 0 mean that any mental or biological attack will floor you.
Okay, I think we're set here. I also had the PL on hero lab set at 10 which I think screwed me up. Changes are input in the OP page already. Broadway is no longer oblivious ;)
I did a silly thing last night; I was trying to get my numbers straightened out and arranged the way I wanted. As the Profile page always times out if you keep the modify window open too long, I was typing up the changes in Google Docs. Long story short, didn't save properly, ended up copy/pasting an old version of the character over top of all of the changes I had just ironed out, and then clicked Done.
Grr, grumble, grumble.
Well, so much for all that work. I think I've got it just about fixed up now, except for one question. Trying to figure out places to save points (of course), and so I was looking at my Density power. It is there pretty much only for flavour, as it ties into his backstory quite a bit. In a pinch it does help out some of his defensive abilities, but if he every gets found (in the flesh, as it were), he's probably going to be running away, not fighting (unless he decides to pull a Waldo Butters, and face down the BBEG in a hopeless confrontation). Since 19 points is a hefty investment for a story based element of the character, I'm trying to lighten that load, but I don't want to lose it.
My question is this, with Density, if I took the Immobile flaw at the -1 value, do you think that it would render me immobile in the sense that he would be unable to move under his own power, or immobile in the sense that he pretty much could not be moved? Wheel chair/mobility scooter bound would be fine, and thematically appropriate, but completely unmovable would be pretty hard to explain (Keep in mind this is a permanent effect for him. If he couldn't ever be moved, how did he get to where he is in the first place? Was he born there?) Here's the excerpt from the rules:
• Immobile (–1): When using Density, you are unable to move from where you stand when you activate the effect, although you can still take actions, so long as they don’t involve movement. If you are completely immobile (and helpless) while using Density, increase the flaw’s value to –3.
I suppose an alternative would be to make him immobile and then have a Device with an anti-gravity system installed (Nullification: Density or Gravity). However, I have his ability set up as innate at the moment as it reflects his story better (he weights that much because he really has that much mass packed into his frame), so I'd have to change that in order for that option to work (such as saying his density is a mass amplification effect or Gravity effect of some sort, unwittingly projected upon himself, but theoretically nullifyable.)
I do not believe that being Immobile means you can't be moved, it means you don't have the strength to move yourself. Something could then move you, assuming it has the strength to life/carry you.
If this was champions I would spend points to buy off the immobile version of the DI effect and put it in a focus of some sort. In effect you get less points from immobile because you can ignore it most of the time, that way it wouldn't effect the innate nature, just the immobile part of it.
I would suggest buying the density increase at a lower level, to save points, or you could have a side effect that drains your movement tied to the power that is always on and innate like the power.
Everyone as I have been reading the game play discussion I'm am beyond impressed!!! I'm glad you were all chosen to be the Heroes of Freedom
Confession: I poured points into Knowledge (pop culture) entirely so Isaac could make media free associations. :)
@ Imaginator
Personally, I look at it like this. The density increase is a descriptor for a meta-human disability. Currently you are paying for Strength and other stats (don't have a rule book on me at the moment) that you don't really need. I would buy it as a Feature: Increased Mass, pay 1 point per doubling, x2, x4, x8, x16, x32. There you go, 5 points, 3200 kilos. Your Strength & other stats are unaffected because it is just mass, not muscle mass and you save 14 points.
At least my $.02.
I totally agree with Invictus
Been looking into the problem with my Player/Character. On the other campaign I am in it shows both aliases. This one only Taenia.
With some time hope it will just show both of you.
I was not planning on adding to any of your guys patrols but Techno added something that I can use later and couldn't resist.
Is Absorption considered in the total defense?
Yes it is.
Anything that can be used in Saves or Defense counts.
Ok, I have rebuilt a little. I gave Dr. Quark a helmet that gives him some immunities and a force field. I pulled back his Defense to acceptable trade offs. I didn't want to just give him toughness. He isn't that tough, but he does have an ablative force field that will protect him from some damage. I also bought up his saves a bit since people were so concerned. I want him to be a little bit of a glass jaw, but this makes it less of a problem.
The new version is posted here but not on Obsidian Portal yet.
Just an FYI Quark, in your Tag stats under the Quark alias, you have your saves listed as T:15 F:14 R:15 W:14, those are a little misleading. Your defense is 23 because that is the total an attacker needs to roll to hit you, your saves though are added to a d20 result, and should be listed as T:+5 F:+4 R:+5 W:+4.
Also your Micronaut Life Support is listed as Immunity to Criticals, Disease & Life Support. Life Support is 9 points and includes: Immunity to Poison & Disease, All Environmental Conditions, and Suffocation. You don't need to buy disease a second time.
I noticed that none of your powers are limited to while at a smaller size, you could save points and up ranks that way, but not sure if that's intended or not. :)
Also, since the GM has stated he's not going to be adding to the other 'intro's' as yet, are we waiting for Techno's scene to carry out, or can we do fluff posts as we begin for the next day? Specifically thinking of a class room scene at Roosevelt as the get ready for their field trip.
Thanks for the advice Invictus. After looking at what everyone else can do, I went back and did some major point shifting. Added limitations on most powers so they can only be used while shrinking. Then took those points and put them into a helmet in the style of Star Lord that offers a variety of defenses, boosting saves. It is still fairly easy for someone to pluck it off my head, but that is the peril of being a little man.
As for the saves in the tagline, I thought Watcher wanted static numbers for all of those, but I have updated them to be just bonuses (new bonuses).
Quark won't be such a lightweight now. Of course, as flavor goes, I have no way to have created this cool helmet, but I could have taken it from The Forge.
He can still see at microscopic levels and x-ray all the time.
Let me know if you see any problems. I've never built characters for M&M with Hero Lab before, and it has taken me a while to find a lot of things.
Invictus yes you are more then welcome to do the next day fluff. I'm working on getting a few characters ironed out on hero labs and waiting for the Imaginators final version, with it being Mother's Day weekend I'm not sure how much posting will get done have s a busy weekend doing stuff my wife wants to do.
Just as a time frame for everyone you need to be at the court house no latter then 10 thouse on jury duty need to be there at 8.
I hear you on the wife-stuff. I think I'm just about done; I'm trying to take a few minutes here and there, whenever I get them. You said not to post until we're totally good to go, so that's what I'm waiting on.
According to our intro's a couple of dynamic things, even for Freedom City occurred, a major fire, a bomb destroying a suburban home, a crack house was destroyed by parties unknown.
Does anyone want to have a meet up in ID after their intro's to banter, or even throw down in a good guys fight trope, for some lite RP over Mother's Day until we can start in earnest next week?
I'm up for it.
@Quark
You could consider the helmet a gift from Techno Priest. After years of self-operation, he believes he's found someone who could help him and gifts the helmet as a sign of trust.
But being the total creep he is, Techno Priest could have deduced your ID and delivered the helmet to your house.
Edit: I pretty much knocked myself out of meeting up with my last narrative unless you guys want to advance our relationship and come over for breakfast hah.
I'm up to meet people. I'll post a link to make myself easy to meet.
I'm down
Count me in. It is likely that any grouping might attract his attention.

If you are done just trying to massage numbers to get them to work then you can post how are the avatars coming.
Guys that's a regular night in Freedom city that's why it needs lots of heroes.
@ Techno Priest
RET CON! Sure, in Techno Priests solo title, the house blew up he went home, and was talking to the Alcorn's. But in the group title "Freedom City's Finest!" There is a yellow box that reads;
*These events immediately follow the detonation as seen in Techno Priests Confessions, Issue #1 - editor
I did the same thing in my post! :)

Cool idea. Only thought would be, if it has no advantage associated and limits his mobility, would it be a drawback? He has a mobility drawback as it is, worth just -1 (minimum value) as I am not expectin to come up much (unless the GM has genius bad guys - or telepaths I suppose - figure out his identity more quickly and more often than I anticipated). Could it not just be an aspect of this Drawbac, rather than a feature that is paid for?
Absolutely, BUT, if you pay a few points for it, it IS advantageous in that you'd probably score some bonuses to resist being KB'd if those said telepathic baddies tracked you down, it'd take a full crew to throw you into a van if they intended to kidnap you.
That is like saying Thor doesn't really need to buy Immunity to Aging, the campaign isn't going to go long enough to matter. True to a point, it all depends on the GM.
@Techno Priest I like that plan. It probably creeps Quark out a bit, but he obviously isn't hard to find. I imagine the H.E.L.M looks like one of those neck wraparound bluetooth phone devices when he is in his civilian identity and then it builds itself around his head in hero mode.
Techno Priest probably saw him get his ass kicked one night by a random mugger and then thought to solve the problem.
Watcher, I just realized I didn't buy equipment. Do you want me to rearrange points, or just do without? BTW, Looking it up, a modern smartphone is 8 points of M&M2 equipment.
Not sure how it works in M&M2 but in other systems it is an issue only if you use it as part of your Hero ID. For example, it is easy to assume everyone has an office or equivalent, a home, a car a phone and a computer, even though these should cost points.
I would suggest that you do have a smartphone, in your Secret ID name and probably easily traceable, a computer system along the same lines, cars/homes/etc.. so that you probably make a significant effort to NOT use those things for Heroic purposes so they don't trace back to your Secret ID.
8 points for a smart phone seems pretty steep. My whole headquarters only costs 9.
In most 4 color style campaigns I have played in, normal equipment hasn't been much of an issue. It seems reasonable to me to assume that characters have basic equipment in their normal lives.
Peter Parker doesn't have to pay for his camera, but Cap does have to pay for his motorcycle because he uses it in combat. In fact, it might be more a device.
I paid for a headquarters because I want to be able to have a place to have labs and do adventurer stuff. It also has a medical practice in it. At the same time, Invictus doesn't have to pay for his classroom even if it has a computer that he can use to look something up.
Just my 2cp.
^ +1.
Also, waiting on a PM from Techno, and I should have an In Game post up in about an hour, have to go throw some hot dogs on the BBQ, even if it is raining I deserve BBQ'd meat and beer on a Saturday! :)

I fully agree a Smart phone is different then if you were trying to buy a com link system. If it something that isn't used in combat that can be purchased at Target or something similar it wont cost points
Oh, Broadway, I didn't mention it earlier, but I nearly spit my coffee all over my lap top when I read the superhero groupie comment.
I think she needs to make an appearance in each of our stories at one point or another. Something of a professional dnpc! LOL Makes me laugh!
Im trying to get everyone's finalized characters from Hero Labs posted. I want you to check them out make sure they are all correct.(they will be the final version of characters over your profiles. Im hoping to have them all ready to go by Monday morning we can start at the courthouse and get this rolling for real.

Now I just have enter his golems to possess
@ Invictus: I agree, she could wind up being the group DNPC :D
T.I.G.H.T.S. looks snug and supporting, but flexible. Just as he should be. :)
Quark looks good.
Just making sure this is how we all agreed on combat right?
Combat Actions
After the description of your actions please have all the dice rolls actions broken down along with the
Example
The bowman pulls his bow and knocks his bladed arrow as he runs to the edge of the rooftop takes aim on Dr. Simian in his hover chair and lets his arrow fly.
Or
The bowman pulls his bow and knocks his Confusion arrow as he runs to the edge of the rooftop takes aim on group of Viper agents and lets his arrow fly.
Rolling for Skills and Powers
[Dice=Skill or Powers Name] 1d20+14[dice] [ooc] Any modifier besides standard ranks in power or skill [ooc](Took me a few times trying it out to get the Quotes to be Non Combat Blue you have to put the OOC after the quote not before.)
I just made a savings throw macro so I can have saves from combat easier no matter my computer my iphone or my ipad
Here is the example they are over with the other macros if you guys care.
Ares Saves
Broadway Saves
Dr. Quark
Invictus
Praxiteles the Golem
T.I.G.H.T.S.

BTW, can you give a weather listing for important days? Having some rain around every once a while will make it much easier for me to get into hero mode.
Just realized that Watcher is running with the old build where Invictus had Impervious 10, rather than Impervious 6, Second Chance (Ballistic Dmg) & Ultimate Effort (Toughness).
Questions about the GM rolling our saves, can we retcon posts? ie. I'm at Work, Dr. Big Bad levels Invictus with the Eat-Death Ray, and GM rolls a Toughness save that would result in Invictus being knocked out, can I post when I get home saying I'd like a re-roll (Hero Point expenditure), or I'd like to activate Ultimate Toughness?
Another question, and I know this is a long way off, but I love my character, and the setting! I am an old school Champions player, so the mix of Freedom-verse with iconic Champions villains is awesome! Bring on Mechanon! :)
Anyways, as for earning PP through experience, how will that affect our PL's seeing as we're at 150 & PL 9 currently, at 165 we hit PL 10? Just so I can plot out my advancement so that my defense & offense grow to the new cap along side with my skills & non combat capped powers (senses & what not).
@Invictus: To a certain extent I will allow you to "retcon" if you use a hero point of sometime of Ultimate effort, you can also after your attack of before the Villains attack put an ooc comment saying that if needed you will use either your hero point or a feat of needed to atempt to stay conscious.
As for power points I was thinking more along the lines of 25 to PL 10 and then like 35 to 50 each additional PL.
Good news for you bad news for the Freedomverse I'm always happy to take requests. Mwwhahahahahaha (in a digitized voice)
