Ability Bonous Need soem work.

Hio all been thinking of making Abilitys do a little more Str,Ag,Dur,
all seam to do plenty but INT and SPEED just seem kinda left in this dust so ive been thinking of adding some extra things to INT and SPEED to give them a bit of a boost.

for int i was thinking. the smater u are the more actions u can do.cuz you better abel to put your thouts togeather and react/deal with trama then the outhers. by idea for this would look somthing like this.

int.

1-3:2Action 1free
4-6:3action 1free
7-9:4 action 1free
10:5Action 1 free

and for speed I was thinking the amout of time u can split stones to better represent your speed as some 1 with the the speed of 3 could not punch over 10 times in a panel(rufly 1 punch a second) i was thinkig for speed you wold get a for every 3 in speed u get to split stones 4 times (about 1 every 2.5 second) looking like this.
Speed
1-3: can split 4 times for mellee/8 times for firearms
4-6: can split 8 times for mellee/16 times for firearms
7-9: can spit 12 times for mellee/24times for firearms
10: can spit 16 times for mellee/32 times for firearms

Now of corse doing things like pulling a triger is much faster than punching my rule of tum so far is x2 speed on all firearms

and finaly if you using speed over agility to go first then u get +1 to all splits so
Speed with Speed to go first over agility

1-3: can split 5 times for mellee/10 times for firearms
4-6: can split 9 times for mellee/18 times for firearms
7-9: can spit 13 times for mellee/26times for firearms
10: can spit 17 times for mellee/34 times for firearms


this is just a thought i had any body think this has soem merit or is it just a bad idea ading a complicated system where there is no need for 1?

Speed has some pretty cool things attached... running up walls, across water, etc... Speed is very interesting to have at 7+.

[kito]

tru but as i said being faster means doing stuff faster outher than just runing.

[Gryphynx]

No, the book actually says that Speed is really only your running speed. Agility is the 'other things'.

[kito]

hmm guess speed is unneeded but wout about my int? is it just gona make it inbal or does it have marit?

The extra Actions for Intelligence are just kind of unnecessary; five Actions/panel is effectively useless when your average character only has 9 energy stones to toss around. Plus Intelligence (if you go RAW) has the ability to be a source of Energy, which gives it more use.

The Speed rules don't really need to be fixed, either; everything Sphynx said is accurate, but also consider what the Ability Bonuses to an Action reflect. If a character throws 6 stones of Speed into Close Combat, he's not hitting as strongly as someone with 6 stones of Strength, but he's probably hitting more often, causing the same total effect of damage. Honestly, though, I'd like to just see Speed go the way it does in M&M3, treating enhanced speed as an Action, rather than an Ability.

so ill chalk this idea up as a fail thx all for you comments and help in this matter
