Various Option Ideas

[Neros]

These are various ideas I've had for some Actions, and I figured I would post them all in one place instead of making individual threads for each.

Entangle
• Body Wrap (-2 CL): Your entangle works by you wrapping a body part around the target (or your whole body). The maximum difficulty is set by your Strength, but the Resistance can still be pile on endlessly. Stones that exceeds the final Resistances of the binding is applied as an attack against you.

Growth
• Limb Growth (+1 CL): You can opt to only increase the size of your limbs or other body parts without you actually increasing in size. This roughly doubles their size per stone (this size can be spread among body parts), and grants 1 Strength and Durability per stone (not Pool or Recovery). You may divide stones of effect between Limb Growth and normal Growth.
NOTE: I am very uncertain if I should also include Pool and Recovery in this. I just don't want to "negate" the original effect of the power.

Inventing
• Tinkerer (-2 CL): You aren't a full-blown inventor, but you do tinker a little with this and that. You are limited to creating small gadgets, simple alchemical potion or magical trinkets depending on the nature of your character. The maximum AN of any item is limited to half you’re AN and you may only spend around 2 white stones on the gadget (at GM's discretion).

Phase Shift
• Energy/Gaseous Form (-1 CL): Your form is made up of a substance that can’t really be touched, which means you cannot phase trough solid objects yet still have the same advantages from Phase Shifting. But depending on what material you are made up of, then you may be vulnerable to certain things. These usually deal stun damage to you (subtracts energy from your pool).

• Liquid/Loose Form (-2 CL): You still have a physical form when “phasing”. Like water, sand, etc. You can’t go through solid materials, but you may squeeze your body through the tinniest cracks; only a completely air-tight container will hold you. Your form can however be disrupted. Attacks directed at you deal stun damage (stones of damage are subtracted from your Energy Pool instead of Health), and you may treat your Phase Shift AN as a kind of Reflexive Dodge stones against most normal physical harms. Certain elements would ignore this defense.

NOTE: It seemed kinda wierd that energy and liquids had exactly the same mechanics, so I tried make them different.

Limb regrowth should be a Healing option.

[Neros]

Just to make it clear though: it is "Limb Growth", not "Limb Regrowth"

If you still feel it should be under healing; can you elaborate on why it should be a healing option to grow your limbs much larger?

idk about "tinker" seem like it might need more of a neg cost seems like it has its own version of cant be inporouved buy adding lines -2, then also not particular useful -1, and limited duration -1. (so might want like a -3 or -4?)

I think tinker might fit better that they don't like to build just tinker Can only use full AN and int bonus when "tinkering" with an already a peace of tech in there hand, and when they invent they can only use Half AN or int bonus at GM discretion each use. (based on there mood) (just my 2 cents)

I can see however how it could be confusing with how it is written "may only spend around 2 white stones on it", so I am gona change that bit.

In 2.0, Inventing basically works like below and the Option affects the Action following:

• Get a pool of White stones equal to Intelligence + AN OR Intelligence + AN, per issue
• Spend these extra white stones on the inventions (maximum 2 stones at GM's discretion with the Tinkerers Option)
• Maximum AN of any gadget is equal to your Inveting AN (This is half with the Tinkerers Option)
  
  

In 2.0, none of the tinkerer inventions (or normal inventions) are one shot.
But you are able to give each invention "traits" like; "Stationary" and "One Shot", which lowered their "inventor cost".
