Alternative Havok

[bootmobile]

I thought as long as I was re-doing one Summers brother I may as well do the other. They are both underpowered as printed.

So here's SCott's little brother, Alex. I invent a new modifier here, based off of Targeting, but I explain it (well I hope).

Choose one of the character's superpower Actions, this modifier is added to any stones placed into that Action. The stones added from this modifier may not be shifted into defense and do not allow more stones to be put into an action than the Action Number.
The free stones from this modifier must be played if any stones are placed in the selected Action. If the player wishes a lesser effect they must allocate a stone from the Action for every stone of the modifier they would like to counter.
The maximum modifier number that may be purchased is equal to one-half the modified Action Number (round down).

Don't know about the character but I love the new Modifier.Maybe you should take any new Actions, Modifiers,Options,etc.and put them in the House Rules section with a new thread for each one or group of related ones.Just a suggestion. ;D

I actually only have a couple completely new actions/modifiers, but I do have may variations on existing actions/modifiers devised in attampts at shoring up the mechanics.

For instance, I have gone through the actions that have specialties and tried to give concrete rules for how they work. Also, I have split the energy absorption action into three, trying to make the mechanics of each clearer. Another example, I have come up with ways of handling leaping and throwing heavy things that I think work better than the rules as they are.

Are these things you think people might be interested in?

Always open to seeing new ways of doing things. ;D Although Bullseye has throwing rules in the House Rules section he can up with himself I'd loved to see what someone else's method is of doing it.
