New Action: Superior Humanity

[Hypester]

Superior Humanity AKA The Power Earthly AKA Batmanness
Cost Level = Action Number + 10

Superior Humanity is a package action that is used by the character who has travelled the world learning large amounts of various skills. This action can be used in place of any human-achievable skill including but not limited to close combat, ranged combat, social skills, black ops, acrobatics, business skills, vehicle operation, ninja, technology, inventing, general knowledge, detective/pursuit/hunting/tracking and computers.

This is a great action for "powerless" characters who want to, eventually, be the epitome of human achievement. It is limited however, by being one action, but allows the character another kind of versatility. It's also a great action to give to engineered soldiers who are supposed to know a bit of everything.

Options:
-2 to cost level if inventing is unavailable

Rules for Action Box:
-Works as all human skill actions
-Cannot have at more than twice intelligence

Note: This was fun...

Cool. The Ultimate Multi-Action. Costs an arm and a leg, but gives you everything.

Wonderful idea! So, that's how Bats gets away with only 9 Actions ....

One reservation, though: should Ninja really be included? Personally, I think that the two-weapons ability included in that package is outside the realm of what Superior Humanity encompasses. Maybe there could be a +2 Option for "Ability Bonus and Weapon Modifier or 2 Weapon Modifiers". I know, that puts the Action at AN+12, but you could set the initial cost at AN+9 instead of +10 since you're not automatically getting Ninja, giving the "full package" a +11 cost. That would mean that you could still create a "normal" human character with straight 3's for Abilities, 4 Wealth to make him/her a self-made millionare, and (given 4 points in Challenges, like Obsession) still have enough points for a respectable 3 in the line-improvable Superior Humanity box, or a solid 5 without the 2-weapons option. Presto! Rookie Batman! Whatcha think?

I like it a lot... Ninja is beatly, huh? Makes great sense...

But that gives me a question...

Does Power Cosmic give you 2xmod# stones/panel because it encompases the phoenix force?

would there be an ability bonus for this action?
