Wealth Equipment Bonus

[Jet]

Lately I've been browsing though my old RPG character list, from different worlds. Most are from Marvel, but there are DnD ones, Earthdown and many, many others and I decided to make CAD's for my favourites. You can already see two of them: Undead Zombie James McDonnel and Berzerker in Hellsing game

The point is, my next character is kinda tough to make with low stone count. Its not that he's too powerfull, couse he's a normal human with fairly not overpowered equipment, but still this guy is flawless- I cant think of many challanges, aside from low priced Vanity and Compulsion. The thing is, this guy is a peak human sportsman with Vulture-like wings. He's really wealthy and he got that stuff from "renting" worlds best inventor (Reed Richards in person, who was in dire need of cash at that moment).

Now here's the catch- I want to make that character with normal 40 stone count, no idea about giving him more challanges and low chance of buying stuff from wealth (at least- I dont thing I could buy enhanced Vulture wings by wealth).
I dont want to make PA (becouse it doesnt work that way) but I could still use Wealth bonus or discount.

Anyone knows a rule that could help me? Or make a rule specifically for that?

Just before you ask- taking option from PA "Wealth modifier = free stones" wont work, as it'll provide only a 4-5 stones at best.

Hay playah, i say use the vulture's flight harness and wings.
str, agl, spd, dur +2. CC +2. Flight 2. Razor wings +2 to CC.
27 white stones. It still gives you room for peek human abilities and a high wealth.
Hope i helped.

Not really helped, I already thought of that, but mine's different from his and after spending some time with that I could only get costs around 40+ , which is out of question (my character has a lot of skills and actions that requires stones).

You know, with such restrictions, I just can't seem to find a good idea. Sorry... (without challenges, it's pretty hard to make any character with anything more than medium scores in most things and a few good powers.)

The only way I can think off (and even I don't like it much) is to buy Flight as a power and pretend that it's an item... and that just doesn't sound right to me.

Damn, I gotta admit- this guy's is no newbie, so I guess it cant be done with that amount of stones. Maybe If I remodel his equipment into parts that could be paid for separately... oh well, maybe later.

Screw it! If he's been around for a few minutes and has a dozen actions and whatnot then make him the way he looks in your head. If you are the GM them it doesn't matter if it took 70+ sones to build the guy. He would be your NPC after all. If yu are not the GM...then I guess this guy isn't gonna get any table time unless you rework him down.
Have a good one!

Hey, I really like Skyshark (couse thats his hero name) and I'd like to use him one of these days. Oh well, I guess I just have to make him the way he should be, rather then following the original costs...

Oh well, I guess I just have to make him the way he should be, rather then following the original costs...

Totally agreed.
