Archer21 Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 If a character already has Mega-Stamina(Resiliency) and also has the Sizemorph(Grow) power, do the additional dots to Stamina or Mega-Sta from SM(Grow) count towards the soak total of the Resiliency enhancement?Such as: Stamina 5Mega-Sta 2(Resiliency)SM(Growth) 2Normally, character has a bare bones soak of 7 bashing, 3 lethal. Character activates Growth, giving him 2 more dots to Stamina(which carries over into Mega-Stamina). Character should now have 9 bashing, 5 lethal soak. Is this correct?

ProfPotts Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 Stamina 5 = Bashing Soak 5 / Lethal Soak 2 (his base Soak scores)Mega-Stamina 2 = Bashing Soak +2 / Lethal Soak +1Resiliency doubles the Mega-Stamina bonus for a total bonus of +4 Bashing Soak / +2 Lethal Soak. Total Soak = 9 Bashing / 4 LethalMega-Stamina 4 = Bashing Soak +4 / Lethal Soak +2 (this is when his Sizemorph is active)The Resiliency Enhancement still doubles this bonus, for a total bonus of +8 / +4. Added to the base Soak that leaves him with a total Sizemorphed Soak = 13 Bashing / 6 LethalIt's a similar question to ask if bonus Mega-Str (from Sizemorph, Boost, or whatever) adds to the effectiveness of Enhancements such as 'Thunderclap' - & there's nothing to indicate that it doesn't.So, with no other powers or Enhancements or equipment this guy'd have a Soak of 9 Bashing / 4 Lethal normally, & 13 Bashing / 6 Lethal when 24 feet tall.

Turk Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 that's all cool, but how about extra bruised levels? u get 1 for each sizemorph grow, and what if the stamina bonus would add even more bruised levels? like u had 2 mega stamina so u'd get 1 extra bruised, and sizemorph is gonna give u 2 more stamina, which would normally give u another bruised...mace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Green Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 That is the upside and the downside to SM:Growth. You have 2 levels of SM:G, so you get +2 Bruised, and you get +2 M-Stam (which gives you another Bruised) for a total of +3. Since your M-Stamina went up by 2, your wound penaties went down by 2. This is great while you have it. But then it turns off, and all those bonuses go away, and if you were hurt before now you are really hurt.

ProfPotts Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 Hence Regeneration is very, very important for Sizemorph - Grow characters. ::sly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Green Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 If you want an extreme case: 5 dots of SM:G. Stamina 5 (no M-Stamina), Strength 1 (no M-Str).This person would grow to something like 200 ft tall and get M-Str = M-Stamina = 5. They would get +8 levels of bashing, and not notice when they were injured.And if they were ever knocked out, the 15 levels of bashing needed to do that would kill them when their power turned off. Similarly, they could have 7 levels of lethal damage on them and not know not to turn off their growth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turk Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 i don't like the whole 8x your height thing, i liked it better when it doubled your height for each dot. if a 5 foot dude can become 40 feet tall, with one dot, he should get a lot more than 2 strength, well as far as i'm concerned. when i play with my friends we still do the double your height way.mace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archer21 Posted June 5, 2003 Author Share Posted June 5, 2003 No no no...the double your height is still the same. It's your mass(weight) that goes by eight. So, under the original book, it's like this: 5 feet = 10 feet100 lbs = 200 lbsDoesn't make any sense, right? Why would someone who's 10 feet tall only weight 200 lbs?Now, under the revised rules:5 feet = 10 feet100 lbs = 800 lbsStill not perfect, but better.
