Poltergeist , need some help and advice Please

Post by Darren »

Hi this PC is for a pretty dark setting.

Back story.
He was killed when he went to the aid of a woman being assaulted. The muggers stabbed him without a 2nd thought and he died hearing her screams for help as he reached out weakling to help her.

He come back a vengeful Poltergeist that float thought the streets at in the dark hours attacking all that would harm others or break the law.

---
He only appears when the sun sets and fade out when the sun raises. He can not speak or touch anything.

I am a little concerned that he might be a bit to powerful as nothing physical can harm him. any suggestion please ?

One issue I see is by the rules, you can only get a 1-pt discount for all of your Limitations on a power. The way I handle this in Bachcreator.net is to write my additional Limitations into the first Limitation text.

You also need to have Invisibility 5 that is always turned on based on your description, which would be expensive.

Even still he isn't immune to all harm. Someone with a weapon that affects ghosts or energy (like fire) will still hurt you.

You might also consider taking a Vulnerability weakness of a specific thing that harms you (like holy ground or something).

On BASHcreator.net, there is a limitation called 'Custom (-2pts)' that will let you add a Limitation to a power that's worth -2 points to the power's cost. (Of course, it better be a really crippling limitation, like putting 'Only works when no one is looking' on Invisibility.)

Otherwise, BASHcreator follows the rule that you can only get a total -1 pt break on a power for multiple Limitations, no matter how many Lims you add.

Thank you both for taking the time to reply and I am sorry for the delay in reply *life, it gets in the way ;)*

I have taken your advice and rules clarification on board and reworked him accordingly. I do believe it is a improvement, thank you :) . I made his weakness UV light ie day light which is why he poofs out of existence during the day. But with tech these days a UV torch or even just a sun bed will hit him hard.
