Basic Action Super Heroes!

Dr. George James Sinclair arrived in Centropolis in 1973 to become an interim professor of history and comparative religions at the prestigious University of Centropolis. The vacancy was created by the death of an old friend who was secretly the mentor of Arcana from the Original Centurions. Dr. Sinclair who was already a professor emeritus of Oxford University and effectively retired at the time replaced his old friend at one of his last requests. Dr. Sinclair continued mentoring Arcana until her departure for her last adventure. Three years ago, the media identified him as a hero when one of the local gangs summoned something from the very depths of hells and the fight became very public. Today, his university courses are the most popular, and his brownstone townhouse receives many requests for magical aid.

Secret: Dr. George James Sinclair is actually Scottish anthropologist Sir James George Frazier (1854 - 1941) author of the Golden Bough. The celebrity book made him a relative rogue of the secretive wizard's community. He covered his "death" using a shapeshifting spell and the chaos of the war to change his identity to a young Sinclair. He never admits his age, but his official documents average it around 70. While certainly not immortal, his dedicated practice of the magical arts have extended his life expentecy by a couple centuries.

Is that how the multipower works? Plus 2 every different type? I thought it was only +2 once then +1 for additional.

I think that by the book it is +1 per extra power in the same category, and +2 per extra power in a different category.

I have toyed with the idea of having it be just +1 per extra power, plus an extra +1 per extra category, so if you had multiple powers from a second category, you'd only pay the "category tax" once.

Of course, the new book Bashman is working on is going to change that a bit, by defining thematic collections of powers, and powers that share a theme will apparently have a cost of +1 per multipower slot, regardless of their categories. But that isn't out yet and we don't have all the details on how it will work.

Thanks for the pick-up and explanation. I've edited the original post with corrections and points to equal 40 total.

cheers

nicely done , you may also want to make notes of which configuration you typically use your variable powers to speed play

Thanks. Yes, we so many variables, I'll have a notes page.

What can you create with Conjuration 5 with the special effect being magic items, like flying carpet in the UE book? What about these?

Cloak of Flying. Flight 3

Slippers of Spider Climb. Clinging

Helm of Communication. Omni-Reader & Linguist

Crystal Ball. Clairvoyance (past, present, future)

Cloak of Etherealness. Ghost Form 3

Pearl of the Ocean. Immunity to suffocation & Super-swimming 2

Vest of Elemental Protection: Immunity to fire, cold & lightning

Wand of Healing. Healing 2 (affects others)

I've been watching Avenger's Earth Mightiest Heroes and went a little Asgardian lately. Please tell me what you think.

A little more Asgardian
