Awesome Powers #3 Preview

Post by BASHMAN »

Here is some more about Awesome Powers #3 regarding some creative use for Phasing powers:
Skillful Phasing
Cost: Level (1) pts Based On: N/A
By phasing and partially materializing inside what you are working with, you can work much more efficiently.
Mechanics: This power allows you to use your Phasing power to accomplish some incredible feats of skill. Note that without Skillful Phasing, the Narrator may still consider your Phasing ability to be beneficial for the use of some skills, but in these instances will just assign a Moderate or Major Benefit. Skillful Phasing goes above and beyond this. Below is a list of possible uses of Skillful Phasing. Each one counts as a separate 1 point power.
Each use has its own full description, but here is a teaser of what's available:

Phasing Fixer (aids in making repairs / jury-rig / sabotage)
Phasing Picklock (aids in opening locks, disabling traps)
Phasing Hacker (be a ghost in the machine)
Phasing Phantom (when you are insubstantial, no one can hear you)
Phasing Physician (aids in removing bullets, etc. without surgery)

This is great. This is just the thing to stunt when your Ghostform character slips into the ground and can't get out. Ghost-Climbing!

*, these are some great add ons.

Is there anything in there that lets a phased character attack non-phased characters?

Yes, please! This would make a very cool, and dangerous, enhancement for Ghost From!

There will be an Enhancement called "Ghost Strike" and it is 2 points to reflect how strong it could be.

Of course, clever Heroes know that when facing a Phasing villain using Ghost Strike to seemingly attack them with impunity, there is always a means to get around it.

There is a power called "Ghost Buster" that is a special attack specifically designed to affect Ghost Form.

However, any Hero can use a Power Stunt (and some creative comic-book logic) to temporarily gain the ability to harm a character in Ghost Form. A particularly fun team-up attack might involve something along the lines of "Quick, if we re-modulate the frequencies of our attack to be on the same wavelength we should be able to affect him... it just might work". Or you may just have to cross the streams...

Ghost strike and Ghost Buster. Well, these are only two of the great reasons to get AWESOME POWERS 3!

Force and Gravity Powers, I believe (at least partially because I just received art for my character who will be appearing in that book ^_- ).
