Gaian Knight (with Multi-Girl, King Cole III, and Harlequin in the main lobby) Gaian Knight gave an appreciated hmm, eyebrows rising over his goggles as he reached out to receive a small plate of food from a pair of floating marble hands. "Broadway's a heck of a goal," he said, spare hands making a shrugging motion before dropping themselves into his coat pockets. "It's good to aim high, though - we'll have to look forward to seeing the playbill!" "As for the party," he added, gesturing toward Multi-Girl, "you're very welcome, of course. It wouldn't really feel like the holidays without it, would it? Horses and drama notwithstanding, I suppose, but you can't put too many masks in a room without expecting something. And it's honestly good for the city to get everyone making connections - you'll never know when they come in handy."

Tiamat entering the lobby "It's fine," said Tiamat, waving one hand to dismiss the idea that it was important or an inconvenience. She would have, normally, stood quite tall - but in present company even her six-feet-plus didn't quite measure up and she was trying not to think about it. Nor think about turning back into a dragon to be properly large again. There wasn't room for that. Probably? Probably wasn't room for that. She chose to believe that her red Santa hat made up the difference, and would not be confirming. "People are still coming in, so we're still early," she pointed out. "Go forth, be merry, eat food. Don't get into fights or I'll step on you."

Gaian Knight lobby, with Harlequin, King Cole III, and Queenie "Bit by bit, as they free themselves from the press and everyone still arriving," the Knight confirmed. "I had to threaten some of them with Tiamat's appetite to get them to come in out of the cold." He paused, and grinned. "Tiamat's appetite for your food, not for the stragglers. Although...." He actually laughed, a proper full-chested kind of noise. "We may need better-advertised guidelines on our airspace," he mused, cocking his head to listen to the sound of it. "We do have a proper hangar up on level four, but it's not usually open to the public for all the obvious reasons. We'll have to add it to the list for next year; I certainly don't want to have to figure out what permits we'd need for me to extend it out past the building's footprint." He grinned again. "City officials aren't swayed when I tell them 'It's stable because it's magic, I promise,' as they shouldn't be."

Gaian Knight lobby The Gaian Knight chuckled, glancing back out toward the front doors. "We would have appreciated the heads-up, surprise or no, but if we couldn't handle a surprise or two we wouldn't last long here. After yours and Valkyrja's I just hope we don't get too many more - we'll run out of lawn space eventually!" He chuckled again at that but only seemed to be half-joking when adding, "I suppose I could put another level or two on it, but then their building might get nicer than ours...." He shrugged. "All the same - it's a pleasure to meet you, King Cole, surprise horses and all! We hope you enjoy the party."

Gaian Knight (moving from the entrance to the main lobby) The Gaian Knight had once more traded his dusty overcoat for something fur-trimmed and festive - or, at least, faux-fur-trimmed, for which his best friend had given him no end of grief - and a proper floppy Santa hat, which sat askew on his head as he rubbed his chin at all the arrivals. The limo, fine, cars and portals they'd known were coming and were well prepared for. A giant flying horse.... He laced his fingers together and cracked his knuckles, golden light shimmering behind his goggles as part of the lawn flexed apart. Off to the side, of course - away from all the comings and goings, but within line of sight of them - clean white stone grew out of the ground like a thing alive to shape itself into a rounded, grass-floored half-shelter of smooth, sweeping shapes and a storm-grey plaque of a rather majestic steed rampant. Tarrant would have liked to do better with more time, but maybe they should have guests RSVP their mounts and beastly companions next time.... "Well!" he said, clapping his hands together and turning toward those still arriving and milling around the entrance, "We won't stop you all from socializing but if you feel like coming out of the cold and the cameras, there's plenty of everything for everyone inside. Best to get it before the dragon shows up and eats it all!"

The sidekick post of the parent hero has been updated; this 'loose' copy of the sheet has been archived.

APPROVED!

APPROVED!

Quick clarification on the Murder Weapons complication: it says he can only use weapons he "has murdered with". Is that supposed to be "has been murdered with"? We do not, as a broad rule, have actively murderous PCs.... Otherwise, the only things I spotted are pure notation - the Enhanced Constitution is missing its point cost, and the Powers tally line lists the Regen at 29pp instead of 19pp.

Looks good! Only spotted a couple little math things, probably just issues carried forward from older versions of the build: You've shorted yourself slightly on initiative (with the +3 Dex) and Flat-Footed Defense (which rounds up, rather than down!). The Sand Revolver/Dust Devil's Touch/Snare currently have +10 attack (+4 Base, +6 Accurate), rather than +12.

I think I'm fine with that - simple, flavorful, and isn't out of line cost-wise with similar effects. Works for me! APPROVED!

I took the liberty of doing a formatting pass over this sheet to bring it into line with the character template; we aren't super strict with every detail of sheet formatting but especially for a sheet this complex it's worth having it in place to make the sheet more readable! It was strictly formatting, though - none of the actual content was changed. I have no concerns with the backstory, so on to the math! Surprisingly not very much math, either, especially for a sheet this fiddly. Well done! First things first: I'm not sure Taylor qualifies for the Normal Identity drawback. The problem of having no powers if her toys get taken away is already covered by the Hard-To-Lose flaw on the Device itself - no double-dipping allowed, I'm afraid! Combat Good news! Flat-Footed Defense is about the only thing in the system that rounds up; at +3 base Defense, Taylor would have +2 Flat-Footed. The downside though is that Dodge Bonus doesn't increase your Flat-Footed; Barrage would have a +2, Crusher a +1, and Swoop a +2. Uncanny Dodge saves your dodge bonus sometimes (e.g., when ambushed!) but not always (e.g., when someone feints an attack!), so you may want to adjust the other dodge bonuses to list the actual, non-Uncanny-Dodged flat-footed values in case it comes up (Shadow +2, Sprint +2). Shadow is also listed as having an Uncanny Dodge benefit on defense - but I don't see that in that suit's powers. With 8 Impervious Toughness and 2 non-Impervious Toughness, the Barrage form would enjoy a -9 Knockback Modifier. Saves Swoop's Toughness doesn't account for the +2 Protection the suit offers. It should just be a notation thing, though, the rest of the math (including costs) works out fine still. Powers The Shareable Wearables Feature seems like an attempt to side-step the Invention rules or imitate something like a Boost power - where did you get this construct from? I'm afraid our house rules ban Regeneration from the Unconscious condition, so the Crusher suit may need to put that point elsewhere. Something's gone a little sideways with the Enhanced Ability powers - Enhanced Ability costs 1pp/rank and increased the associated Ability Score by its rank. E.g., Enhanced Dexterity 6 would cost 6pp and add 6 to the character's base Dexterity. I think the math still works out so you aren't over- or under-paying anywhere, but the power ranks should be updated to match what you've paid for.

Yep, once fully reviewed it can just be copied & pasted over the old sheet. For now, here's your first APPROVAL!

I count 122 ranks of skills, rather than 120, but definitely double-check that. I count 16pp of feats, rather than 17pp, but again double-check my count. Double-check the rank on the second set of Super-Senses, though I believe the cost is correct.
