Heritage Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 If I bump Grim’s Glamour up to 6 for 2 pp, I should be able to add the following AP for another pp, right? Or is my math way off? I’m doing the vignette and finishing my survey, and hoping to get 4 pp for October, so I can do this and get my Equipment for the Interceptors. Alternate Power: Flight 3 (50mph, Drawbacks: Power Loss [Wings]) + Shrinking 8 (Tiny, Feats: Normal Toughness) [12PP]
Dr Archeville Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Yes and no. Going from Glamour 5 (10pp powers) to Glamour 6 (12pp powers) would cost 2pp. And adding another AP would cost 1 pp. But the build above is not 12pp. Flight 3 (Drawback: Power Loss) costs 5pp: 6pp for Flight 3, -1pp for the Drawback. Shrinking 8 (PF: Normal Toughness) costs 9pp: 8pp for Shrinking 8, +1 for the Power Feat. 5+9 = 14pp, not 12.
Heritage Posted October 27, 2009 Author Posted October 27, 2009 Ok, so if I drop Flight down to 2, that would be 4pp, -1 for the power loss, correct? That should bring me down to 12pp total.
Dr Archeville Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Correct, though remember the reduction in speed Shrinking inflicts. Shrinking 8 = Tiny = move reduced to 1/2 normal (in other words, you effectively lose a rank in any movement power, so you'd be operating at Flight 1).

It is very hard to build Tinker Bell on the cheap! :(
angrydurf Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Flight 1 is still 10 mph. Its probably still faster than bikeing around the city ;)
Sandman XI Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Correct, though remember the reduction in speed Shrinking inflicts. Shrinking 8 = Tiny = move reduced to 1/2 normal (in other words, you effectively lose a rank in any movement power, so you'd be operating at Flight 1).I thought movement power counteracted that. Like a duck waddles but flies pretty fast.
Dr Archeville Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 I thought movement power counteracted that. Like a duck waddles but flies pretty fast. Nope. Ducks fly fast b/c they have Flight. Even Flight 1 (10mph) would be cut to 5mph (assuming a Tiny duck) = 50 feet per round, which is faster than a person walks.
Heritage Posted October 27, 2009 Author Posted October 27, 2009 I'm still gonna do it, but it's gonna be a lot different than her old Pixie build who was insanely fast. Oh well, Flight is Flight; I can always increase it if I pump more into Glamour later.
Ecalsneerg Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Don't we charge 1pp for Normal Movement anyway?
Dr Archeville Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Don't we charge 1pp for Normal Movement anyway? The Normal Movement power feat, yes. But she didn't take that, so her Movement is reduced when shrunk.
Heritage Posted October 27, 2009 Author Posted October 27, 2009 The Normal Movement power feat, yes. But she didn't take that, so her Movement is reduced when shrunk. I might add Normal Movement and Normal Stength if I get Glamour up to 7 someday.
Heritage Posted October 28, 2009 Author Posted October 28, 2009 If I get as many pp as I think I might this month (I posted way more than I thought I had), I might go with this version, based of Glamour 7: Alternate Power: Flight 2 (25mph, Drawbacks: Power Loss [Wings]) + Shrinking 8 (Tiny, Feats: Normal Movement, Normal Strength, Normal Toughness)
