Barnum Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 Thayan, 1. Saves: 17pp Toughness: +10 (+3 Con, +7 Coat) Fortitude: 3/Con +6/4pp = +9 Reflex: 3/Ref +6/4pp = +9 Will: 4/Wis +5/4pp = +9 I'm not sure what the "/4pp" means. It looks like you are buying all of your saves up to +9, which is 17 PPs. To make it clear, please edit your sheet to something like what you have for your Toughness save: Toughness: +10 (+3 Con, +7 Coat) Fortitude: +9 (+3 Con, +6 Ranks) Reflex: +9 (+3 Dex, +6 Ranks) Will: +9 (+4 Wis, +5 Ranks) 2. (Supernatural) +* (4) In MnM Knowledge (Arcane Lore) is the skill that includes knowledge of the Supernatural. Also, to decrease confusion, could you use the standard format for listing skills: Skill Name: Rank (+Total Modifier, including ability) So "Concentration, +8 (+5)" becomes "Concentration 5 (+9)" And it is best not to include situational bonuses (like Attractive) with your skill modifier total to avoid confusion. 3. *** Nullify is intended to be a defensive use to by some tiem for escaping. I understand its potential for abuse but its intent is more for story based ideas of getting away instead of used offensively. Then to avoid the possible label of "abusive," why don't you drop the Nullify completely, and just spend that PP on a rank of Luck (Used for Escapes)? That way you can use the HP for an instant counter, auto stabilize, recovery, or to alt power the magical array in your rod into whatever you need to escape. 4. Costs: Abilities (36) + Combat (26) + Saves (17) + Skills (28) + Feats (15) + Powers (8 ) +Equipment (20pp) - Drawbacks (0) = Total Cost (150) Go ahead and move those 20 points from Equipment to Powers to be clear. Your rod isn't "equipment," which in MnM uses a different set of rules than Devices (which are powers).
