Mafia Whale Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) Weekend Man Power Level:10 (150/150PP) Unspent Power Points: 0 Tradeoffs: +5 Dodge / -5 Toughness In Brief: A man with limited HydroGeometric Kinises, but a mind to Make it work. Alternate Identity: Roland Bream (private) Birthplace: Austin, Texas Occupation: Game Designer Affiliations: N/A Family: Olivia (mother), Maria (sister) Description: Age: 24 (DoB: 1993) Apparent Age: 24 Gender:Male Ethnicity: Caucasian Height:6’5” Weight:210 Ib. Eyes:Grey Hair: Brown A tall caucasian male with Bluish clothes and a mask to cover the lower half of his face. He has a large pack to which he holds his water javelins and hammer. His prominent tower shield is crystal clear and only shows minor signs of movement, looking like distorted glass. His glasses have blue opaque lens, hiding his grey eyes. History: Roland was a student at Freedom U when his powers awoken, much to his detriment. As he wanted to finish his education first, he kept the power hidden. However, he was heroing on the weekends, hence his title. Once he graduated, he sought a job at a software firm before becoming more active. He never knew his father, and his mother claims that he is the genetic father of both him and his sister, in spite of there 8 year diffrence. His sister may also be a metahuman. Personality & Motivation: A relaxed man, with a jovial and fun loving attitude with an especially sharp mind. He has a tendency to space out when things do not interest him and will go on about his favored subjects for hours on end if given the opportunity. Powers & Tactics: He has the power of Hydrogeometric kinesis, the power to form water into hardened geometric shapes. Once they are done shaping, gravity takes hold and they become interactable as if they were solid. They are limited by actually needing water, as Roland cannot generate any on his own. That said, Roland knows how to provide water, carrying a large amount of water bottles on him. He is also a planner, prefering to go in when the advantage is his. In combat, he is dangerous at range with his water javelins, and will do well in melee with his water hammer too. On the defense, he wields a massive tower shield to great effect. Power Descriptions: He is a hydrokineticist, but limited in his capacity to making existing water in hardened geometric shapes, of which he can fuse together. He cannot generate new water, and he cannot manipulate them beyond fusing and making them with his powers, however he can interact with them as if they were solid objects, as they truly are. Others can also interact with them as if they were solid objects. An example is that he cannot command water to fly through the air by waving his hand, but he create a water "javelin" by fusing a water cylinder with a water cone, and a water hammer with a pair of cylinders, a long one, and a stocky one. He can also cuff or snare someone by forming geometry around their wrists. Complications: Attention defi...what is that sound?: He has a tendency to lose focus on a task at hand. I CAN-HAHAHAHAHA: Prone to strange laughing fits about the most asinine things. You require more water to construct that!: Requires water to fuel his powers. Relationships: Maria is currently attending a school in Freedom City. He sees her on occasion, mostly to annoy her on a mission from their mother. His mother is also alive and well back in Austin, planning on retiring soon to the nearby Wimberly.

Avenger Assembled Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 Abilities: 10 + 3 + 8 + 18 + 0 + 2 = 41PP Strength: 20 (+5) Dexterity: 13 (+1) Constitution: 18 (+4) Intelligence: 28 (+9) Wisdom: 10 (+0) Charisma: 12 (+1) It's not really worth it having odd numbers in your abilities - you're better off putting that PP on Dexterity elsewhere. Combat: 10+10 = 20PP Initiative: +6 Attack: +5 Melee, +5 Ranged Defense: +13 (+5 Base, +3 Dodge Focus, +5 Shield), +3 Flat-Footed Grapple: +9 Knockback: -2 The math here holds up - but look out for my comments about your Defense below Saving Throws: 5 + 8 + 15 = 28PP Toughness: +7 (+4 Con, +2 Armor, +1 Defensive Roll) Fortitude: +8 (+3 Con, +5) Reflex: +10 (+2 Dex, +8) Will: +16 (-0 Wis, +16) Will save numbers are off - note that a PL 10 character can't have saves more than +15. Skills: 60R = 15PP Bluff +13(3pp) Knowledge(pop culture) +21(3pp) Knowledge(tactics) +21(3pp) Knowledge(technology) +21(3pp) Notice +12 (3pp) Not sure what happened here! Skills should be written (skill rank) (skill rank+modifier) - so a character with WIS 14 (+2) and 8 ranks of Notice would write his Notice 8 (+10). Hydrogeometirckinesis (Element control 24; Extras: Move action Flaws: Needs water, Unreliable, Noticeable Alternate Powers:Water Javelin, Water Club, Water Geometry, Water Wall)[30] (Water, Kinetic) Base Power: Create Object 1 (Water geometry; Flaws: Needs Water) {1/r} (Water, Kinetic) Alternate Power: Blast 10 (Water Javelin; Extras: Accurate, Ricochet; Flaws: Needs Water) {10} (Water, Kinetic, Ballistic) Alternate Power: Strike 6 ( Water Club; Flaws: Needs water) {6} (Water, Kinetic) Alternate Power: Shield 5 (Water Wall; Flaws: Needs water) {5/r} (Water, Kinetic) OK, this is probably the big problematic area. Needs Water is not a good flaw - your character will be powerless in half his threads and that's not something you'd enjoy. Keep that as a Complication and a good source of HPs. You should move Shield out of the array and buy it separately - you should never put your Defense in your array. You'll need to write out the math for the array powers once you get them squared away - take a look at our sample sheets here. http://www.freedomplaybypost.com/start/sample-characters/
Avenger Assembled Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 You don't need to pay for Cellphones and mundane equipment by our house rules. The big thing is that you need to get your character up to offensive caps too - remember, you should be at ATK+DMG /2 = 10 for a PL 10 character. You should honestly have fewer flaws and drawbacks on your sheet - a lot of these are either better left as Complications or should be changed up in other ways. You should write your powers more like this: Shield 7 [7PP] HydroGeometric Kinesis 12 (24PP Array, PF: Alternate Powers 3) [27PP] BP: Move Object X AP: Blast X AP: Create Object X AP: Damage X
Fox Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 Abilities This character is markedly superhumanly intelligent - was that intentional? For comparison, an ability score around 20 is generally considered "peak human" - with highly specialized human characters maybe peaking barely over that (our own Common Benchmarks thread notes that Tony Stark, perhaps the best mortal inventive mind of his age, is probably sitting around 22-24 INT - and his whole thing is being super-smart, with everything else thematically descending directly from that). Characters with Intelligence closer to 30 typically have some kind of explicitly superhuman brain (or similar effect) to justify it as a major thematic piece of their character. Combat You're short-selling yourself on Grapple - with a melee attack bonus of +6 and a strength bonus of +5, this character can't do worse than a +11 bonus. Saves Double-check the math on your exotic saves (fort, reflex, will) - looks like they're using ability bonuses from an older version of the sheet. Powers For ease of bookkeeping, please provide the pp tally at the top of the powers section, per the template. It really comes in handy when doing edits or later reviews or the like - for you as well!

It really comes in handy when doing edits or later reviews or the like - for you as well! I took a look at some of the stuff you mentioned, and did some fixes. I made the abilities more in line with the fluff of the character, and the new change to grapple is lower due to lower strength. Also yeah I overlooked Saves when editing this. Also put total pp spent on Powers into math format for ease of use.
Fox Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 Double-check the saves again - Fortitude's still a little wonky.
