I need help creating temporal powers for my time control character

[Jlerpy]

So what kind of help are you hoping for?

For some reason he edited that part out.

I caught this thread before that though, and he wants to be able to age and de-age people. Which I'm pretty sure is at least mostly just a descriptor on whatever status-affliction powers you feel best represent that kind of thing.

[warkar]

I got self conscious and jumped the gun in terms of editing it, sorry. But yeah I've researched and figured out most of the stuff I want to do but the true age-shifting of myself and others is what I'm having the most trouble with

[Kid Jake]

Sounds like it would just be some form of Morph/Metamorph plus an alternate version with the Attack extra to shift traits around to represent turning younger or older.

[warkar]

ok cool thats what I figured I just wasn't sure. The other question I had was if its possible to make a temporal loop type of power aka a groundhog affect or is that pretty much impossible for a PC because it would be an X trait power, if it is possible how would I go about making it?

[Sith_Happens]

Depends on what you want it to do in practice. If the idea is "I'm good at [X] because I can keep trying it over and over until it works," that's just a descriptor. If you actually want to be able to say "It is now yesterday," forget about it. Theoretically you could build that power, but in an actual game you could never afford it.

[Kid Jake]

Humorously enough, taking Super Movement: Temporal Movement (24 Hours ago) with the Attack, No Saving Throw and Disease extras could repeatedly send an opponent to the exact same moment in time indefinitely until they find some way to break the cycle. It wouldn't keep them from killing themselves (or aging), but you could probably make a power that keeps bringing them back once a day and/or halts their aging pretty easily too.

Of course that's the exact kind of power abuse that DMs are just supposed to say no to.


It would help to know what you want to accomplish with the power though.

pretty much what you just said although I had the idea of making it a mental or Will based attack so it would only send their mind back to their body 24hrs or whatever ago

ps: My GM is cool with me having temporal movement I just have to be careful how I use it

[Kid Jake]

Should be enough to just throw in the Mental extra/flaw, not positive though.

If my figurin' is right then it should be: Super Movement: Temporal Movement(24 hours ago) 1 Rank (Extras: Attack, Increased Range(Perception), Mental, Disease, No Saving Throw, Incurable) 10pts.

If you don't like somebody then you can sit them in a corner for eternity to think about what they've done.

lol, thank you all for your help I appreciate it alot

[Kid Jake]

No problem. M&M is really easy to break over your knee if you're not careful, so make sure your DM is ok with an ability that powerful for such a low cost before you try and use it.

[warkar]

cool, now when I create a power do I apply the extras,flaws and feats to all the effects in the power individually or just the power as a whole

[Kid Jake]

Are you talking about the Alternate Power feat? Or Linked powers, or...?

[warkar]

Like when you create a power from scratch by combining effects, so I guess that would be linked powers i guess that I'm asking about unless there's a better option
