I really dislike all the constant save points by adding Contingent modifier or other flaky limitations to everything.

Looking good,

Hopefully you have the formatting add-on for google docs to convert the end product to bbcode.

Nice way to find a home for them if they wish.

May I create a trapping for Divination that instead of predicting the future reads details from the past. I'd pay 2 extra PP per use to see a glimpse/single detail or most of or a whole scene with a raise? I like this. Especially for an investigator. I would be willing to do this as you describe. VV

You may also wish to add some trappings to your powers, or at least give them names.

For Divination a trapping that comes to mind is "Object Read" . Instead of asking a power for a clue you can get impressions from objects. Another option might be some sort of visions or precognition.

Looking good,

Not sure the free Edge for being Human can be used on attributes. However, it's just a simple matter of swapping the +1 die type and Charismatic edges. The end result is the same.

I tried something similar with Palladium Rifts way back in 2008, but I think I needed SW to make it work right.

Interface Zero is low powered compared to Rifts.

So, I imagine some of the stuff from that setting might be handy. I'll probably need a few "table rues" to help create the right feel.

I think I'll just do it with no modifiers. I'm confusing myself.

Fly - 2 points
Combat Reflexes - 2 points
Speed - 2 points
Wall Walker - 1 point
Super Skill (Shooting) - 1 point

All of that on the tactical system once it is put on, taking 1d4+1 rounds per the base item.

VV

Adjusted OP to have the power set as "slow to activate" - takes 1d4+1 rounds.

That should be clearer.

VV

Pender, I get what you are saying but not sure what you are proposing as an alternative. I see "requires attachment" which takes 1d4+1 rounds as a worse version of the "slow to activate" limitation. No powers are available until the item is attached. So they are all literally Contingent or slow to a...
