Power Tricks

When a power affects a target, either as an attack or a resisted effect, a hero may use any of the Power Tricks below by describing the action and taking a –2 penalty to the active skill (or the victim adds +2 to his resistance roll if there is no active roll on the part of the attacker, like fear). If successful, the power works as usual and the Trick chosen from the list below is triggered as well.
Any effect may be used at any time with a good rationale and the Game Master’s permission—a character doesn’t have to choose the same effect each time. Exactly how it works is a matter of description. Lower Defenses might mean encircling the target in smoky blackness via energy control (darkness) so that he can’t see incoming attacks. A radiation blast (ranged attack) might cause dizziness (Lower Trait for Agility) or weakness (Vigor). Or an earthquake might setup a villain for a follow-up ranged attack. It’s all in the description.

• Delay: The victim must trade his current Action Card with the next character lower than him (he can’t trade with a character on Hold). If the victim already acted this round, the trade occurs on the following round unless the target gets the Joker (which negates the effect).
• Lower Defenses: The target’s Parry is lowered by 2 until his next action. This is simply a different way to successfully perform the Trick maneuver (see Savage Worlds), so it does not stack with a regular Trick.
• Lower Trait: One of the target’s attributes and all linked skills suffer a –2 penalty on his next action.
• Setup: Allies get a +2 bonus against the victim until his next action.
• Slow: The target’s Pace is halved on his next action.

'Omniscience' phased array mm-wavelength radar system - Can be worn or attached to armor; integrates with armor HUD or can be used via Interface
- Grants Awareness at 5pp level; counters most kinds of non-solid visual concealment and works in 360 degrees, negating gang-up bonuses
- Trapping is a highly detailed radar system that can be countered with normal radar countermeasures
- 50,000 credits

'Pond Hopper' Phase Jump armband - complex-looking electronic box with a strap that can be fitted to wearer's upper arm; must have hand to operate
- Grants Teleport with 24" range as power
- Has normal limitations for phase technology
- 100,000 credits

Armor
Naruni Personal Forcefield, +4 Armor (AP does not reduce), can be powered for 24 hrs, 1 hr recharge

ATEW (All-Terrain Electronic Warfare) Suit (patron item)
• +6 Armor and +2 Toughness
• Gain an additional +4 to resist, or +2 armor against, electricity, radiation, and ion attacks
• Full Environmental Protection
• No Strength Minimum. (8 lb)
Features:
• Built-in mini-computers for basic functions
• Communications system with a 10 mile range; double the range with Razor deployed.
• Public-address loudspeakers
• Thermal vision mode for vision
• Advanced targeting system gives +2 to ranged weapon attacks
• Memory-polymer membranes can be extended between arms and legs, causing suit to act as a Glide Suit
• Integrated frequency absorption razor
• • Razor is collapsible, so this light suit may be used as any normal light suit, which is to say it can be worn under clothes or even in power armor, though it does not stack with the power armor's toughness or armor. Razor must be deployed to be used. Cannot deploy if in a confined space like a PA suit or under cramped conditions.
• • Create radio interference at will; this imposes a -4 to any check to communicate with radios. Communication done without a check automatically fails.
• • Dampen electrical energy, causing attacks of that type to do only half damage within the area.
• • • Both effects occur within a Medium Burst Template.
• • You gain +2 to Notice and Survival checks to navigate.
• • You also gain +2 to Notice and Knowledge (Electronics) checks to locate the source of signals.

[Death Otter]

Death Otter was not born; she was made. Once a 'normal' human, albeit gifted already with prodigious intellect and a singular talent for computers and electronics, she underwent a surgical procedure to obtain implants somewhat similar to MOM implants on Earth, only vastly more advanced. Her entire central nervous system has been augmented as a consequence, giving her the raw computational ability of a computer while retaining the flexibility and versatility of the human mind, unimpeded.

Well, mostly unimpeded.

While the SEED implant is far smaller and less intrusive than its Rifts counterpart, the modifications made to her brain have inevitably affected her mind. Old social fears and anxieties melted away, the shallowness and idiocy of most human contact revealed in all it's glory, and Death Otter has the heady freedom of just not caring anymore. There's no more shame, no more guilt, no more pesky reservations or insecurities. There is only what she wants, what she is capable of, and what she's willing to risk or lose. Nothing else matters.

Fortunately, Death Otter is far more prone to mischief than malice...though her victims may not see it that way. She loves nothing more than bringing those who believe they are unassailable down a peg, especially in ways that expose their flaws for all to see.

[Death Otter]

Ah, there we go. Character engage!

[Tribe of One]

The most recent revision to MARS Super Soldier removed the Super Karma option, although you can get an extra 2 points (Base 12, +2 more) by taking some Negative Racial Abilities to represent being a mutant.

[Death Otter]

Ah, good to know! She is not a mutant, but the procedure that resulted in her unusual abilities definitely had some side effects.

Thanks for the tip!

That is an acceptable trapping/workaround. But it will need 3 point trimmed off the powers. Although you could take Growth Potential at both Novice and Seasoned making it only 1 point needing trimmed.

[Death Otter]

I already had Growth Potential at both of those, so I did still have to trim 3 points.

Dropped Malfunction. It's cool, but I can maybe buy it later with some more Growth Potential. That or just try to use Interface and possibly Interface tricks to accomplish similar tomfoolry.

[Ndreare]

...
I looked at SFC, SPC2 (Malfunction) and IZ for ideas. This is what i am thinking is fair for on the fly attempts to take hack a robot and give it a new command:

• Labor bots -2 (expected to take 1d6 turns - GM rolls time)
• Security bots -6 (expected to take 1d6+2 turns - GM roll time)

This is based off of the default -6 required to override Asimov circuits and the standard 1d6 turns for a non-combat action allowed in combat.

* Military bots would be much harder with very high internal security systems.

We can refine this later as I think this will be a thing you will be hoping to do lots of.

[Ndreare]

Lets go with 50,000 for the Awareness optics. Your choice built into a separate optics piece or added to existing helmet.

(I based this on a 10K per power point wag. Even then it feels cheap, but the 10K for 2 power points feels ridiculously under-priced.)

[Death Otter]

Nice, I'll buy that!

What about a phase jump teleport device? I'm picturing it as a sort of armband. Call it Teleport with one level of Range, costing 5pp, and able to teleport the wearer up to 24" at a time.

Base item, um...not sure off the top of my head, hehe. Not super important offhand...I'll think of something.
