Chance (Dark Champions - New Venice)

______________

Luck and misfortune are far too high. (60 points worth)

I thought that was resultant cost. This is my first time actually using the Hero book for something other than squashing large bugs. Is that total for all powers or the maximum cost of the power before limitations? Because I thought it was the maximum for the total cost of a single power, but appears I was wrong. _______________

No problem. It is 50-points AFTER you add advantages and BEFORE limitations. And Always on is not always a Limitation. Always lucky is actually an advantage. Always stuck at 20ft tall, thats disdvantage. Plus piont based system make it easy to intentially or intentionally abuse the rules. Which is why a GMs role in character creation is more vital than in D&D.(which occasionally a DM has to say No 1st level character with vorpal swords.)

See, I was thinking that Luck (always on) was going to be something like placing a large lever on my back called, in case plot is not advancing as you wished it would. As well as a good reason for the overconfidence. Need someone to stumble in to the bad guys hide out or find the clue we've been missing. But I can see ___________________

Understand. Usually such things arise when there is a less than perfect GM or the players are playing at less than 110%. I have heard of such things happening ;)

Well if there is such a need I could always use Chance's theme as an excuse as GM's perogative. He also needs a heftier offense. Maybe a few DCs in martial Arts, to get up to 9-10d6

Suggestions?

Try coming up with powers that can simulate what he can do, like Energy blast indirect for random falling objects. Dex drain for stumbling, mind control for a dumb guard buying that dumb story, ect.

Just because you the player can control the effect, does not mean the character does.
