Reform School Mutants
#99
I think what we have here is a failure to communicate.   Tongue

Your character still has too many CP's.  I will break it down for you...

As a Breed mutant you get 180cp's.

Physical Stats: Good 8+ Good 8+ Good 8+ Excellent 16= 40pts
Mental stats: Good 8+ Excellent 16+ Typical 5 = 29pts
Total: 69cp's

Powers:
Incredible 36 Prehensile Hair: Base 10+ Rank 36+ Overpowered 15 = 61pts
Excellent 16 Invisibility: Base 10+ Rank 16 = 26pts
Good 8 sound manipulation: Base 10+ Rank 8 = 18pts
Excellent 16 light absorption: Base 10+ Rank 16 = 26pts
Total: 131pts

Total thus far: 69pts + 131pts = 200pts

Resources (Rank number x2):  Typical 5 x 2 = 10cp's

Popularity??  Should always be 0

Talents:
Throwing weapons = 10
Detective/ Espionage= 5
Repair/ Tinkering = 5
Total 20pts

Contacts:
Crime/Law Enforcement = 5
Total: 5

Grand Total: 235

Even with the limitation you've given yourself of +40 points (which I will get back to) that's 180+ 40 = 220pts.

The Limitation:  Limitations and the number of points they grant are generally negotiated between the player and myself.  The limitation has to be a real limitation and not something negated, even partially by another power or ability.  Your Sound Manipulation is a power that will at least partially negate your limitation.  Someone tries to mute you with their power and you just use your power to try to stop them from muting you.  Or if you are gagged you change the ambient sound to sound like your voice to tell your hair to do something.  

The other side to the limitation is how many points is it worth.  The more often the limitation effects your character the more points you get.  What are the chances of you being muted in some way?  For example, Kryptonite would not give Superman as many CP's as someone who had a limitation to wood.  If you were to benefit from a Vocal limitation you would need to be obvious about needing to talk to your hair.  Much like Doctor Strange who speaks his incantations boldly and clearly, you would need to do the same.  No whispering to bypass the limitation and it would need to be in your voice.  To remove a Limitation is Expensive.

The examples on page 9 of the Players Book do not necessarily translate into CP's.  Those are examples of the maximum ranks to which a power may be raised to by limitations.  They may be used as examples of possible limitations though.

I hope I'm not discouraging you.  I can see your enthusiasm which would be great to add to the game.  Just remember that these are teenagers.  Just your Good Fighting is the equivalent of a Police Officer's training.  It's not impossible for a teenager to have a Good fighting but they must have gotten the training from somewhere.  Keep that in mind when assigning stats.

ABOUT US
A gaming group started in late 2005 when several members (from all over the world) came together on a long-running forum website called Plothook.net (formally known as Highmoon.net). Several games transformed from a by-the-book format to highly modified versions that became new hybrid systems with completely custom rules and abilities. Ten years later, these faithful players wanted to secure their work and their stories, becoming the basis of these forums.
