Hi everybody,
I was trying to create a way to make a character based on Mega Attributes (or a single Mega Attribute) to be more XP efficient using the same approach as the Power Suites.
My idea is you can add the Technique Mega Edge to a Mega Attribute and for each dot in the Mega Edge you gain the Mega Attribute dots in Mega Edge dots related to that Mega Attribute.
For example, a Mega Might 2 Quantum 3 Nova can buy the Technique Mega Edge related to Mega Might, and for each dot in that it’s possible to pick 2 dots of Mega Edges that are related to Mega Might. In this case the Nova got Technique 2 and so could buy 6 dots of Mega Edges related to Mega Might, Mega Crush (1), Mega Lift (1), Quantum Leap (2). If buys one extra dot of Mega Might, the Nova could get 2 more dots of Mega Might related a Mega Edges, for example Shockwave (1) and Thunderclap (1).
This will reduce the general cost of mega edges without unbalance their costs to other Nova Traits, and make the Attribute based Novas more versatile. In this example, the total XP cost dropped from 72XP (6 x 12) to 48XP (4 x 12), or 108XP (9 x 12) to 60XP (5 x 12) if Mega Might is increased to 3.
There are a few extra rules:
A each Mega Edge can’t have a cost higher than the Mega Attribute dot, even if the available dots are more than the total. For example, you can’t buy Technologist (2) as a technique of Mega Resolve, if you have 1 dot of Mega Resolve, even if you have Technique 2. Basically, each dot of Technique Mega Edge grants a different setting to the mega attribute, and those sets must be independent.
If a Mega Edge may use more than one Mega Attribute as requisite, any of the related Mega Attributes can pick it, but it must be part of a single Mega Attribute Suite, you can’t buy 2 Dots of Mass Influence from a Mega Manipulation Suite and 3 more from a Mega Presence suite, for example.
There are a few Mega Edges that have no Mega Attribute related, those Mega Edges could be part of any Mega Attribute Suite, as long it makes sense, for example adding Toughness to Mega Might seams legit (“my muscles are Mega hard, check it out”), but adding Animal Mastery may need some better explanation (“my brute might can be sensed by the animals, that see me as an alpha, worth to be followed for protection”).
The Technique Mega Edge can’t be bought as part of a suite, as it would create a infinite loop (just to be clear, if it was not before).
As power suites, they are copied and disrupted as a single power.
