Spirit Travel

Spirit Travel

__________________________________________
Class:     Mystical    Link:        Aura
Range:     Self        Type:        Auto
Base Cost: 20          Factor Cost: 2     

Description: This Power allows a Character to separate the spirit from their body. The spirit may travel at a speed equal to the Character's AP's of Spirit Travel. A separated spirit can only observe the physical plane and can make no attacks, but it can easily pass though any physical obstacles. A separated spirit is subject only to Mystical Attacks from the non-Spirit world while in this state. However, such a Character is subject to all normal effects (Physical, Mental and Mystical) from other Spirit Travelling Characters while in this state.

While the spirit is separated, a Character's body is left barely alive (it cannot move and possess no consciousness.) The body remains susceptible to Physical damage during this time (although the body's normal Physical defense remain active and the Character may burn Hero Points to remove inflicted damage.)

If a Character's body is destroyed while the spirit is separated, the spirit will be trapped in its free state and will begin to dissipated as the rate of 1 AP of Spirit per day until it dies (reaches a negative Spirit; a separated Character with a normal Spirit of 7 AP's would die upon reaching -8 AP's of Spirit.)

Dumb Luck

Dumb Luck

__________________________________________
Class:     Mystical    Link:        Self
Range:     Self        Type:        Dice
Base Cost: 200         Factor Cost: 7     

Description: This Power allows a Character to invoke unknown Mystical forces which cause the Character to be exceptionally fortunate in their actions, the use of which is the game equivalent of rubbing a rabbit's foot.

To use Dumb Luck, a Character must make an Action Check against their own Mystical statistics. The AV/EV is the APO's of the Power, while the OV/RV is the Character's own Infl/Spirit. RAP's form this Action Check, if any, may be added to the Character's AV, EV, OV or EV the following phase (Player's choice.) This effect occurs regardless of the type of the Dice Action that follows (attack, defense, clue analysis, Perception, etc...)

The Dumb Luck Power may be used cumulatively, adding the RAP's from one Dumb Luck attempt to the AV or EV of another  attempt; however, should a Character ever fail such a cumulative roll, the RAP's gained to that point will be subtracted from  either the Character's AV, EV, OV or RV (GM option) for the following phase. 

Example: A Character with Dumb Luck of 8 AP's and an Infl/Spirit of 7/6 wished to "get lucky" on their next Energy Blast attack. The Character makes an Action check sing 8/8 (their AP's of Dumb Luck) as the AV/EV and 7/6 (their Infl/Spirit) as the OV/RV. The Character rolls a 13, which provide them with an additional 4 AP's to utilize on either AV or EV next phase.

Plastic Man has this Power

Ed's Notes: So... to clarify something, by the book you can not divide the RAP's between AV, EV, OV and RV. You have to pick just ONE. Perhaps a useful, standard bonus would be that the Character would be allowed to divide the RAP's as they wish.

Source: 3rd Edition Rulebook, page 70



Ed's Notes: Two things... (1) I need an entry for generic animals. Can't believe I didn't do one yet. I could have sworn I did! And (2) I'm confused about that "Bonus," and how the Power is supposed to be defined. Because Aquaman's comes with the LIMITATION "only works on sea life." And if that was meant to apply only to his other Animal Powers, why isn't "applies to ALL sea-life," listed as a Bonus? What's more, Batman's Bat-Call Gadget has this power, again with the LIMITATION that it only works on bats. But... Is that really a Limitation? Seems like that's just how the power is DEFINED here. And I checked 2nd Edition, and it's the same. That first paragraph is word for word the entire description of the Power.
