I think in order to reflect the power level of the setting everyone should take an extra free stunt. What do you all think?
I think a player is foolish to turn down more power that they can get into trouble with. :)

Indeed.

@Qralloq Go ahead and take that extra stunt.

Also, one of the aspects you have to pick is a relationship aspect with another pc.

I'm going to use the Tomorrow Legion story idea from Savage Rifts. It's a growing army of heroes based in a fortress called Castle Refuge located in what was once Northern Arkansas. As members of the Tomorrow Legion you'll be sent on missions to help the local population, investigate strange occurrences, and combat fearsome menaces from the rifts.

@Qralloq Is Cassiopeia human?

Can you allow me to submit custom sheets.

Let's make her a DBee, but really close to human except seemingly ageless.

For relationships, I'll describe her for the rest of you, and maybe we can figure that out when we all have PCs fleshed out.

Cassiopeia Canon was blown into Earth, during an operation against the Splugorth colony on her world. The resulting rift sucked her into the ocean off of North America, where she was forced to swim for shore. A running fight against a tribe of cannibals consumed the next four days, and when she arrived in what passed for a city, she was exhausted, confused, and half dead. She was nursed back to health and joined the tutelage of Lord Coake in his battle against the Coalition States.

Now, years later, she has left for Castle Refuge, and seeks to spread the Code of Chivalry against the encroaching forces that seem destined to overwhelm the fragile Earth.

How many points do we use for creation ?
May 1, 2022 3:17 pm
5 aspects, the skill pyramid, four stunts and your refresh is 3.

Quick question: If I wanted a stunt that made me better at seeing hidden/invisible/out of phase things, what would be the best way to phrase that?

I-So almost died as a child but his parents had enough money to pay to get him a new body made of Ice.

This elemental affinity grea on him as he grew up, Elementals of any kind though especially Ice.

Because I can See the Invisible I get a +2 bonus to detect hidden/invisible/out of phase creatures and objects.
May 1, 2022 3:47 pm
OK. The rules made it sound like I had to pick a stat and limitation to go with it.

- Are there special skills for Ley-Line using or finding ?
May 1, 2022 4:00 pm
First you should use it in your High Concept aspect. Ley Line Walker is fine. Then we can flavor some of your skill use as using it. Then you should pick some stunts that work with the idea. A ley line walker can cast spells similar to a Wizard. They are known for being able to sense ley lines and their energy, and being able to glean information about the ley line when in contact with it. They can travel along ley lines in a sort of out of phase state, and teleport along them as well. They can create magical armor around themselves when in contact with a ley line. They can create dimensional portals using ley lines. Any of these can be stunts you build. Also, you can choose more than four stunts, but each one you pick over four will cost you a point of your refresh, which can't go below zero.

Come to think of it we're supposed to link it to a skill. Let's say: Because I can See the Invisible I get a +2 bonus to detect hidden/invisible/out of phase creatures and objects using Notice.

@KoldikSteelskin I see you've started a character. Really cool concept. Is I-So a techno-wizard creation? A combination of technology and magic?
