you have done well for a new poster I aprove
Svartalf- if Cherico were a character created in a point game system, he'd have all his scores in geeky skills and his youtube and weird net stuff schticks all paid through a a Terminal Bad Luck (with more nasty GM intervention) disadvantage, and probably an Uncouth (can not have social skills) disad as well...

Great job with the power you should pick up Heroes Unlimited 2


Thanks

Is there a TK power in the HU 2 book? One that isn't just a psionic power that requires ISP? I haven't got the book, but have been meaning to for a while now.


Nope, but that's definatly a great add on.

It's a good effort, but since you can have psionics and super abilities, its not really needed. And some of the abilities have been made in Powers Unlimited One or even the main rule book.
TK force field = Create Force Field
TK flight = Flight: Wingless
TK Blast = Force Blast or EE: Force (Both in Powers 1).


Yeah, I know, but I wanted a super ability, not a psionic power with a finite amount of ISP.

Create Force Field, Wingless Flight, and EE: Force are all individual powers that are are more powerful or more useful than the semi-powers available through my TK power. They're like dumbed down versions of what you listed, simple and puny by comparison, but not useless by any means.


I don't know... I kinda like keeping TK as a psionic power. After all, as thegama pointed out you can get psionics AND super abilities in the same character (have one such PC in my Loralton campaign at the moment, in fact) so it's not like you can't use TK as it is.

Also (as thegama also pointed out), there are a number of powers out there that can be taken normally and written up as the character having an 'advanced' form of TK.

It's not that this is a bad effort or a crappy result (it's not either), but I just don't think it's worth adding to the already large number of powers out there.

YOU ARE. PU1 has a minor power called tractor beamand Pu2 has a MaJor Power called Directed Force that's basically telekenesis(it lets you move things around and make a fore blast, but that 's it.
Damn ICE/BCP/BorderPatrol! Damn everyone who won’t damn ICE/BCP/Border Patrol!! Damn everyone that won’t put lights in his windows and sit up all night damning CE/BCP/BorderPatrol!!!
If you support ICE/BCP/BorderPatrol at this point, you would have called the Gestapo on the people surreptitiously moving into your neighbor's attic and huffed that you were only following the law.
