In my mind this limits the value of the fact that conceptually "it can be taken with a successful grab manuver". m-12 Change Environment (Light) (2000" rad.); Effect: Fixed, +0; Reduced END: Zero, +½; OIF - Cosmic rod: -½ 0 m-12 12d6 Energy Blast; Range: 450; Versus: ED; Reduced END: Zero, +½; OIF - Cosmic rod: -½ 0 m-12 Force Field (30 PD/30 ED); Reduced END: Zero, +½; OIF - Cosmic rod: -½ 0 u-11 Force Wall (13 PD/13 ED); Range: 485; Width: 19", +0; Reduced END: Zero, +½; OIF - Cosmic rod: -½ 0 u-12 Telekinesis (STR 44); Range: 495; Manipulation: Coarse, +0; Reduced END: Zero, +½; OIF - Cosmic rod: -½ 0 u-12 33" Flight (NC: 66"); Non-Combat Multiplier: ×2, +0; Non-Combat (MPH): 98; Reduced END: Zero, +½; OIF - Cosmic rod: -½ 0 2 Flash Defense (Sight, 5 pts); OAF - WWII tank goggles: -1 Cost Skills, Talents, Perks Roll 19 Jiu-Jitsu (3) Slam (OCV +0, DCV +1, 2½d6+v/5) (5) Choke Hold (OCV -2, DCV +0, Grab, 2d6 NND) (3) Sacrifice Throw (OCV +2, DCV +1, 2½d6) (4) Disarm (OCV -1, DCV +1) (4) Escape (OCV +0, DCV +0, STR 28) 12 +4 level w/Cosmic rod 1 Acting 8- 3 Breakfall 12- 1 Bureaucratics 8- 2 City Knowledge: Opal City 11- 3 Conversation 12- 1 Criminology 8- 1 High Society 8- 6 Knowledge Skill: memorabilia 15- 6 Knowledge Skill: Collectibles 15- 3 Knowledge Skill: Superhero history 12- 3 Contact: Opal city police; Usefulness: Very, +1 11- 4 Contact: Ted Knight (Starman I, dad); Usefulness: Extremely, +2 11- 2 Contact: Shade; Usefulness: Normal, +0 11- 5 Contact - Justice Society; Usefulness: Incredibly, +3 11- 4 Contact - Justice League; Usefulness: Incredibly, +3 8- 2 Limited Local Police Powers (in Opal City) 2 Professional Skill: Dealer in Collectibles 11- 1 Seduction 8- 2 History 11- 3 Streetwise 12- 9 Trading 15- 100+ Disadvantages 5 Distinctive Features - body art; Concealability: Easily, 5; Reaction: Noticed and Recognizable, +0 10 Hunted by the Mist (8-); Capabilities: As Powerful, 10; Non-combat Influence: None, +0; Geographical Area: Unlimited, -0; Actions: Hunting, ×1; Punishment: Harsh, 0 20 Normal Characteristic Maxima 20 Code Against Killing (Common, Total) 15 In Love with sadie (Common, Strong) 15 Protective of Opal City (Common, Strong) 10 Public Identity 15 Dependent NPC - son (Incompetent, 8-); Skills: Normal, +0 5 Reputation - Defender of Opal City (8-) OCV: 4; DCV: 4; ECV: 5; Mental Def.: 0; Phases: 3, 6, 9, 12 PD/rPD: 36/30; ED/rED: 36/30 Costs: Char.: 70 Disad.: 115 Powers: + 228 Base: + 100 Exp.: + 83 Total: = 298 Total: = 298 Height: 186cm (6'1"), Weight: 80kg (176 lbs), Sex: Male Appearance: 20-something, with dark wavy hair, a little mussed by the wide, thick black goggles he wears on top of his head. His eyes are blue. He sports long, well groomed sideburns and a short goatee. Both ears are pierced, with silver hoops, as is one eyebrow. In addition, he sports several tattoos on various parts of his body. He usually wear a buttonup shirt or t-shirt with some odd pattern or print. He also also wears a thick leather jacket with an old toy sherrif's badge pinned to it. Slightly baggy jeans and worn Dr. Martens boots complete his attire. Background: Jack cared little for his father's career as Starman, and he certainly didn't intend to take a mantle himself. He was a dealer in second hand collectibles and liked it. Then the Mist began a crime wave. Jack's brother was killed, and his father was put in the hospital. Forced to become Starman through familial duty and desire to keep Opal City safe.
