HyperInvention
Trump Suit: Intellect
Exemplar: Forge, Tweedledope
Related Powers: Computer Link, Hyperlinguistics
HyperInvention works very
similarly to hyperlinguistics. The hero may rapidly learn how a piece of
technology works or how to duplicate a specific effect by constructing a
piece of technology. The difficulty of new technologies appears below:
- Current Human Technology
Easy action
- Alien Humanoid Technology
Challenging action
- Alien Non-humanoid
Technology Desperate action
The character needs material
to use this power and cannot create something from nothing. When building
equipment, this power may be used instead of Intellect.
NOTE: The X-Men Roster Book
officially lists Forge's mutant power as "Mechanical Empathy."
Hyper-Invention is an alternate way of presenting this ability.
Molding
Trump Suit: Intellect
Exemplar: Captain Universe, Masque
Related Powers: Telekinesis, Transmutation, Animation
This power allows you to
shape a substance, without changing its composition or chemical structure.
This can include shaping rock or metal into giant hands or beautiful
artwork. This can also be used to alter peoples faces or bodies.
Limit: Only Non-Living Substances
Limit: Only Living Substances
Stunt: Imitation - Others (Alter others' features so they look like
someone else)
Stunt: Ensnarement
Stunt: Create Physical Weapons

First Aid
Ability: Intellect
The original game had this as a skill. If the character with this skill
makes an Average (8) Intellect action,
they can restore one card or the value of a random card in Health to a
combatant who fell unconscious during the previous exchange. However, the
character cannot perform complex operations or diagnose illnesses, like
the Medicine skill. The character can patch together a temporary cure
until a real doctor arrives or handle simple ailments like cuts and
bruises.
Resist Domination
Ability: Willpower
The original game had this as a skill. It reduces the difficulty of an
action, by one level, to resist mind control, hypnosis, and other things
that subjugate one's will. I felt it deserved it's own name, since the
closest related skill is Mental Control, and when it comes to conversions,
it seems that giving a character Mental Control, when all they had was
Resist Domination is a little excessive.
