By the way, does anyone know what the "x2" next to some powers means?

[Powder Miner]

Two power slots.

[Twinwolf]

Sheet is partly finished. I'll wait until Dwarmin answers my questions for the rest of it.

[Powder Miner]

Heh, I'm in a similar position.

[Twinwolf]

I have the idea in mind, it's mostly the backstory questions I need answered.

[Powder Miner]

I'm just asking if a trained hero can have a magic device, basically, made by someone else. It's actually super important for multiple elements.

[Twinwolf]

If they had magic devices, wouldn't they be a Gimmick hero?

[Powder Miner]

The ICONS material and the OP mention Devices being used by Trained heroes, I'm just trying to suss out the complications and specific bits involved with Trained hero device usage. But the deciding thing here, I hope, would be that the character has genuinely no idea how to make anything magic -- he just has a magic shield to bestow on him his one power, and doesn't have a fleshed out set of powers because the one thing is all he has and he can't make any others. He's a Trained hero in that his actual training lies in a conpletely separate field from magic; the shield is from someone else, which will be very much relevant to his wanting to leave Fairfield if I can have him use the magic shield.

YES!
Expect a sheet from me, I've been jumping for a good superhero RP

Wooo, Gigla linked me here and despite being busy with post-exams stuff, I'll be posting before Sunday

Actually, the two Gimmick heroes (Abram and GW) right now use tech.

From what I understand, a gimmick hero doesn't have powers independent of that gimmick-like Ironmans armor, outside of it he's just Tony Stark. A trained heroes powers/gadgets are separate from him.

Generally, it will be much easier to nullify a gadget power (by like, stealing it or something) than a gimmick power.

Edit: More relevant, can high level TK and, for example, Gravity Control move people as well or is that not a thing?

I don't see why not. That's a creative use of two abilities.

To clarify, would that be only possible by overlaying the two or would just the one, at a sufficiently high level, work?

Quoting because GM's online.

I think you could use either/or. But using both would require a double save from your target-to resist both powers.

A few questions:

-I am considering having a character with powers based around light. If I were to take Elemental Control: Light, and take Movement as one of the powers that come with it, could the movement be turning into light for a moment and dashing a distance? Or would that be Alternate Form: Light?
-Do we specify backstory from before the character was at the town, or just how they've lived in it?
-When will players be selected? On what criteria, specifically?
-Will there be a waitlist in case a player drops out or their character dies and for whatever reason cannot return?

IIRC Characters can easily come back, due to the nature of this being more or less a playable superhero comic.

Everyone knows only Batman's parents and Uncle Ben stay dead in comics. Pretty much.
