Hello everybody! This is just a general thread for tossing around character ideas, checking if they work, things like that. Don't fill it up with questions about one specific character, but if you have any general ideas or things you think are neat or want to check out the validity of, feel free to post them.

Likely just going to rewrite Destiny to fit into Divine Blood verse, might upgrade her to power armor. Not sure if I can pull off Succubus knight armor in a modern setting.

Grave, note that resources are important, and power armor is EXPENSIVE. This is a low-power setting.

Power Armor hasn't quite been invented yet in universe...I have plans for who will in my canon, feel free to beat them to it.
And point wise, you can get Power Armor by naming your gear aspect "Succubus Knight Power Armor" and then buying things like Power Attack and Armor with a limitation requiring an item.

So, I'm working on my character, and I came up with an interesting idea.
I want her to have 'Anti-Vehicular' as a Power advantage. The base cost is 2. If you take both Strenuous and Limited Attacks, the cost is reduced to 0. ...Then things get tricky.
After that, I modify it with the Emotional Link power modifier. The base cost of that modifier is three, but I took both Emotional Limits and Auto-Trigger to reduce its cost to 1, making the total cost now of Anti-Vehicular, 1
Emotional Trigger gives a bonus of 3 AP to add to an advantage in modifiers, that are only accessible when the specified emotion (or, in this case, emotions) are triggered. The bonuses that I chose are Equal Standing and Destructive... and removing the previous negative modifier, Limited Attacks. The in-character explanation is that this works by pushing past her normal mental limits from when she was a human, because she's kinda a robot now.
I was wondering if doing that was allowed according to the rules, or not. Or if I can have an Official Head GM Approval Stamp of Officialness to allow it anyway, since it makes sense to me. XD
Edit: I was also looking at the Weakness 'advantage' that gives more Advantage Points. It says that the max additional Advantage Points that weaknesses can give is equal to half the total base Advantage Points we get -- in this case, three. So, Weakness can give a max AP boost of 1.5
I'm assuming that that is rounded down to 1 and not rounded up to 2 and am building my character around that, but I figured I'd check anyway.

Allowed? Yes. Your Math? I have no idea...Note also, that Weakness tied to an advantage pool cna give you MUCH more stuff. (Dryads, for instance, have Weakness of -6!)

Advantage pool... those are the 'buy this set of advantages' pre built by the book, right? I'm not planning on getting any of those, unfortunately, so those don't apply.
So... I'm correct in that we can only gain 1 AP without an advantage pool?
And, finally, one last question... from Shards of Power, how much additional AP would the "Limit: Cannot use on living beings" attached to Power Strike give?

1.5 advantage points = 15 experience points

Don't ask me why they separate XP and Advantage Points despite 1 AP = 10 XP ....I had art related to that separation commissioned and received before I realized how irritating it was.

From how I understood it, I'll assume Clint from the Demon next door short as NPC character. As for my Player Character, I have gathering up an idea but I'm still not certain if I'll stick with it. Time will tell!

*nods* The Demon Next Door cast will be NPCs, allowing a large variety of hijinks run by NPCs. We can continue that until we get hijinks by PCs.
