Wait a sec... Is Natural Armor still considered an attribute? If I spent 12 points on Partial Alt Form so I can access two abilities from Dragon Form, could I use Natural Armor as one? Dragon Rena has 48 natural armor. Could I have Rena partially transform her skin into scales, and add that 48 armor to my total armor? Because that would give Rena a total of 88 armor in human form, not including the shield. She would have better defense than Bill.

Yes to what, specifically? I really need this clarified before I spend the points on it. |

Yes to all three of those questions about armor. Were there more I missed?

Just the question about Mega Flare. I just wanted to make sure I can choose Mega Flare with Partial Alt. Form.
So, let me make sure I have this right. I spend 12 points on Partial Alt Form, and choose two abilities from Dragon Form. I choose Mega Flare and Natural Armor. This allows Rena to transform her skin into dragon scales, giving her 48 extra armor, and allows her to use Mega Flare in this new "Hybrid form". Mega Flare has the same stats as it does in full dragon form.
Mechanics question now. Can I have Rena partially transform and stay that way for the entire battle? Can I have her partially transform AND attack on the same turn, or does transforming- even partially- automatically use up my whole turn?

Transforming takes a turn.
I'm not making you lock in which abilities you take when you form.

Transforming takes a turn. I'm not making you lock in which abilities you take when you form. So, I can transform and then choose which two abilities I want to use? And then for the next battle, I can choose different abilities if I want to? Also, for RP convenience, can we say Bill helped Rena customize her suit a bit, so that when Rena transforms and sprouts wings, they don't tear through her armor? |

Okay then. Putting 12 points into Partial Alt Form and saving the last point. For dragon form, I'm probably just going to upgrade Mega Flare more.
After next planet, I'm either getting Extra Actions or Power Armor Systems.

*Pokes Crow*
I'll be able to partially transform outside of battle too, right? For RP stuff.

I dunno. Just checking.  This means Rena is suddenly so much more versatile. Only thing is, I realized Rena can't do the full damage with Mega Flare in human/hybrid form, unless I go full offense and select Dragon Form's Massive Damage AND Mega Flare for her two abilities. Oh well, small price to pay. In addition, Rena is now a walking, superwoman tank. Transform into Hybrid Form, select Superstrength and Armor as her two dragon abilities. Boom, 88 armor and 4 Ranks in Superstrength. That'll make her do 87 damage with her unarmed attacks and let her lift twice as much as Bill. And then, when I take Power Armor Systems and she gets an extra two ranks in Superstrength while wearing her armor? That's 6 ranks in Superstrength total. 103 damage. Oh yeah baby. Anyway, I'm happy. Rena is basically Frieza now. |

What's the name of the Partial Alt Form attribute? I can't find it on the sheet/guide.

NVM, I'll edit it in manually and just call it Partial Alt. Form. Mega Flare has been updated. Behold. 130 damage(Total, excluding Continuous damage) Rank 12 Range 3 Area 3 Spreading 1 Continuous 1 Penetrating 12 Accurate 3 Selective 1 Piercing 2 Now, whenever Rena uses Mega Flare, a shield of psychic energy will pop up around any of her allies near the impact zone. So Sophia no longer has to be afraid of getting hit by a stray Mega Flare.  Edit: All done. Both character sheets have been updated. |

Juuust wanna clarify: Power armor super strength doesnt stack with normal super strength, the bigger one overlaps the smaller one. Also, pardon me if im wrong, but crow said the cost of each partial alt form is the cost of awkward size...uh, isnt awkward size 4 pts per size rank above the first one?

Hey, Crow, is Pancake very much needed for tomorrow's session?
It'll be a buddy's last weekend off before he goes on shutdown and I'll be tied down (though available for sessions) from seeing them myself after this weekend. If you'd have to do rebalancing, of course, I don't care if you control Pankratiy for the purpose of shooting things. If an RP reason is needed... maybe he just slips under people's radar once they land on whatever planet and does crazy Russian things?
Need his character sheet or anything?
This won't effect Schism, as I'll be nack to my usual habits by Saturday afternoon.

Should be fine. I'll just crank the enemy's stats down a bit.

Oh, I just realized that without Pankraity around, I can increase the difficulty of the group luck check...

I will be at tonight's session, but I still haven't had time to update the character sheet. I'm giving Kurt a syringe gun which injects delicious liquid bratwurst into people, miraculously healing them with the power of German cuisine.
Or its just a normal future space healing drug like MediGel or something.
