Permanent Powers
I want to model an permanent memory change power in MM2.
I am pretty shure in the past I could do that, first upgrade the power with extras to continious then use the flaw to change it into permanent. Or alternativly use the flaw and hero lab itself would count how much it would cost you to upgrade it into an continious power then downgrade it. Was that an pipe dream, or was that patched out? Or is it still possible, but I need to take another road? |
There is no such thing as a Permanent attack power. The best you can do is Continuous, which will maintain itself until you cease powering it or it is countered.

Permanent transformation from dirt to castle is not possible, by the book? If the power user dies, all his build castles will get turned back into dirt? Edit: It's for an npc, so I could take liberties. But if there is an RAW method to do what I want to do... I suppose Independend and slow fade would be my best bet? Edit2: Disclaimer: Players will have it easy to be immune against it. |
That's one way to look at it, although on the flip side, how likely is that to last longer than the death of the person who used the power? :)
In terms of inanimate objects (other than Devices), they can't make saves, so transformations are always effective and always permanent. For animate objects, upon death of the wizard, they may not turn back to flesh, but they continue to make saves. Or they don't as the plot requires. |

And the Power User can always turn of their power, if they want to do an reset and begin from anew. Thats really important if you deleted the word document by mistake and there is no undo button :D |
Ah, but Transform is also "Lasting", as per page 70.

Hmm, so rules wise there is an difference between Transform (mental) and Transform.
So the workaround is only needed for Transform (mental). (Or if you want no "undo button" for the Power User.) Thanks, BTW! |
I'm pretty sure that both are Lasting. :) But yes, after the user stops maintaining the power, non-objects get to start making saves.

Ah. Yeah, that would be a typo. I can send it to them to fix, but they haven't implemented a 2E fix in a long time.
And a Continuous Lasting does allow for saves after the power isn't maintained. It's only while you maintain it that there's no saves. |
