M&M 2nd ed. Agile Lockpicking Feat

[Duggan]

In a game I'm going to be GMing, a player suggested that their character might have a feat allowing them to use their Dexterity bonus for Disable Device instead of Intelligence. I told them it would be fine, then started checking sheets via Hero Lab and realized I wasn't certain how to build that feat. So, using Speed of Thought, I figured a way to do it, so I figured I'd share.

This bonus comes up as being from "Agile Lockpicking" instead of "Attribute", but it's close enough for government work.

Funny, as soon as you started to describe this, I thought "Sounds vaguely like what was done with Speed of Thought..."

I used that as a template. It has to be marked as a temporary bonus to avoid PL limits. I should have been able to just change the associated attribute, but I couldn't get that to work.

Timing perhaps?

Eh, the assignment itself was erroring out. Without a template to work with, it would have been guesswork to find the syntax.

I know how that goes...
