Well I was looking at Shadow Fox and I know her totals are off... but she was my first character using DC Adventures, so I'll fix her some time soon and I messed up her Attack numbers... I miss Psistrike helping me remember my Skill totals and helping with my math and misspelling.

[Psistrike]

Shadowfox, interesting as ever. But Abilities cost 2 points per 1 now, so cost would be 50 total. Her Fox Spirit Mask, if it is the Easily Removable version with -2 points/5 points, would cost her 15 points, not 18. Under Offense, Wakizashi would be +11 to hit with Close Attack 5 included. Her powers should now cost 23 total, with her corrected cost for Abilities her total will be 142 points.

Templar, wish I could find artwork like that which fits my characters. Statwise everything is right, but Skills only cost 20 and Defenses 8. Meaning to keep him at 120 points, he has 5 points left to spend.

Ok so after looking Shadow Fox over I made some major tweeks to her build, let me know what you think JD, Psi, and Thorpacolypse and tanks for the support.

Thank you Psistrike! The 3rd ed book is taking me longer to get used to so characters are getting done much slower as I'm re-imaging my old characters and trying make them interesting again... I appreciate your input and the help with things I've missed or calculated incorrectly. I couldn't tell you how much time I spend looking for art that fits or is close to what I think could represent my characters, it's maddening at times. Lol!

Vulgar Display Of Power [Damage (Strength-based): 4, Extras: Alternate Effect (4), Multiattack, Penetrating (4), Flaws: Limited (Weapon Required)] (12 pts)
...Chain Cyclone [Damage (Strength-based): 4, Extras: Area (Burst), Penetrating (4)]
...Chain Shield [Deflect: 6, Extras: Reflect]
...Chain Lash [Damage (Strength-based): 4, Extras: Penetrating (8)]
...Chain Yank [Move Object: 12, Extras: Damaging, Flaws: Close]

Wonderful Character as always. But instead of using limited, use Removable for your power. This would actually make it a -2 flaw, and save you points (especially if its a chain, someone can grab, and just yank away from you).

[Super Nova]

Ty Joshua! ok man I tweeked the Chain powers some and ty for the feedback bro I like this set up better just not sure if I did it all right, if I did she is going to be a beast to deal with.

Looks good, but don't forget to put removable on all the powers in your array.

[Super Nova]

Funny I start to work on this stuff again and what happens?... We start working 6 / 7 days a week 12 hrs a day... lol! I'll try to get something done but it'll be slow for now.
