Well, I've been working on a number of 'new' clix. Many of them I put up previously, but now I'm just about done converting a whole new selection. One of the oddball ones I decided to do was a 'me' clix. I don't really expect to be much more than a thug, but I would give myself a good speed value and the leap part of leap/climb(reping my Track/Long Jump/High Jump/Pole Vault ability). I'm just not sure how to work out the points for it. I know there are a number of point formulas out there, so I'm just trying to work it out with one of them. The answer I guess I'm looking for is a proportion of value.

Leap climb has 4 distinct parts as best as I can tell:

1: The ability to get onto elevated terrain.
2: The ability to treat hindering terrain as 'clear'
3: The ability to move through squares adjacent to enemy characters
4: The ability to attack grounded/elevated characters from the opposite position

So, I'm thinking that I'd qualify for #2.
Here's my question then: about what percentage of the cost of leap climb should I pay to get ability #2. I'm thinking between a third and a half. When it comes to the abilities for leap climb, I'd personally put them in order (best to worst) as 3, 2, 1, 4. I'm looking for other people's opinions though.

Also, what color would you make this new ability? I have access to pretty much any color and I can easily do patterns as well. Currently, I'm thinking Maroon.

cool!

The point formula I use prices leap/climb at .5 per slot. It turns out to be a suprisingly inexpensive power. Hope this helps!

hmm Pole vaulting? maby that would give the ability to go to rooftops too?

As far as colors go.... im not sure.. maby a light green?

Some mage knight powers are printed on circles instead of squares. This might be good to use if you have a preference for an already used color.

yeah, but I'm not that good... I wouldn't think I could pole vault on top of buildings (or even a house) very easily.

Now there's a thought. I think I will do a circle for the leap power. Thanks much for the idea.

But what about that time you were exposed to Chemical X and it augmented you natural skills and powers?

I would go with the frog for the origins. I like the frog idea. Or better yet, he was licking a radioactive toad. You know how those jocks go for those cheap highs.:p



(I am just kidding, I think that anyone who pushes themselvse in a physical activity and stays healthy has great respect for thier bodies, but there are some cases where they try to use a shortcut or abuse substances to escape the stress of percieved pressures)

A Jedi craves not these things.

True, my Rookie version has 'leap', but after my time in the swamp with the green muppet.....
