Heightened Reflexes

Print Post  
Heightened Reflexes A (Skill): 1d4x5 bonus is added to the character's Initiative.
Heightened Reflexes B (Power): 1d4x5+10 bonus is added to the character's Initiative.

Heightened Reflexes has no power cost and merely endows the character with whatever increased Reflex score he achieves and all the advantages thereof.

I like the math for A but doesn't B seem a bit much?  I'm just playing Devil's Advocate, NOT be critical.

Heightened Reflexes B, is supposed to simulate superhuman reflexes, so the character would have either a +15, 20, 25, or +30 bonus. I don't think it'd unbalance the game to much (but I could be wrong).

I'll play with it, maybe tomorrow I will use it for one of my villains...

((Side note I will post their characters but it will probably be tomorrow...sorry RL is busy with the adoption of a new dog!))

No, I think it's fine. It gives you a chance for a higher number when compared to Heightened Agility. Considering all the bonuses agility gives, this seems well balanced

And unlike Heightened Agility, this only affects the characters Initiative, nothing else.

I like it as well.  It's less powerful than Heightened Speed or Heightened Agility, both of which do other powerful things.

I'm gonna try it today with the kids, it made sense with the character Impact...and of course I rolled a 4 for the B type.

Let me know how this worked out for you, as I'm interested in getting a bit of feedback.

I will give you a run down later today but let's just say that the martial artist Impulse really enjoyed this teamed up with Extra Actions from the Martial Arts house rules!
