Name: ???

Level: 1

S: 15, E: 15, I: 12, A: 18, C: 7

Weight: 170 lbs.
Basic Hits: 4     Hit Point Modifier: (1.4)x(1.8)x(1.1)x(1.9)=5.27
Hit Points: 22    Power: 60
Move: 48" ground/48 mph (221") flight

Accuracy: +3
Damage Modifier: +2

Detect Hidden/Danger: 20%/24%

Carrying Capacity: 414 lbs.
Base HTH: 1d6

Training: +1 to hit w. Sonic Abilities

Powers:
Sonic Abilities: As per the book except range increases to Str x 3 inches, damage is 2d8, chance to destroy an object on a special attack goes to Str x 3%, sonic defense without having to save actions (except 1 action to set-up a sonic resonance around him at a PR of 1 per turn), and Flight at 1 mph per inch of movement (PR 1 per hour) but has to be within Str x 3 inches of a surface to ride the echo of his hypo-sonic pulses. Can do all kinds of neat tricks with sound and his voice (may require a roll depending on complexity).
Heightened Senses: 360 degree sense (Cannot be snuck up on or surprised and opponents lose flank/rear attack bonuses. Can make attacks to flank/rear at no penalty)
Radar Targeting (gains +3 to all attacks within range of his Sonic Abilities)
Keen Senses (All the character's % senses are at the peak of human perfection. *+10% to both detect hidden and detect danger. *+3/15% to all rolls involving perception or one of the five senses such as tracking, smelling, hearing etc.)

Weakness: Prejudice (would need to figure out)

Gear: Modified Wingsuit (for flight with his Sonic Abilities)

It has possibilities.

I suppose I should have put a bit more text in aside from the proposed character write-up.  I was looking for feedback on whether what I proposed is too much even using the rules on page 3 to upgrade the usefulness of the powers of someone who only has 2. It seemed like a reasonable upgrading, making those 2 powers come out closer to the effectiveness of 4.

Okay, I see it as just fine and fits well within the modifications I've seen Jeff Dee speak of when people have previously asked about modifying/upgrading "low powered" characters.

Yeah, I think you've given the character just the right amount of 'oomph' needed to boost powers when a character only has two of them.

I think this upgraded set of powers isn't out of line. After all, 1d12 to 2d8 is really just one level of damage. For another character with focused sound powers, I humbly submit Silencer from Mercenaries.

Thanks for the feedback, always helpful to have the input of some long-time V&V GMs. I will admit I am curious what John's thoughts would be about this guy, being that he is another V&V GM. Smiley

(I *had* thought about having flight at the speed of sound but felt that probably would be pushing it a bit too much)
