(T6) Gateway * (15-20) The
hero can travel to any point in space, time, or other dimensions by traveling
along bridges she creates herself. She can travel along a bridge from her
current location to a location in space (a green FEAT), time (a yellow FEAT),
and other dimensions (a red FEAT). The destination of each Gateway is a fixed
point in space but the departure end always moves with the hero. A
bridge to another location in space is created by a FEAT. A green FEAT creates a
spatial bridge. The maximum distance the target can be from the hero at the time
the bridge is created is shown on column E of the Range Table. A Gateway through
time is created by a yellow FEAT. The maximum distance into the past or future
the Power can initially reach is the number of centuries equal to the Power rank
number. Gateways into other dimensions or alternate timelines require a red
FEAT. The transdimensional bridges are initially limited to reaching only one
dimension. Additional dimensions require development as Power Stunts. Once
created, the bridge functions no matter how far the hero is in space, time, or
the Multiverse. The
hero has a finite number of locations she can bridge to. Once the hero has
established the bridge, she always returns to it when creating that type of
Gateway. The maximum number of different Gateways the hero can create is equal
to the Power rank number. Shortly after gaining this Power, the hero should
create at least half of her possible Gateways. More can be added at any time. If
the hero exceeds her limit, a previously established bridge is replaced by the
hero is trying to add.
Example: Gatekeeper has Good rank. She can establish up to ten bridges. She
establishes Gateways to her home, her team's headquarters at the Avengers
Minnesota mansion, her ex-boyfriend's timesharing condo in Jamaica, the bottom
of the Atlantic, geo-synchronous orbit 22,400 miles above Minnesota, the crater
of an active volcano in Iceland, the prisoner processing area of Ryker's Island
Federal Prison, Tahiti in the year 1287, the surface of Lake Michigan (twenty
miles east of Milwaukee), and Death Valley. The need arises for a bridge to an
alternate Earth. Gatekeeper concentrates on establishing the link; making the
red FEAT takes her most of the day. Later she realizes that she can't hop over
to Jamaica any more. Oh well, she'd hadn't been there with Wilford since he'd
gotten married. Gateways
automatically transport willing passengers. The Power can be used to catch and
transport unwilling passengers (like foes or rampaging water buffaloes) by means
of an Agility FEAT. The would-be transportee is allowed to resist in any way he
can. |
